Wolfie's Just Fine (b.k.a. comedian Jon Lajoie) releases new single "Hulk Hogan Slammed Andre The Giant"
Wolfie's Just Fine, which is the musical project of comedian Jon Lajoie, has unveiled a new single from their forthcoming studio album Everyone Is Dead Except Us today.
"Hulk Hogan Slammed Andre The Giant" dives into the iconic match from WrestleMania III through the eyes of a young Lajoie. An official music video, which can be seen below, was co-directed by Justin Slade McClain & Lajoie. The singer said this about the song/video:
“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.”
Everyone Is Dead Except Us will be released on June 16th via Normal Guy Records. Album pre-saves can be made here.
