Los Angeles-based genre-melder Max Vanderwolf returns with a ferocious new single, F*ckwitt McGee, the fourth release in his ongoing 2025 Singles Club. Part philosophical satire, part musical experiment, this track is a wild, unfiltered burst of rhythmic wit and that will make you dance, laugh, and wince in equal measure.
From the very first beat, F*ckwitt McGee explodes with a percussive energy that borders on manic. Driven by a frenzied merengue drum pattern, the song barrels forward with a gleeful recklessness, reflecting the chaotic persona of its title character.
Vanderwolf builds on this foundation with twitchy guitar lines, vintage keyboard textures, and a propulsive bass—each part adding to the madness with surgical precision.
But it’s the kazoo solo—yes, kazoo—that truly defines this track. Delivered by Vanderwolf himself, it’s absurd, unexpected,and somehow completely brilliant. Like the character it’s named for, it shouldn’t work. And yet, it does.

Lyrically, Vanderwolf is at his sharpest. F*ckwitt McGee is a biting portrait of a well-meaning but dangerously oblivious figure—a “universal man” who trips through life, trampling over people, cities, and civilizations with cheerful incompetence. Whether he’s locking his keys in the car or accidentally launching nuclear missiles, McGee’s trail of destruction is as tragic as it is comical.
“Living in the UK,” Vanderwolf explains, “you quickly learn all the wonderfully disparaging terms: ‘chancer’, ‘wanker’, ‘knob’…and of course ‘fuckwitt’.” The name “McGee” comes from Kris Kristofferson’s “Bobby McGee,” adding an ironic Americana twist to this British-flavored roast.
Born in New York City, shaped by London’s underground, and now residing in L.A., Vanderwolf’s life reads like a music-world epic. From fronting the cult-favorite Last Man Standing to producing concerts for David Bowie and Patti Smith, he’s spent decades crafting and curating remarkable sound.
With F*ckwitt McGee, Vanderwolf steps back into the spotlight—not with a whisper, but with a scream, a smirk, and a kazoo.
This single isn’t just a song; it’s a riotous reminder that genius and foolishness often share the same stage. Vanderwolf invites us to recognize the McGee in all of us and laugh before we walk into another wall.
