"Hailing from up-state New York, this was Chicago-based Nice Peter's U.K. debut, kicking off a tour extending from darkest Barrow to deepest Devon. He specializes in a uniquely infectious brand of intelligent yet refreshingly scatological comic observation, accompanying himself with some proficient guitar-work that takes in a range of blues-rock styles. Be clear - Nice Peter is a skilled musician and lyricist first and-foremost - this is no stand-up comic hawking round a battered acoustic for laffs. The delivery is first-class, the content consistently forthright and devastatingly hilarious. Subject matter ranges from Peter's clearly autobiographical experiences as a (tru) Chicago gangster and LA porn star, to the tribulations of getting laid under a totalitarian fundamentalist government. Nice Peter's set was exhilaratingly funny and enthusiastically received - my personal highlight being perhaps the funniest opening line to any song ever - the simply peerless "I shaved my balls today..." And the good news is, Nice Peter is planning a return tour, provided enough folks buy a CD or two first."

Bald Guy
Nice Peter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looked into the mirror, and comfirmed my suspicion, I'm losing my hair.
I thought about labishahaha, but having just one ball really freaks me out, I went down to Boswell institute, The sales told me it's only as much as a call to get a transplant.
With only 3 weeks of head scabs, that's not for me.
NO, if it's balding I am then it's a bald guy I'm gonna be!
I know I'm not alone, every room I go to some dude knows how I feel, it's just hair! (hair).
If virtruvian were bald we wouldn't have that shit anywhere!
I've gotta few years to go, before it really starts to show.
Bruce Willis is fucking hot!
And Captain Picard is generally regarded as sexy. (I look just like that dude from snatch)
If I just start working out, and buy some clothes I'll be so cool...
Oh no so I'm a bald guy! (Bald guy) I'm gonna be a bald guy (bald guy) Gonna be a bald guy some day
The lyrics of "Bald Guy" by Nice Peter address the singer's fear of losing their hair, and their realization that they are indeed balding. The song humorously touches on the singer's journey to accepting their baldness, including his consideration of labishahaha (a reference to a testicular cancer surgery which removes one testicle) and his visit to the Boswell institute where he contemplates getting a hair transplant. However, after weighing the pros and cons including the three weeks of head scabs, the singer ultimately decides that if he is going bald, he might as well embrace it and be a bald guy.
Despite initially feeling alone in his balding experience, the singer acknowledges that he is not the only one and that it is a common experience. He even mentions how people like Bruce Willis and Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart's character in Star Trek) are often considered attractive despite being bald. The lyrics also note the singer's belief that if the famous figure in Leonardo da Vinci's "The Vitruvian Man" were bald, it would not have impacted the image's popularity.
Overall, the song reflects on the singer's journey to accept his changing appearance, and his realization that baldness does not make him any less cool or attractive.

"I can't change the way I look, but I can change the way I look at it" that was so beautiful
@noahrose2132
ripb1b He is a very insightful person with his songs... like the Sunflower Song.
@cassandrine
It was, but not true at all. You absolutely can change the way you look if genuinely want to.
@nicepeter
lol. I'm confused too. I think I just made too many different pots to keep stirring, but hopefully the soup is good.
@nicepeter
I got pretty sad and frustrated about it first, those kind of feelings suck, but they make good fuel for songs or other creative shit if you just let them burn up.
