No Handlebars

The first impression is, of course, that this guy can't really sing very well and it sounds very amateur. Listen to it anyway. I heard this song for the first time today, and I must say, it has a great message. It's basically about how people in power, and humans as a whole, basically, have the power and capabilities to do really good things, but do bad things with that power instead. The song has great lyrics and a catchy tune, and even though the guy sounds incredibly amateur, I can't sing any better so I can't complain. |
Just listened to it once -- I like it. I think I'm going to have to listen to it at least one more time to mull over what it means.

They also have other music you can find on Youtube, just search for "Flobots." I haven't had a chance to listen to any of their other music yet, so I can't say whether or not it is any good.

I don't like stuff that portrays a sad picture. Just makes me think about how superior we always say we are and how wrong it is.
|
The truth hurts eh?

Good find K_A.
Here's the lyrics: I can ride my bike with no handlebars No handlebars No handlebars I can ride my bike with no handlebars No handlebars No handlebars Look at me, look at me hands in the air like it's good to be ALIVE and I'm a famous rapper even when the paths're all crookedy I can show you how to do-si-do I can show you how to scratch a record I can take apart the remote control And I can almost put it back together I can tie a knot in a cherry stem I can tell you about Leif Ericson I know all the words to "De Colores" And "I'm Proud to be an American" Me and my friend saw a platypus Me and my friend made a comic book And guess how long it took I can do anything that I want cuz, look: I can keep rhythm with no metronome No metronome No metronome And I can see your face on the telephone On the telephone On the telephone Look at me Look at me Just called to say that it's good to be ALIVE In such a small world I'm all curled up with a book to read I can make money open up a thrift store I can make a living off a magazine I can design an engine sixty four Miles to a gallon of gasoline I can make new antibiotics I can make computers survive aquatic conditions I know how to run a business I can make you wanna buy a product Movers shakers and producers Me and my friends understand the future I see the strings that control the systems I can do anything with no assistance Cuz I can lead a nation with a microphone With a microphone With a microphone And I can split the atoms of a molecule Of a molecule Of a molecule Look at me Look at me Driving and I won't stop And it feels so good to be Alive and on top My reach is global My tower secure My cause is noble My power is pure I can hand out a million vaccinations Or let'em all die from exasperation Have'em all healed from their lacerations Have'em all killed by assassination I can make anybody go to prison Just because I don't like'em and I can do anything with no permission I have it all under my command Because I can guide a missile by satellite By satellite By satellite And I can hit a target through a telescope Through a telescope Through a telescope And I can end the planet in a holocaust In a holocaust In a holocaust In a holocaust In a holocaust In a holocaust I can ride my bike with no handlebars No handlebars No handlebars I can ride my bike with no handlebars No handlebars No handlebars |
Heard that song a week and a half ago and immediately put it on my iPod.
|
Heard this the other morning, on the radio actually. Loved the wit and message. Thanks for reminding me.
|
Deja vu, or this was already posted. Ugh.
|
They have been playing this like crazy on Live 105 here in the Bay. Cool song. I really like it.
|
Erm, it's okay. Nothing magnificent though.
|
This song has really grown on me over the years.
