Kevin Bloody Wilson



Kevin Bloody Wilson is an Australian comedian, singer/songwriter, satririst, guitarist and parodist who is perhaps best known for his comical songs, utilising his heavy Australian accent. They generally consist of irreverent humour and plenty of swearing with eclectic musical backing.

Despite a complete lack of radio or television coverage (due to the explicit, crude and sexual nature of his songs and general humour), he has built up a widespread cult following throughout the English-speaking world. Since 1984 he has released 21 albums, which are mainly sold through his website; he has also licensed them to mail order companies in different countries to provide easier distribution.

He has been nominated five times for Best Comedy release for the Australian ARIA Music Awards.

He was born Dennis Bryant on 13 February 1947 in Sydney, New South Wales, although he identifies himself with Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, where he was an electrician in the gold mines. In the 1970s, he fronted a band called "Bryan Dennis and the Country Club". He also used the name "Bryan Dennis" when he hosted a country music show on radio 6KG in Kalgoorlie from 1973 to 1980. After losing that job he moved to Perth. There he began playing Bawdy Songs in pubs and football clubs as a hobby. In 1984, encouraged by the reception he got at these performances, he put together a cassette of his songs called Your Average Australian Yobbo, which he sold at gigs and by mail order. He managed to sell 22,000 copies of the cassette before it was eventually transferred to LP, where it went on to sell many thousands more.

The rest, as they say, is fuckin' history.

A representative sample of his work (which is to say, some of the filthiest stuff you'll ever hear) can be found on YouTube. You can also visit his website.

Not to be confused with Wade Wilson, Slade Wilson, or Rainn Wilson. Or Michael. Fucking. Wilson.

 * Anti-Christmas Song: "Hey Santa Claus", "Ho Ho Fucking Ho", "Santa Was Stoned".


 * Audience Participation: A common feature of his concert appearances.


 * Australian Accent: One of his trademarks.

"Hey mums and dads, just smell his breath and check his bloodshot eyes And don't listen to him, boys and girls, 'cause he tells fucking lies! He's just a pisstank and a pervert and he's not even very bright  ' Cause the old fuckin' wanker forgot me fuckin' bike!"
 * Bad Santa: From "Hey Santa Claus":


 * Badass Biker: The central figure of "Tattoo of Santa".  Subverted in that despite his fearsome appearance and rumored history, he's a jolly fellow who makes a point of making sure kids who wouldn't otherwise have a happy Christmas get one.


 * Bawdy Song: His stock in trade.


 * Bratty Half-Pint: "The Kid".


 * British Pubs: "The Local"


 * Brother-Sister Incest: "Don't Touch Your Sister".


 * Christmas Songs: "Tattoo of Santa".


 * Clingy MacGuffin: His version of the traditional song "The Cat Came Back", "The Fuckin' Cat's Back".


 * Cluster F-Bomb: Pretty much anything he sings or says.


 * Country Matters: Possibly the second most common word in his songs after "fuck".
 * He wrote the song "You Can't Say 'Cunt' In Canada" when told he should avoid the word where possible.


 * Country Music: The Australian variety is pretty much his base musical style.


 * Cult Classic: Everywhere in the English-speaking world.


 * A Date with Rosie Palms: "Grandad's Got A Stiffy".


 * Fan Nickname: "Kev".


 * Fun with Acronyms: His song "D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F". (Do I Look Like I Give A Fuck?)


 * G'day, Mate: Australian slang makes up everything in his songs between the F-bombs.


 * Generation Xerox: Wilson's daughter Tammy Jo "Jenny Talia" Bryant has followed in her father's footsteps singing similarly bawdy songs, some of them being reworded Kev songs done from a female perspective.


 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: Utterly averted.  Wilson doesn't even acknowledge the existence of the radar, and doesn't try to slide things past it.  He just blows right through it, leaving it wondering what the hell just happened.


 * Intercourse with You: "Rootin' in the Back of the Ute", "Fuck Ya Guts Out".


 * List Song: "You Can't Say 'Cunt' In Canada", "The Local", "Supa Mega Fugly"


 * Local Hangout: "The Local".


 * Michael Jackson: Targeted for part of "Living Next Door to Alan".


 * Mirror-Cracking Ugly: "Supa Mega Fugly".


 * Name and Name: The song "Fair and Just", a parody of cop shows like Starsky and Hutch. It would probably make Kev's attitude towards Australian police clear enough even without the piggy grunts and squeals.

"Good day, Mr. Alan Bond, how you goin', mate? You got a real flash car, but my one's flash one-A. And I believe that my one's faster than yours, Mr. Bond,  ' Cause mine's a red one!"
 * Red Ones Go Faster: From "Living Next Door to Alan":


 * Refuge in Audacity: Refuge, hell.  He fuckin' lives there.
 * He first performed the song "You Can't Say 'Cunt' In Canada" in Canada.


 * Separated by a Common Language: Some of his more... Australian songs can be a bit hard for Americans to decipher.


 * Sir Swearsalot


 * Song Parody: In 1980 he actually lost his job as a DJ for one he wrote and performed, called "Heaving on a Jet Plane".


 * Stage Name: Born "Dennis Bryant".


 * A Worldwide Punomenon: One of the tools he uses for dirty humor, as in the song "Dicken's Cider".
