Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} {{quote\| ''"LONG LIVE THE PARTY!!!"''}}▼ [[File:Andrewwet_7558.jpg\|frame\|The cover of I Get Wet.]] ▲{{quote\| ''"LONG LIVE THE PARTY!!!"''}} [[Andrew WKW.K.]] is a rock vocalist, classically-trained pianist, songwriter, motivational speaker, and television personality. Andrew is most famous for his boisterous approach to rock music, characterized by shouted, chanted vocals, multi-layered guitars, huge pop hooks and keyboard flourishes (although he had since tried some experimentation, most notably an album made up of piano instrumentals). He is also famed for his persona - a relentlessly optimistic, somewhat philosophical man with an insatiable desire to motivate, or "party," as he usually refers to it. It is very likely that he is ''the'' biggest [[Cloudcuckoolander]] in rock. Counting records only released in Asia, Andrew WK has put out six albums, although his most famous to this day is ''I Get Wet,'' which has the famous cover of his nose bleeding profusely. Line 10 ⟶ 9: ---- ~~===~~ {{tropelist\|IT'S TIME TO PARTY!!! ~~===~~}} * [[Broken Record]]: "...party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard, party hard..." * '''[[Cloudcuckoolander]]''' * [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: He was a very dark teenager and had many run-ins with the law, a drastic contrast to the persona he's known for today. Well, and there's [http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2010/apr/07/andrew-wk-juvenile-restraining-order this.] * [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: "It's Time To Party" has the rather risque lyric "OPEN YOUR MOUTH, WE'RE ALL GONNA COME! [[Punctuated! ~~for~~For! Emphasis!\|IN! YOUR!

The one with the hard rock about partying? Yeah, he gives [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HcFehu6B_M motivational, introspective lectures]. He also released a piano-only album as a way to get away from the record company's constant demands for constant party anthems. * [[Indecipherable Lyrics]]: Most every time the lyrics to "Ready To Die" are subbed, the lines ''{{smallcaps\|"Been a long time ~~coming~~comin', now you better get ~~running~~runin'"}}'' are written as [indecipherable][indecipherable]. * [[Intercourse with You]]: From "Really In Love": "I DO WHAT I WANT / AND I WANT YOU!!!" * [["I Want" Song]]: "We Want Fun." Even more notably, "Make Sex." {{quote\| ''"I DON'T WANNA ([[Call-and-Response Song\|MAKE LIFE]])!!!''~~<br />~~ ''I DON'T WANNA (MAKE DEATH)!!!''~~<br />~~ ''I DON'T WANNA (MAKE LOVE)!!!''~~<br />~~ ''I JUST WANNA MAKE SEX!!!"'' }} * [[Jerkass]]: He describes his teenaged self as such in "Tear It Up."

That's really all that has to be said. ** He showed up on [[~~Four Chan~~4chan]]'s /mu/ board once. * [[Refuge in Audacity]]: For one, playing at Gathering Of The Juggalos. * [[Self-Backing Vocalist]] Line 40 ⟶ 38: {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Music~~{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:Musicians]] [[Category:~~Andrew~~Pages ~~W.K.~~with working Wikipedia tabs]] ▲[[Category:Music]]
