This is kind of a different post, since its not really current news other than the following list has been updated. But I think it’s an interesting enough topic that not everyone might know about, so I figured it was worthy.

This thread was originally created by johnrapp and showed the songs that Andrew W.K. has registered at BMI. Since then the list has been updated, so I thought it would be interesting to review and organize these tracks. Years ago A LOT of these songs were still a mystery. However, many have now been solved with new album releases and minor adjustments to track names. Andrew W.K. specifically referred to this in a chat he did with some fans. He said:

QUESTION #3

Indiana wrote:

Andrew, there was a thing that popped up about all of the songs you had registered in your name. The BMI number on each song corresponded with when you released them. There were songs like Can’t Break Life, Don’t Ever Stop The Love, I’m Going To Take The World Out, It’s Going To Be Hard, Just Build It Up, Learning To Live, Rule It, There’s Only One Woman, and You Don’t Understand, all of which you have never released. In fact, I don’t think we’ve ever heard anything about these songs. What ever happened to them? Do you plan on ever releasing them or are they designated to the scrap heap?

ANSWER #3

Thanks for asking about this, Indiana!

Of the songs you listed, some turned into other songs, but were already entered into BMI and Universal Music Publishing. For example, Don’t Ever Stop The Love became Don’t Ever Stop The Song (which had been previously recorded and released as Don’t Ever Stop The Noise. There’s Only One Woman became One Brother

Other songs are actually still in the works, and I’m hoping we’re able to release them on the upcoming MOTHER OF MANKIND album.

Love, Andrew
