Feels like not spelling the name Swiipe Riight was a missed opportunity.

^ well upon getting further into song in OP that video is not like it at all. anyway i take any opportunity to post that vid

global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 21:00 (eight years ago) link

I can't get over that Childish Gambino lyric. It may be the dumbest thing ever written.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 21:44 (eight years ago) link

WAKE UP PEOPLE! This is clearly a joke.

jonaknowles, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 00:28 (eight years ago) link

WAKE UP SHEEPLE, jonaknowles says this song is a joke!

The Swype Right track reminds me of 'Gary & Melissa' by King Missle.

earlnash, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 00:47 (eight years ago) link

It's a joke on the people that watched the whole video and couldn't come up with anything clever or funny to post. So I think OP should take 50% of the blame. And now I also blame myself and everybody else.

The Once-ler, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 00:50 (eight years ago) link

by the time it had gotten to that point i had expected no shortage of very cringeworthy lines and yet the childish gambino one still managed to shock upon arrival

dyl, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 01:36 (eight years ago) link

Oddly enough, I'd expect that exact same lyric from an actual Childish Gambino track.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 01:39 (eight years ago) link

lol

dyl, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 01:42 (eight years ago) link

seems like they're taking cues from Yoni Wolf's self-deprecating emo-sleazeball persona, while completely missing everything that is actually appealing about his music

Ha! Not only that, but they blanked their Instagram and Facebook pages.

We killed a problem band before it got out of hand. We need to use this power for good.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 02:02 (eight years ago) link

damn looks like I got to this thread just in time

Fucking bullies. How dare you all. How dare you.

Snark is poison and it's smothering our babies in their cribs.

These young people were just trying to express themselves and you all just wore hate graffiti on their locker.

Lame-ass jocks. Too afraid of anything beautiful.

RIP Swype Right you were too good for this world

Hell Books (latebloomer), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 02:21 (eight years ago) link

What did they sound like btw I didn't get to see the video

Hell Books (latebloomer), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 02:23 (eight years ago) link

2nd post itt pretty much nails it. It was some dillweed recounting his texting/sexting courtship with a girl (to us? to the girl?) that ended up with him not being able to get a boner. All over some moody guitar.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 02:25 (eight years ago) link

also the entire second half of the song (after he finishes the story) is just him repeating "I shoulda never had that whiskey"

Heroic melancholy continues to have a forceful grip on (bernard snowy), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 02:39 (eight years ago) link

guess you could say the lyric has exactly the opposite problem of the narrator: it finishes too soon

Heroic melancholy continues to have a forceful grip on (bernard snowy), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 02:40 (eight years ago) link

If you're as young as that dude seems to be, whiskey didn't kill your boner. Your dick is broken. See a doctor.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 02:41 (eight years ago) link

Wow quick work everyone

kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 02:47 (eight years ago) link

I've been curious how you came across that so fresh. PR email blast or what?

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 02:52 (eight years ago) link

Twee Speech and Crepey Literalism (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 05:58 (eight years ago) link

Johnny - a friend runs a (very) small local mpls music blog that runs show photos/album reviews but they've been around long enough to get on PR email lists & he posted on Facebook

kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 11:59 (eight years ago) link

let me guess -- he posted this on facebook, then you got to texting, then you heard the song, then you got to sexting
