The Jackass-Penguin Show

Exploring the musical liminal space between pigs and s**t

The Jackass-Penguin Show (active 2005-2025) created the AI-free bop YOU (STILL) SMELL LIKE POO and the semi-AI certified banger PIG RAIN IN THE DESERT. Many of the Jackass-Penguin Show’s instrumental tunes combined succinct quirky jazziness, catchy melodies, inventive harmonic ideas, with elements of MISANTHROPIC EASY-LISTENING™, zoological funk, and pesky '80s tv themes. @jackasspenguinshow on TikTok, jackasspenguinshow on YouTube
