5 Chinese Brothers

5 Chinese Brothers was a folk-rock band formed in New York City in the late 1980s. The band's lineup included Paul Foglino, Tom Meltzer, Joe Martin, and two non-Chinese members. They were known for their witty and literate songwriting, often with a humorous or ironic edge. The band released several albums during their active years, and their music drew influences from folk, rock, and Americana genres. While they didn't achieve mainstream success, 5 Chinese Brothers had a dedicated following in the indie and folk music scenes. more »

Well, I love Cubism, it's my favorite style 
When I see a Cubist painting I've just got to smile 
But there's one painter, I'm his biggest fan 
He's the father of Cubism and his name's Cezanne, Cezanne 
Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism 
Some people say that it was Picasso 
Other people claim it was DeChirico 
Some people think it was Modiglian(i) 
But they're all crazy, it was Paul Cezanne, Cezanne 
Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism 
When Paul Cezanne sat down to paint a flower or a face 
He had to solve one problem, three-dimensional space 
He said, "Form is content." He smoked a Gitanne. 
He was right. Now he's Paul Cezanne, Cezanne 
Cezanne, Cezanne, le père de Cubisme 
Well Cezanne's father wanted him to be an avocat 
But Paul just looked at him and said, "Pfff, mais non, pa. 
I want to be a painter, I know I can!" 
Now his oeuvre's in the Louvre, he's Paul Cezanne, Cezanne 
Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism 
Well I had an aunt and she was in a coma 
So we loaded up her bed and we took her up to MoMA 
We got through the door, you wouldn't believe what began 
She sat up and started screaming, "Hey, where is that Paul Cezanne?" 
Cezanne, Cezanne, the miraculous father of Cubism 
Paul Cezanne is famous now and I think that's really nice 
'Cause his melons look like footballs and his apples look like dice 
So all you would-be painters, get out your brush and can 
You may be the next Paul Cezanne, Cezanne 
Cezanne, Cezanne, the father of Cubism 
Cezanne, Cezanne, the original father of Cubism
