December 6, 1999

The series of events progressed as so:

1.
Two years ago I heard a song on Realtime (a now defunct radio show) that juxtaposed the lyrics of Public Enemy's "By the time I get to Arizona" over Herb Albert's "Whipped Cream". Loved it.

2.
Two days ago heard on campus radio Herb Alpert's "Whipped Cream. I tried desperately to rap over the music to recreate the musical experience I heard two years ago. It was not satisfying.

3.
Using Google (favourite search engine of late) I find not only a reference to the song, but the entire album in mp3 format from the wonderful detrius.net I learn the song was created by the Evolution Control Committee.

4.
I think: there is of one individual who should be told about this song. This individual was so taken by Whipped Cream's album cover that he created the Whip It! Art Car. This individual is Godfrey. I sent him an informative missive by email.

5.
Godfrey replies and tells me that not only does he know of the song but he's corresponded and met with the creator of the song, Mark Gunderson, and even had a picture to prove it: this one is from Burning Man 99.

6.
Um. There's not much in terms of closure (and I am so very not post-modern as I do love closure) but I do have a page of links worth visiting. Enjoy.
