Goodiepal or Gæoudjiparl van den Dobbelsteen, whose real name is Parl Kristian Bjørn Vester, is a controversial Danish/Faroese musician/composer. Goodiepal's work often involves lectures and performances on the future of computer music, his own compositional practices and resonance computing. His tours have included 150 universities internationally. From 2004 till 2008 he was the head of the electronic music department and a teacher at DIEM (Danish Institute for Electro-acoustic Music) at the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus, Denmark. He is the author of two books, Radical Computer Music & Fantastisk Mediemanipulation and El Camino Del Hardcore - Rejsen Til Nordens Indre.
Goodiepal is also known for travelling over very long distances using only his home-made cabin bike Kommunal Klon Komputer 2 that, with the help of a top-of-the-line dynamo system, could provide all the electric power needed for the equipment he used during a concert (which often involves playing back and recording from his audio recorder).
Who killed the eskimos
Who understood the rules of happiness?
One step up the hedonic treadmill
One slip back on the ugly snakeskin
Who raped the great banana
Growing on the tree of happiness?
One point for the dark Satanic mills
One up on the noble savage
Everything we need is here
Stop trying to succeed
One point for the dark Satanic mills
One down for the noble savage
Who owns the pop machine
The polyester seed?
Who owns the pepper mills that
Spice up the prickly cabbage?
Down by the willow tree I joined you where you fell
You said, staring at the sky, I never knew it was that
high
Don't know you very well, you're just another girl
Never mind, you stupid cow, I wish you hadn't said that
Down by the willow tree
There's nothing that could make me happier
One step up the hedonic treadmill
One slip back on the ugly snakeskin
Stop trying to succeed
Stop running round your human hamster wheel
One point for the dark Satanic mills
One up on the noble savage
Who drank the pussy milk
Who bunged the chalk in the frigid buttercup?
One step up the hedonic treadmill
One slip back on the ugly snakeskin
Just exactly how long
Do we have to wait for the trees
To chop the Nazi axes up?
And help the frigid buttercup
Weep me and I'll weep you back
The willow seemed to say
Swing with the Goodiepal
Race Pat Pat off the rocks
Down by the willow tree I joined you where you fell
You said, staring at the sky, I never knew it was that
high
Don't know you very well, you're just another girl
Never mind, you stupid cow, I wish you hadn't said that
Down by the willow tree I joined you where you fell
You said, staring at the sky, I never knew it was that
high
Don't know you very well, you're just another girl
Never mind, you stupid cow, I wish you hadn't said that
Down by the willow tree I joined you where you fell
You said, staring at the sky, I never knew it was that
high
Don't know you very well, you're just another girl
Never mind, you stupid cow, I wish you hadn't said that
Down by the willow tree I joined you where you fell
You said, staring at the sky, I never knew it was that
high
Don't know you very well, you're just another girl
Never mind, you stupid cow, I wish you hadn't said that
