Now it’s stuck in your head.

lol I basically made the same comment. I knew it probably wasn’t really “funk so rubber,” as that makes no sense. But that’s what it always sounded like!

Of course, “funk soul brother,” makes about the same amount of sense.

That's okay...it was only about a year ago I learned that Alanis Morrissette wasn't singing about being given a "Cross-Eyed Bear" in You Oughta Know

fubo@reddit

They Might Be Giants do have a cross-eyed bear in "Hide Away Folk Family" though. And his shoes are laced with irony.

"It's not fair to deny me...

of the cross I bear that you gave to me..."

Yeah, I was shocked as shit.

Is that what he was saying?

It always sounded like “funk so rubber” to me. Never made sense, but I never cared enough to look it up.

Something about The Toys Go Winding Down by Primus clicked in my head yesterday, as does happen with songs, and now my brain won't turn it off. I just hear the three bass plucks in repetition. Over and over.

And TIL what the actual lyrics are. In my 40s.

In my head, this entire time, I thought it was "Check it out now, the song's so bravo, right about now."

In my defense I have a genetic hearing loss so song lyrics are often difficult, but I honestly thought that was what they were saying, so I never bothered to look it up. And no, it makes no sense, and yes, I'm a dumbass lol

I remember buying Better Living Through Chemistry soon after the first video hit, and my friends thought I'd lost my damn mind.

Slim's a whole vibe. They just weren't ready for him, yet.

I was 16 and went up to Subway to meet my friend who worked there and he took me out to his car to get high and play “Everybody Needs a 303”.

This is a demonstration why the human brain is increíble. Just by seeing some lyrics written on a page, it interpreted the language, retrieved the memory of the tune of the song, memories of the artist/song name, memories you may have about it, nostalgia over it, and probably many more things, all likely under 1 second.

Such a good album. Got me into Chemical Brothers. Before Fatboy only ones I liked was some Aphex Twin and Orbital.

There was 1 song I can never remember the name of...

It had a clip of Walking on the Moon one day almost like he was an astronaut... Can never remember who or what name is... Anyone remember that?

Significant_Dog412@reddit

I do really like it, but I also can't listen without picturing Dylan Moran's takedown of the song. For a partial quote,

"And it went, erm, "Funk soul brother... right about now... yeah... it's the, it's the funk soul brother... check it out. It's, er, well... it's the funk soul brother, essentially. He's, er, he's coming. He's coming at you. It's the... well... it's the funk soul brother." And after a while, I began to penetrate the meaning of this song, you know? I gathered that somebody was about to arrive, and everybody else was terribly excited—maybe he was bringing cake, or something, they didn't say—but the thing was, you see, he wasn't there yet. Ha ha, that was the hook!"
