Nothing more pathetic than an old guy trying to stay relevant.

Moby? Who the hell is Moby? And why are we supposed to care?

Sounds to me like this Moby Dude is gettin' it on more like at the true Roots of Punk ala The RAMONES, B-52s,
Dictators, Talking Heads...CBGBs which had its dose
of angst, anti guv, anti dis n' dat but was Far More
about FUN and SATIRE and PIZZA and Red Chuck Taylors.
Punk crossed the Atlantic and was picked up by presumed to be "First Punks": The SEx Pistols, The Clash, The Vibrators, et al and somewhere along the way began to take itself seriously and missed the Point
because there is No Point. Twenty, Twenty, Twenty Four
Hours to Go. I Wanna Be Sedated. I Do All 16 Dances.
All the Girls are in Love with me, I'm a Teenage Lobotomy.
The Poet Elvis said something like: I used to be
disgusted, now I try to be amused ( I paraphrase ... too many lobotomies). Maybe I've got it All Wrong,
but I would rather laugh and make fun of Suckas, Liars,
and Idiot Dunces like DUBya and Jonnie MacPain than
Worship the Gods Anarchy and Nihilism. Is MOBY perhaps
being more authentic in his parody? Some folks don't realize that the Sex Pistols were an assembled project
(not exactly "designed for TV") but put together in similar fashion to "The Monkees".

All you idiots who hate on Moby so much need to get to a fucking rave and watch Moby do a DJ set... has anyone ever seen how AMAZING he is live?
His techno/house DJ mixes were fucking incredible! I wasn't too familiar at all with his stuff, I only went to that rave to see Christopher Lawrence and Benny Benassi, but I walked out that night as a new Moby fan.
Seriously, look up Moby's live stuff on youtube, that guy is insanely awesome!

I'm just going to put it out there and see what happens: THIS IS SATIRE! IT'S A JOKE!

It's pretty sad that most of the douchebags who watched this video didn't get what was going on. Sad. So much for "No Child Left Behind."

Two things:
1) Moby *was* in a hardcore band called The Vatican Commandos in the mid-80s. They were OK but not great. They released two 7" records and a 12". I used to own them but ditched 'em long ago. He's made *claims* to have been a member of Flipper but that's a huge exaggeration (he sang for them for two shows or something when one of them was sick, I think).
2) Yeah, I know it's satire. Sadly, it's just plain not funny, except for the last line.

luke xat 10-10-2008

Jaredat 10-07-2008
Duesche! Moby wishes he was ever punk. Let me try to be cool and say I was punk and people will like me. Don't ruin punk with your duescheness!

Davieat 10-11-2008
Punk was ruined with modern day bands like Fall Out Boy and Panic at the disco, and the plain white ts, and shit like that the classic angry, fuck the government anarchy punk rock is where its at, Sex Pistols, Bad Religion, The Stray Cats, Misfits.

Watch Moby get beat down by real punks on boston beatdown hahahah
ronray02at 10-07-2008
Moby's punk influenced "Animal Rights" album was way cool. I think his band should be his age. I hope this isn't the real line-up
terronesat 10-08-2008
i like the part about being sponcered by master card, hot topic, an rock star energy. but I really don't think this is gona make it as a show
sigurosnyoctat 10-08-2008
i agree... classic! people that really listen to moby understand this.
rezickat 10-08-2008
Moby is such an out of touch f'n dork! I see what he is trying to do but... just stop dude.
loverdedat 10-08-2008
actually the whole spoof is based on the fact that most people know moby by his electronic softer side, Moby actuallly played in a true punk band, he even says the name at one pt in the skit....and yes it was good. punk has been dead for a long time, the true spirit of being an individual died and now its nothing more than another fashion trend, I like the trend in north cal. the kids get dropped off by theyre parents in bmws and go straight to telegraph to be for money...since when was punk about being poor and begging. Moby is punker than most of u who clai mo be punx...i dont even like the guys music but that doesnt mean he is talentless
