History YMMV / WesleyWillis

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: The song "Kill Whitey" is about... a guy named Whitey who Wesley didn't like.

* SignatureSong: "Rock N' Roll [=McDonald=]'s", primarily because of it being used in ''Film/SuperSizeMe'' leading to RevivalByCommercializatiom.

* TheWoobie: Some of his more downtempo songs about his condition can elicit this response, like "Chronic Schizophrenia", "They Threw Me Out of Church," and especially "Outburst."

* AdaptationDisplacement: His song "Retard Bus" is more well known than the obscure punk band it is about. [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Neither the exact name spelling of the band is known, since lyric sources differ.]]

** One of his better-known songs is "Rock N' Roll UsefulNotes/McDonalds" - people outside of Chicago may be surprised that [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_N_Roll_McDonald%27s such a place actually existed.]]

* DancingBear: Some of his detractors label him as such -- sometimes to the point of claiming that he exaggerated his schizophrenia. Even some of his fans love him for being a DancingBear.

* SoBadItsGood: Took this to an art form.
* {{Squick}}: The bestiality songs. The things we do to battle the voices in our heads.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Not just the song content, but the level of StrictlyFormula is taken UpToEleven making something that otherwise would be a fault something he's praised for. Every song is nearly 2:50 after hearing that it was ideal length, follows the exact same pattern of verse, chorus (line repeated 4-6x), verse, chorus again, instrumental interlude for about a minute and a half, verse, chorus, "Rock over London, rock on Chicago" and an advertisement slogan. Many pre-programmed rhythm settings were reused quite a few times with a similar tempo.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: He was a master of comedic timing in his lyrics, with the verses of numerous songs telling stories in vivid detail, followed by a punchline. This is made remarkable by the fact that he always gave short, simplistic answers in interviews.

* EarWorm: His songs are so mercilessly repetitive in formula and the {{Title Only Chorus}}es that it's almost guaranteed that one or two of them will worm their way into your head somehow.
