I was talking to some girl last week and she said "I can ride my bike with no handle bars." To which I responded "Yeah? Well, I can split the atom of a molecule. Wait...that's not right. That doesn't make any sense." It was right. But it also doesn't make any sense. Then she went and played with some other guy's weiner. Thanks a lot, Flobots.
They've been playing this on Ethel on XM for the past month and at first I thought it was good, but at the end when he is yelling it sounds like he recorded the song on his Packard Bell or something. Also, the crowd cheering sound effect is awful.
Ive known these guys since November. Pretty good when they were local here in Colorado and somehow they lost their magic when they made it nation wide.
I am hiping that all the people whoa re digging this are 16 year olds who think fight club is revolutionary and v for vendetta is the best film ever. This sucks. Oh and on Universal Music? Wayyyy revolutionary. Of course they can ride a bike with no handle bars, theyll pay for someone else to do it. ***** lame.
great. Starting to go mainstream...now all the little emo groupies are going adore them and ***** up another great band. Hopefully since they rap and don't sound depressing it deters them for awhile.
I liked the song until i found out they are worthless socialist assholes. 90% of the song is sarcastic and critical of capitalism, the exact reason why they are popular. Unless someone can show me that government controlled markets and not the free market of youtube, radio, bars and privately owned venues made them popular?
Henry hazlits economics in one lesson. Takes 2 hours to read and after your done you realize you had no idea what you were talking about previously.
"this song sounds very familiar but i know i've not heard it before
what does it remind me of?"
Its an Eminem song. They bit the entire cadence of an Eminem song but I can't remember which one because he sucks too (I think its the song with Dr. Dre). I cannot believe you guys like this *****...give me the Roots, or some real hip hop. This is atrocious.
Hah. They almost remind me of Rehab...but nowhere near as good. Graffiti The World blows the socks off Handlebars.
(Song) http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=vWdpi2yAK2s lot more meaning, better beat, better rapper.
Just listened to "Stand Up" by Flobots as the recommendation..far better song. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=L8xTOadn1n0 try to tell me that song isn't better than this one :-P
I can't wait to see them on the 31st in Milwaukee. My favorite radio station has been giving away tickets for it like crazy and have been playing this song for the last month or so. Independent radio FTW
