Liam Lynch made it up on the spot. "United States of Whatever", the American musician's 2002 single, is a comedy-rock blurt in which Lynch waves off one person after another with a bored, snotty "whatever", a slacker shrug blown up into a full-throated tantrum.
Reviewers mostly got the joke, praising the humor and the way it sized up American youth, and it went top ten in both Australia and the UK, where until 2007 no shorter song had made the chart. It spawned a run of parodies, and Lynch has since performed it with Tony Kanal and Adrian Young, and with Foo Fighters.
