Wrote this guitar riff. It sounded vaguely like an old school Radiohead song to me, so wrote the song around that.
In the year of our lord, 2000
The music was astounding
Tom, Johnny, Eddie, Colin and Phil
On top of the hill
Nobody did it better,
Alt trendsetters
It got weird
Beeps and boops
Drum machines
Feedback loops
Mournful themes
Baby had the bends, oh yes
Everything was a mess
And then computer,
And the kid
So weird
Beeps and boops, drum machines
Feedback loops, conscious streams
So weird

They were astounding, for sure. But I have a lot of respect for a band who could have become their generation's Pink Floyd (indeed, it felt like they were on the cusp of doing so), but rejected the idea outright and chose a different path. A weird path. WIth bleeps and thunderous guitars, that this captures *perfectly*. Great fun.

I enjoy anything that is quirky bit from the heart. This is. Clever lyrics. Theme that matters ( to you) and a bit of fun! What’s not to like ?
The putto is awesome -

This is so cool and weird. I love your own beeps and boops and the David Byrne-esque "It got weird" chorus. Nice work!

Ha! Fun song. I know how you feel. Do you ever think something is weird and then 10 years later hear it for the 100th time on the radio and suddenly you get it? Its called getting old. Thx!
