Steeeeeeve Albiiiiiiiniiiiiii
August 18, 2011 10:37 AM

Long shot: Every time I hear Steve Albini's name, I think "Steeeeeeeeve Albiiiiiiiniiiiiiii!" I know it is from something. Does anybody know what?

It's a male voice, somewhat awestruck or perhaps totally deadpan. I do not remember if the clip is from some album, video, movie, or TV show.

Basically, I got nothing but "Steeeeeeeeeeve Albiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiii!"

This is killing me. Friends are stumped.

Wesley Willis' "Steve Albini", perhaps?

Huh. I even googled "Steve Albini Wesley Willis" and nothing came up. I sincerely remember it being more even-toned and less-sung. Like a monotone. But that could very well be it!

There are two versions of Steve Albini that Wesley did, so it's got to be one of them.

There is a moment in the Great Plains song "Letter to a Fanzine" where the lead singer says, "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Albiiiiiniiiiii!" But no "Steve".

Here's the song, the "Mr. Albini" is about 2/3rds of the way through it.
