Awesome Car Funmaker was a spastic, energetic, crazy, party glam rock band from Madison, Wisconsin. Formed in June 2003, the four piece played three hundred something shows to countless fans.
ACF put on a theatrical show that consists of choreographed kicks, gallops, and jumping jacks. Guitars flinging and keytars slinging. Lots of running, falling down, smiling, and excitement. All of this combined with snappy, catchy tunes made for a memorable live experience.
The name is a joke that went too far, derived from the first time the band members all met, and nobody was allowed to leave the restaurant before a name was decided upon.
The band called it quits in February 2009, after being together for 6 years and releasing 3 albums.

prayer and cancer, color and paints
war and nations, people fight, follow cues
war and nations, people die, win and lose
natural disasters, natural highs
the natural answer is a natural lie
war and nations people fight follow cues,
war and nations people die, win and lose
everybody knows that it's natural,
you gotta compromise just to pay the bill
everybody knows that it's natural
and we're all just natural suckers
everybody knows it's just fear that grows
and grows and grows like a bomb in your
fist that explodes
so what is natural, what is natural
so what is natural, what is natural
natural dancer
so what is natural, what is natural
The lyrics to Awesome Car Funmaker's song "Natural" speak to the contradictions and complexities of human nature. The song begins with a series of opposing forces - isms and answers, heathens and saints, prayer and cancer, color and paints - which suggests that there is no clear answer or easy solution to the problems we face in life. The lines "war and nations, people fight, follow cues / war and nations, people die, win and lose" further emphasize this point, suggesting that even in the most dire situations, people are still following cues and trying to win, even if ultimately they lose.
The chorus of the song continues this theme, suggesting that compromise is necessary in order to survive and thrive in the natural world. The lines "everybody knows that it's natural, / you gotta compromise just to pay the bill" emphasize the idea that we are all just trying to get by, and that sometimes we have to compromise our ideals or values in order to do so. The song ends with the repeated question "so what is natural, what is natural / natural dancer," suggesting that there may not be a clear answer, but that perhaps we can find some sort of peace or solace in just dancing and being ourselves.
Overall, the lyrics to "Natural" offer a nuanced and thoughtful exploration of the contradictions and complexities of the human experience.
