from the TV series finale of Aqua Teen Hunger Force (2015) The elegy is one of the most sanctified forms of poetry or song, lamenting on death since the days of the ancient greeks. In the world of western music, there is perhaps no artist more qualified to deliver an elegy than Patti Smith. Last night, she delivered a musical elegy at the close of the series finale for the Adult Swim cartoon series Aqua Teen Hunger Force .  What a brilliant way to go! In a deadpan style, Patti Smith sings: I never dreamed I'd be an Aqua Teen Thirteen seasons What did it mean? A Master Shake Meatwad, a floating head And now you're dead And it's the end of Aqua Teen Hunger Force It's the end of Aqua Teen Hunger Force So, grab a Kleenex and have a listen.
