LYRICS
Pull over, motherfucker!
I’m beyond irate!
You’ve been driving 25,
And now I’m fuckin' late!
I punched my roof,
Turned my fists black and blue.
I bit my steering wheel,
Till I broke a fuckin’ tooth.
I just wanted to see
What this asshole looks like.
He looks like an asshole,
So I was fuckin' right!
Oh, you’re
Cruisin’ for a contusion!
Cruisin’ for a contusion!
Cruisin’ for a contusion!
Cruisin’ for a contusion!
I've been staring at the pile
Of disgusting Beanie Babies in your back window,
Fantasizing 'bout tearin' them Beanie bitches to shreds.
...You're fuckin' dead!
I walk up to your car,
Chewing broken glass.
I see your bitch is embarrassed;
I tell her to relax…
I just wanted to see
What this asshole looks like.
He looks like an asshole,
So I was fuckin' right!
Oh, you’re
Cruisin’ for a contusion!
Cruisin’ for a contusion!
Cruisin’ for a contusion!
Cruisin’ for a contusion!
Abracadabra! You wanna see a trick?
Your bitch is in my car, suckin’ the mayor’s dick!
I like how it's always the same side profile of him holding a lamp. Truly a mysterious man.
He refused to be photographed from any other angle
😢@@ObscurestVinyl........ it's his bright side .....
@@ObscurestVinylLOL Love that!!!
Nothing confusing about man who kicks ass and takes names. Mayor Breslin meant business, you could only get his good side.
@ObscurestVinyl Clearly, that is his best side to display the lamp , shade, and cord. Mayor's fade is tight .
Not even 5 seconds and he says "Bitch".
I love this man
He lets you know the temperature right out the gate 😎
Straight to the facts! My man...! 😆
Mayor Breslin won the Nobel War Prize.
First black man to do so too, man shattered so many records!
@@Fulgrim2in the eighties, the Warsaw Pact *joined him.*
@@Fulgrim2 First lamp salesman to do so. Everyone needs a fucking lamp.
That's a pure fuckin gold comment
Haha
"I just wanted to see what this asshole looks like, he looks like an asshole so I was right."
This line alone should get Mayor Breslin inducted into the Hall of Fame
He really was the voice of a generation
That line is almost zen in its philosophical perfection 🙏
I hope this one eventually joins the others on Karafun because I can’t wait to sing that line on karaoke night.
ficking right
Mayor breslin has got to be my favorite individual in obscurest vinyl's discography
Rodney Munch’s my favorite but Mayor Breslin is pretty good too, love his full on aggro approach 😄
At this point it's a full-blown audiocinematic universe, not a mere discography.
Bobo Bojangles is definitely a close #2 pick for sure.
He's the perfect vessel for "everyday shit that just makes you mad as hell for no reason"
Poor Bobo can't keep away from that bingo club 😂@@SkullCrusher-94
Mayor Breslin has my vote.
Heard he makes a hell of a sandwich too😮
Mayor 4 Prez
@@JLE999 yes
He doesn't need your vote because he already rules this town.
He truly is the voice of the people.
Legend has it this song was written during an Atlanta traffic jam. There were no survivors.
Man .. I read about that in school.
😂😂😂
Some say they felt the shockwave as far as Chicago.
😂
The truest fact I've read all year. Might still be a while before the "Behind the Music" episode on that one though because you know Breslin has black female lawyers who are sharp as chiseled diamonds and not taking any chances with any possible statute of limitations... even if it was a justified act of arguable self-defense.
Ok enough soapboxing from me 💁♀️ back to the tunes 😅 🎶
My date: So, what music are into?
Me: Well, it's complicated...
The secrets your asshole keeps
@@JayHuntJones "and why did you hand me a lamp?"
@metalburner357 "I don't know b!+ch...put the shade on your head and go walk into traffic. I can't do everything for you."
😂😂😂❤❤❤
@metalburner357 😂😂😂
I'll fondly remember this golden age of AI.
When they take over and enslave us, remember the good times.
The future is now 😀
"You've been driving 25,
And now I'm fucking late!" 🤣🤣
I lost it.
