This is the 2nd single off of WOLFIE’S JUST FINE’S forthcoming album “Everyone Is Dead Except Us” out June 16th.
Hey friends, this song is an ode to a window of time in my childhood when the world felt simple, and unfettered and unfiltered joy was still easily accessible. A time when Hulk Hogan defeating Andre the Giant meant that everything was going to be okay for ever and ever. When playing with my WWF wrestling figurines in my backyard with my older brother was more thrilling and exciting than any roller coaster ride or $200 million dollar blockbuster film. As an adult, I rarely have access to that kind of emotional exhilaration anymore because, you know, life. However, that pure, blissful, unadulterated, child-like joy is so powerful, that even the memory of it can cause a small portion to travel through time to the present and put a silly smile on my solemn forty-two year-old face.
To add to the joy of it all, my mom makes her award-worthy acting debut here as “Grandma“ and my nephews were pitch perfect as “Brothers in the late 80s playing with WWF wrestling figurines in the backyard” (Thank you to my brother Jer and sister-in-law Mel for kindly and recklessly letting me borrow the boys for the afternoon). Also a big thank you to my brother Jason for loaning me his precious collection of vintage LJN figurines, objectively the best toys ever made.
