Lunchtime Poll: What's Your Favorite Fart Song?

Last week I asked if you thought the new ass-filled Mastodon video, “

,” was sexist. Over 60 percent of you voted no. Some commenters made good points — the women appear to be having a good time and they're in control, more the stars than Mastodon are — and one of the dancers in the video came to the band's defense,

about her experience filming the video.

But the video still bothers me. While I want to applaud Mastodon for trying to incorporate new ideas in their video, they’re framing it not as a celebration of bounce culture or a nod to their Atlanta roots, but more of a “Hahaha look at this weird shit! Aren’t we crazy?” freak show. That’s a problem. Especially given how many times a black woman’s bouncing body has been used as a prop in pop music videos this year. I was also reminded of this bullshit T-shirt they were selling last year (that's not subversive, that's just dumb). So after thinking more about it, and recognizing the dancers are having fun (which is good!), I still think Mastodon’s just trying to be attention-grabbing, and they’re exploiting the dancers in order to insert themselves in a very hot conversation right now. It worked! Good job, Mastodon.

Now that we've talked about butts, let's talk about farts!

Have you noticed that the theme song to American Horror Story (new seasons starts tonight!) sounds like an industrial band farting all over themselves? It does! So many fart noises! It got me thinking about other songs that celebrate the best bodily function (both on purpose and on accident). Surprisingly, there aren't a lot (and sadly, these Pussycat Dolls lyrics are not real). So in order to really examine the best fart songs out there I asked some friends, the fart experts that they are, and here are some of the great fart-filled songs we could come up with:

“Who Farted” by Vincebus Eruptum

American Horror Story theme song by James S. Levine

“Farts Are Liberty” by Gene Belcher

"Dumb Head" by The Sharades

"I Can't Stop Farting" by The Queers

And finally, my friend Jeff says "I can't believe someone made a whole song that's just one long fart noise but here it is":

"Old Time Rock 'n' Roll" by Bob Seger

Such farty fun!

Let's make this official. Which song is the best fart song? (If I missed a great one, tell me about it in the comments! Perhaps a gassy playlist is in our future?)

Pfffft.