The most aggro man in show business
Violence against beanie babies, flute solos, death threats. This song has everything and then some.
The third track from Mayor Breslin's 1975 landmark album "Mad as Hell."
Which was quickly followed by the EP titled GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER
@@matthewarms3786my favorite Mayor Breslin album was his landmark hit “BITCH?!”
@fluffywolfo3663 it is certainly his most profound and introspective album, for sure. Too many folks don't take notice of and process the interrogative nature of the album's title and explore all the lines of query it hits at; What Bitch; Why Bitch; How Bitch; When Bitch; Where Bitch; and of course Who Bitch?!
It's a cornerstone of the American songbook and influential enough that I consider it Mayor's equivalent of To Pimp a Butterfly
Following his release from his 5 year long incarceration for public indecency and indecent exposure involving a lamp and a bus in 1971 Mayor Breslin took back to the microphone to resume his singing career where he had left off. This song is reportedly inspired by an event taking place in 1978 whilst Mayor Breslin was on bail for an incident in a sandwich shop.
Mayor Breslin died in 1992 in Livonia Michigan from a stroke arising from a fit of anger in a Kmart where the cashier would not let him use two discount coupons on the same item he wanted to buy that was currently a blue light special at the time.
I love how Mayor Breslin is always agro. Man is dangerous.
And the flute solo is fire.
I like to think the other driver is the same guy from the delicatessen
Still remember my dad asking him to sign an autograph for me as a little kid. My dad told me it said, "Never give up! M Breslin". It wasn't much later when I realized it actually said "Never give a fuck! M Breslin". Class act!
oh mayor. he always knows the right words.
The Mayor always told it like it was
I'm a simple man. I see Mayor Breslin, I click. He's the voice of a generation
If Mayor Breslin was the lead in the movie Falling Down instead of Michael Douglas, L.A. would have burned to the ground.
"Falling Down" is my favorite Mayor album! Most fans aren't even aware that movie was named in his honor.
Just give him all the Grammys. That breakdown at the end. Chefs Kiss.
Usually in music, a "breakdown" would be something else entirely. Not for Mayor Breslin!
This cat is holding an effing lamp!😂
I mean, it seems like you could use a fuckin' lamp.
@@thebigshakuna4253 The deep mysteries of that man’s soul
Definitely can give one hell of a contusion with one.
@@deltastorm2013 Lamp is truly an enlightened choice.
Mayor Breslin visited my town during his world tour in the mid 80s. Rumor has it that he stopped by a laundromat and when the attendant wouldn't make change for a $100 he smashed him over the head with an iron and stuffed him into an industrial washing machine. Poor Alejandro never recovered from the lesson Mayor taught him that morning. To this day his family will still tell you that "He just arrived in the US" and "He couldn't speak English", but Mayor knew better than to fall for that type of trickery.
The concert later that night was truly magical. My wife and I fertilized our first born child after the show and each year I make it a point to play Mayor's album in full on their birthday to commemorate such an exciting time in our life.
Alejandro was pining for an ironing
I'd like this if it wasn't at 69
@@a2d "Pining for an Ironing" was a solid B-side to "Cruisin' for a Contusion", glad to see some people bring that classic back up as I hardly hear it anymore.
His name is Mayor, because he OWNS the place
Aggro Jazz is Mayor Breslin's own genre.
Mayor Breslin in the delicatessen with a lamp
And everywhere else.
Breslin, When the tooth broke.
His eyes open, witnessing assholes.
I laughed I cried I shit my pants. Again.
This cat is hard AF. Don't play with the Mayor.
Nothing beats a new Mayor Breslin release. I used to be a skeptic, but now I’m a full-blown Breslin Boy. I even went to a live show in Evansville last year, where The Mayor signed my lamp.
We need a movie with Eddie Murphy playing Mayor Breslin, seriously, he would pull it off better than anybody. Amazing song as always!
A musical specially
I love how the framing of the image makes it looks like the mayor knocked over the car with the lamp he’s holding 😂
Mayor Breslin is real af. He makes Ike Turner look like Mister Rogers. One pimp slap from him would send your ass into the next zip code.
