About "The Death Of Mr. Ping Pong" by Was (Not Was)
The Death of Mr. Ping Pong is a strange, art-funk elegy. Was (Not Was) turn a table tennis champion's demise into a surreal meditation on mortality, complete with angular rhythms and deadpan delivery. The emotional tug is between absurdity and genuine griefβa wake held in a rec room, where the ball never stops bouncing.
