At least they got Rob The Prez-O-Dent into Rockband 2. That song was my very first introduction to THD, and was one of my favorite songs as a kid. I think I remember Charlie's Inferno also being in the store. Underrated for sure; and definitely deserves their inclusion in video games to keep them from going unnoticed from newer generations.
I'm glad they are underrated. We get the pleasure all to ourselves. I wish I could meet them. Before my brother passed THD and modest mouse were are go to for years. We use to listen to the whole discog for them. Jamming to every last song. I miss you my brother. More than you'll ever know
Oh my god I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry I spoiled the ending I really hope it didn't ruin the twist of him wearing shorts instead of pants. I'll be more careful in the future 😔
Charlies inferno was my introduction to these guys and this song is just at my second favorites all around! It's so catchy and I just love the lyrics! It's such a fun song to sing along to and the man has such a fun vibe. Loving what the entire gang is doing✨
@@dr.fleischkanu8200 its almost like simplistic lyrics can contribute to the greater narrative / purpose of a song rather than diluting it by throwing out every random synonym you can find
Guess what? It’s been 3 more years and if you’ve forgotten about it I have summoned you through notifications, unless your dead, it would suck if your dead
I'm not sure how I came across this song, it was in my music library. At first I liked the creativity and uniqueness of his voice,not paying much attention to the lyrics.. But watching this and now reading the lyrics, holy shit they're on point with today's society. Wow.
The lyrics basically talk about how people nowadays are addicted to spending hoping that the next thing they buy will fix their meaningless existence. Therefore they are savages.
I listened to the song first and tried to imagine his face, this wasnt what i imagined Edit: just to clarify, no i dont thik he looks bad, hes quite handsome, i just wasnt expecting his apperance and had another look i mind. Fuck ur beauty standards, hes rad.
I just found this band today thanks to the Google algorithm. Usually I end up starting into the abyss with the GA, but, this time, GA, you did a good. *head pats*
I can't believe you guys aren't more popular. I discovered THD about a year ago and you've quickly skyrocketted to the top of my list up there with Aurelio Voltaire for artists whose music I can listen to over and over.
I have no idea where all you new people are coming from... ... welcome, I guess? 👋 GFB is one of my favorite lyricists and the whole THD sound is solid as fuck. These guys deserve to blow up. Share their music, guys. People need to know about 'em.
I saw "rob the prez-o-dent" in my favourites scrolling through today, hadn't heard it in years. Decided this was the day I look up more songs. I'm not disappointed!

Inviting these guys to play shows in KC and Lawrence and stay with us was peak fanboy moment for me and the boys. You guys rock. And yeah we still have stars in the sky out here.
I love this band for how well they criticize hippy liberalism without sounding alienating and especially without falling into the right-wing mentality.
I love this. The instinct of Americans to look either for something to purchase or something to smoke (both materialistic) to cure their depression and anxiety, when what they need is for someone to show them true love and affection. The use of different symbols of currency and the @ sign (obsession with social media) is genius, also showing what Americans are obsessed with.
i really like the "aeugh" sounding voice he does sometimes like in 1:46 it's relly unique and unlike other weird voices it doesn't stand out enough to take attention from the song itself

I came upon one of this guy's songs when i was listening to a playlist recently (Charlie's inferno) And then proceeded to listen to every song of his i found available I LOVE his music, from the voice the lyrics the melodies I only discovered his songs recently but he has grown to be one of my favourite artists ever It's the first time i watch a clip of his songs...and somehow i had in mind that the clips would be animated or maybe a mix between animation and regular video (Idk i feel like the gorillaz like clips suits his music very well I would love to see people animate to his music) I hope more people get to know him and his music cause he is very Underrated !
The song describes the modern society and its relationship with consumerism, social media, and the constant need for instant gratification. The lyrics use satire and irony to criticize the superficiality of contemporary culture and highlight the emptiness that can result from it. The first verse describes the narrator ordering a pumpkin spice frappuccino and scrolling through pictures of people they don't like on social media. They feel at war with every species and seek comfort through high-fives and free Wi-Fi. The chorus repeats the phrase "At war with ratios and averages, government establishments, coloring and additives, savages," which implies that modern society is in conflict with the very systems and institutions that sustain it. The second verse finds the narrator searching for something to buy to make them feel better and asking someone to sell them something. They are numb and feel nothing from the junk their heart is pumping. The lyrics suggest that consumerism and material possessions cannot fulfill the deeper needs of human beings. The bridge of the song states, "I don't understand, we were holding hands and stretching in our yoga pants, recycling our soda cans, voting, giving hope a chance." The narrator seems to be expressing confusion and disappointment that the positive actions of individuals can be overwhelmed by the negative influences of society as a whole. Overall, "Savages" is a critique of contemporary culture and consumerism, pointing out the contradictions and superficiality that can result from a focus on material possessions and instant gratification.