Mayor don't slap. He uses his lamp to teach a lesson.
Knowing that Breslin was able to recover from his anger issues later in life after being diagnosed with high blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmia, makes relistening to his old work even more amazing. What a wonder of a musician...
he did ultimately die from complications arising from diarrhea, however
@@marshamk Thank God he didn't fall for that glue craze otherwise he would have had a really painful experience.
Another banger by the master, Obscurest Vinyl. And may the Honorable Mayor Breslin stay angry!
He’s perpetually losing it
@@ObscurestVinyl Hey, you're the unsurpassed, perennial master of this new era music artistry. Par excellence, my friend. Not to mention, in this genre you're inimitable as a lyricist. You are incomparable. Those OTHER channels WISH they could write lyrics like you, but you're unrivaled.
@@FLQueerLiberal1982 Agreed. "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on glue" is pure genius.
@@FLQueerLiberal1982also highly agree. Not every OV song follows the formula of just being vulgar to be vulgar, there's actually art behind the usage of the vulgarities. Not every song being tired toilet humor helps too, hence why Mayor Breslin is my favorite of all the singers
@@james_fisch PRECISELY! And all of his artists seem to have unique personalities. Most of the other "creators" out there... I listen, then realize their song has nothing to truly offer, so I turn it off.
We've all been Mayor Breslin during the work commute. It's why I carry a spare lamp on the backseat.
My girlfriend won't let me have a crowbar in the back of the car, but she never said shit about lamps...
Fun fact: the 1992 Los Angeles riots were not (as popularly believed) the result of racial tensions boiling over because of the beating of Rodney King by LAPD officers. They actually began when Mayor Breslin was stuck in a traffic jam on the 110 freeway on April 29th, 1992. Another motorist in a Chevy Cavalier tried to cut him off near the 10 interchange, at which point Breslin threw a molotov cocktail into the car's open window, causing it to burst into flames. The car then careened off the side of the freeway and crashed through the front of a sporting goods store in Exposition Park, causing a frenzied crowd to start looting and setting fire to other nearby businesses The ensuing riots spread throughout the entire city and continued for six days until the National Guard was called in to restore order. When a music journalist later asked Breslin if he had any regrets over the role his actions played in sparking the civil unrest, he simply shrugged and said "that motherfucker was cruisin' for a contusion".
Where's Trip Watkins? Is he still stuck in that baptism? It's about time for him to release another banger.
I think he’s still touring
I heard some crazy a$$ Jesuits were attempting to track him down...said they were pretty angry about Trip smoking and opening a titty magazine in a church.
I’m tearing laughing. ‘Abra cadabra wanna see a trick ? 😂
I fucking love to think he's looking smug as he opens the door to reveal the trick.
AI stands for “aggressively indignant” with Mr. Mayor
Can't seem to get rid of that Lamp, huh?
He just hasn't found the right bitch to make his future ex-wife yet.😂
It’s his Familiar
He always has one on hand in case someone looks like they could use a fucking lamp.
Three key changes and two different narrative arcs. This is better than almost all pop these days.
It always makes me snort with amusement when Mayor Breslin randomly says "bitch" in the middle a musical interlude
Flute solos are badass! I listen to this song every time I feel some road rage looming. Mayor's singing does the fighting for me!
I'm always amazed how Breslin managed to get a flute solo into every song, and chant bitch along with it! 10/10
insane breath work!
Still waiting on the finished version of "Now I Gotta Set a Titty on Fire."
Aug 9th!
@@ObscurestVinyl Can't wait for it. Epic LP-Studio jam!
Still need full version of Sorry There's No Pussy Left!
Ian Anderson made time in his schedule between Jethro Tull's albums "War Child" and "Minstrel in the Gallery" to perform the flute solos on several tracks of Mayor Breslin's album "Mad as Hell."
People thought that beanie babies got big in the 90's, but mayor Breslin actually started the trend decades earlier with the smash single "Cruisin' for a Contusion"
The real story behind it is the inventor of the beanie baby tried rolling them out in the early 70s, but Mayor Breslin's song turned the public off of them in the year of their debut, so he shelved the idea until he knew it was safe to bring them out again... 20 years later.
