I'd buy a 7 inch of this song.

Hadn't listened to Gigaton for a few months before last night while All in WA has been in regular rotation, and the album version just felt kinda flat. Got me looking forward to actual live performances.


Well, maybe. Still the studio version is so fucking good. I have been blasting this one on my Beats and fuuuck its good.

Yeah, im also looking forward to this one live. Hopefully with a more longer outro.

True enough, studio cut is the business; just different to the live energy. And jams and variations are another reason to look forward to shows.

Could Dance of the Clairvoyants be the newer, groovier 'do-de-do-do' à la Black? :P

I love this song. I really love it. But can we acknowledge that

I know the girls wanna dance
Away their circumstance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things

Are some of the worst lyrics in the entire catalog? I'm legit second-hand embarrassed by them.

I think that lyric is good.

It's no Buckle Up.

Agreed on the lyric.

It's bad, but it's better than "I'm in love with clairvoyants because they're out of this world"

I'm not about to call any lyrics on Gigaton "awful" when Supersonic exists

I absolutely will not agree to that. What makes these lyrics bad? An expectation of decorum coming from a weirdly prudish place? These lyrics are clever in typical EV fashion. Maybe you just don't like the word "dick."

I'm pretty sure he's said the same thing about "I'll never suck Satan's dick!" in Satan's Bed.

Why would someone be embarrassed by something another person wrote? That makes no sense to me at all.

Feeling ashamed for the actions of others is a perfectly normal human emotion

It has a long durability factor going for it for sure. I can't wait to hear it live based off listening to it on the boots.
