Steel Panther have released an inspired lyrical take on the controversy surrounding the Grammys with a video explaining their thoughts on artistry - and urge Beck to 'kick Kanye West in the nuts'.
The comedy metal outfit, best known for such gems as 'Gloryhole' and 'Gangbang At The Old Folks' Home', have released a short video damning West's interruption of Beck at last week's Grammy Awards.
The video, which can be watched below, features the band Michael Starr singing lines like “Beck should kick you in the nuts with steel-toed boots to make it right” and “Beck’s music is some weird stuff / But you sound like a donkey fart.”

Having drawn considerable criticism for his remarks on the night, West recently clarified his opinion that "Beck needs to respect artistry and he should've given his award to Beyonce." In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, West explained: “It was kind of a joke – like the Grammys themselves,” he said. He went on to say that he wanted to "just joke around" with his previous interruption of Taylor Swift at the 2009 Video Music Awards. “So, the voices in my head told me go, and then I just walked up, like, halfway up the stage ... But I just didn’t really want to take away from Beck’s moment, or the time he’s having to talk.”
Beck also addressed the question of 'artistry'. "You can't please everybody, man," he replied when queried about Kanye. "I still love him and think he's genius. I aspire to do what he does."