@@1nONLY_DRock hell yeah, your's is better for sure!
@@markruffalo8761 It also didn't help that Mayor Breslin promised the inventor of Beanie Babies to personally whup his ass if he ever saw them on a retail shelf again.
Breslin's untimely death via orgy avalanche in '92 was purely coincidental. *LOL*
What a voice. Mayor Breslin is the voice of a generation!
You' d be angry too, with a pierced kidney.
And just when I thought Mayor Breslin was going to sell out and go mainstream, there’s that final chorus to prove me wrong
"You look like you could use a fucking lamp"
Oh my God I see new Mayor Breslin and legitimately pop like omggggg!
That beatdrop 'Bitch' at the beginning sent me.
Mayor Breslin seems to become progressively more violent and unhinged with each song he puts out. This man is starting to scare me 😂
Mayor Breslin’s album is about to hit as hard as he does 😮💨
Man, I was literally a minute away from deciding to go to bed and then the Mayor turned up in my feed.
Mayor Breslin performed his #1 hit Crusin for a Contusion on American Bandstand in January of 1975 most people watching that episode that noticed that he performed with his signature lamp in his left hand and the microphone in his right plus he did a few dance steps during the performance the whearabouts of what happened to the tape of Breslins Bandstand episode rumors are by many that the episode exists in the Dick Clark productions archive vaults and others state that the episode is missing & no one knows where its located......
You can tell how angry the Mayor is by the length of the instrumental section.
One of the best parts of this song is the flute at about 2:43.
OMG YOU CRAZY SOB YOU DID IT!!! YOU CAME THROUGH! maybe I'm biased because you actually made the road rage song, but this is by far the funniest thing you have made yet. You even brought back the flute solo beratement. Seriously a masterpiece man, THANK YOU
Things that don’t apply to Mayor
1. School zone speed limits
2. Construction zone speed limits
3. Car pool lanes
4. Your girls fidelity
Also all legal statutes related to assault
5. Waiting your turn in line at the deli
Crippling hospital debt
He's pissed off in almost every song he sings.
I love it.
I love how no matter the context it’s always the same picture of him 🤣
I so want a mayor breslin album, I’d be first to the music store if we got one 😍😍
Badass flute solo from The Mayor!
I remember when Mayor Breslin was originally commissioned to sing that familiar track in "Shake Hands with Danger", but apparently he had enough of people trying to grab his lamp and got mad
Three Finger Joe.
@@Daniel-Weaver he sure shook hands with danger when trying to grab the lamp. thankfully Mayor Breslin spared his other three fingers and would go on to praise Three Finger Joe's version of the titular song years later.
It's good to hear a Mayor Breslin song with a happy ending
I showed this to my girlfriend and the line 'I just wanted to see what this asshole looks like, he looks like an asshole so I WAS FUCKING RIGHT' reduced us both to hysterics. Love Obscurest Vinyl!
@@lukepeverelle7707 haha that rules! Thank you!
I went to Ticketmaster 8 months ago to snag tickets for The Mayor Breslin Legacy Tour, we’ll be riding 9 hours to Lexington to see the Kentucky stop in October ☺️
I had to pause this multiple times I was laughin so hard. It's been a while since I had a laugh that hard, thank you my guy.
@@LoudLabyrinth ahh man! Thank you! Haha
Mayor Breslin gots the dopest freshest style
2024 and I'm following non existent alternative history artists who's music is made my a robot. The future truly has arrived
Huge supporter of this music. My cat died just last Sunday. His name was Oreo. I'll never forget the iconic moment that this song came out.
Its been helping me out for the last week. So glad to see it get re-released in HD. RIP Oreo ♥️
Bot comment or ironic?
What?
@@TrashQueenAndKing Just a big supporter of obscurests content, also a Patreon supporter, just had my cat die and wanted to honor him ironically.
RIP Oreo
Strange but I got a rescue basset hound last Sunday and renamed him Oreo.
AI or not, mayor breslin makes easily the most relatable music i have ever heard in my entire fucking life
Wow this is really well done - Obscurest Vinyl's Mayor Breslin comes with the best jams. This has been said but I love that he's the voice of our inner rage over simple stupid things that happen. Also speaking as a music producer, the music is amazing! We desperately need a Mayor Breslin album and live band show with a hologram Mayor.
Mayor Breslin inspires me to be more outspoken and face life head on. Another hymn that reminds me that I was simply born in the wrong century
Get angry, get ballsy, and grab a lamp. The Mayor Breslin way! Performed my first roundhouse kick to his song about the delicatessen.
I got a cranial contusion just listening to Mayor beat up this song! 🇨🇦
Nobody writes a chorus like the Mayor. Third banger in a row. Thank you OV
I was conceived during this song.
That's why they call it a banger
This song takes off with the flute solo.
I absolutely love the strong message of this song. Delivered so so passionately as well. The message, as well as strong, is also very simple: Do not make the mayor late lest he do his magic trick. It's a thumbs up and a 5 stars from me.
Glad to hear Jethro tull with the nasty flute solo 🤣
Mayor Breslin is my number one pick for my Meditation sessions.
I'm still upset they cut this song from the Rocky III soundtrack
They cut the entire Rocky vs Mayor Breslin movie after the Mayor put Stallone in hospital for six months on the first take of the first scene. Sly was directing, so obviously the Mayor just threw lamps at him until he was neutralised.
@@jimschofield8734 Conventional wisdom dictates that lamps are the way to go with that guy.
Mayor always had a real problem managing his blood sugar levels. It made him crazy irritable.
His frequent drinking partner Willford Brimley saw this and decided he too, needed to address his diabetus issue before it was too late.....
YESSS, another Mayor Breslin song! I love these ones just for how over the top he is in everything.
I really wish someone can perform mayor Breslin live. I want this so bad!
The best thing about Mayor Breslin is he could have just said Cruisin' for a Bruisin' but he turned that simple phrase into poetry with the word Contusion. Like when he says "I just wanna see what this asshole looks like, he looks like an asshole, so I was fuckin' right". Such beauty in songwriting.
I think you meant slam poetry in every single meaning of the word.
Playing this while at the gym and this is getting me going brother!
An entry from his later career "Cruisin' For a Contusion" came out in 1998 at the height of the Beanie Baby craze. Prior to this, he was considering retirement when he recalled "motherfuckers keep pissing me off" which became the title of this album.
His upcoming hit *Punchout at the Checkout* sure was a smash hit for the time, detailing the time there was a fight over someone with three carts of groceries taking forever near closing time.
There is a guitar lesson for this banger on my channel. Thank you for another great song, Obscurest Vinyl.
Much like mayor Breslin, i'm late.
Is this an AI generated recreation of Mayor Breslin's style??? If so, this nails it. This is exactly how Mayor Breslin was.
Quick, sweet, and violent to the point. Still have a poster of him at my mom's house. Thanks for bringing this man back to life 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Did your mom give you that poster and was it signed? If so, I have an idea of how this came to be.
They definitely need to make a music video with an animated Samuel L Jackson goin on a road rage in like LA traffic with a beat up car in front of him with beanie babies in the back, and maybe a nerd drivin with a hot gold digger in passenger seat that goes to his car and shows the car rocking with a middle finger out the window to her trick ( the nerd ).... that would be so epic! 😂
the champ with lamp with another Banger about anger
I hope some of these make it to physical media. I’d love a CD or vinyl
Mayor Breslin including Beanie Babies in the lyrics before they were even invented is the most visionary epic thing ever!
Once again, Mayor Breslin proves why he’s the voice of a generation by giving life to all of our inner thoughts.
Someday I hope to hear his fishing epic again, the one that rivaled Melville’s Moby Dick: Slammin’ by the Salmon
Mayor Breslin 2024!
Breslin with yet another anger banger.
that fucking lamp lmao
Mayor signed my lamp after a show in detroit he did with rod munch in 1983 . What a legend
