[MC Frontalot]
Set up the mics, turn up the volume
Everybody present, say "here" when I call you:
Schaffer?

[Schaffer the Darklord]
Yep

[Front]
Beef?

[Beefy]
Hello

[Front]
Bought three movie tickets, got the front row
Act I

[STD]
Our plucky hero's home town:
Middle Americana, not a problem to be found
A single dad of one son with a dog just trying his
Best to make ends meet as a disaster scientist
One day he stumbles upon some horrifying evidence
Our hero decides, "I must inform the president."

[Beefy]
"Even though you seem to know exactly what you talk about
I don't think at this point in the plot I am going to hear you out."
But Washington's in fallout, can't return to my home
There's flash floods, earthquakes. I pick up the red phone
"You get this ragtag team made of washed out marines
And Dr. Jennie Marie, she studies weather extremes."

[Jane Silence]
It's a disaster, it's a disaster
Whenever you've got three nerd rappers
It's a disaster, it's a disaster
Whenever you've got three nerd rappers
It's a disaster, it's a disaster
Whenever you've got three nerd rappers
It's a disaster

[Front]
Act II. Molten lava is chasing them around
Big blue bolts of lightning spring up from underground
But our hero and his team have some hope for a cure:

[STD]
"If we can just get this crew into the center of the earth
We can install a nuclear device then detonate it
My findings indicate that this will stave off devastation."

[Beefy]
"I might have given in to my pride (that is my sin)
But take this check and shake my hand, 'cause you always trust a Whitesican."

[STD]
"Sir, you won't regret it. Launch your finest satellite
Arm it with a laser canon aimed upon the blast site
To activate the nuke. But the clock is counting down
We need to act fast as our time is running out."

[Front]
Meanwhile: hurricanes, tidal waves, floods
Sun flares cause it to seem to rain blood

[Beefy]
The President just got crushed by an asteroid

[Front]
And the plucky hero's son?

[STD]
"Run faster, boy!"

[Jane]
It's a disaster, it's a disaster
Whenever you've got three nerd rappers
It's a disaster, it's a disaster
Whenever you've got three nerd rappers
It's a disaster, it's a disaster
Whenever you've got three nerd rappers
It's a disaster

[Front]
Last Act. Son makes it, dog doesn't
Odds may be stacked against the team. They discuss it

[STD]
A last ditch effort hangs heavy on our hero's mind:
"Blowing up the planet is the only hope for humankind."
And to his leading lady, "There is something I must say..."

[Beefy]
"Hey, you and me can wait, I want to have another yesterday
Sources say the Kremlin can take us into orbit
Go to space, fix the lasers. And the earth: we can restore it."

[STD]
"That's it! A crazy plan, but we have to try
The time is nigh, gather up supplies, we must survive!"

[Front]
They head out for Russia in a little rowboat
Get menaced by glaciers, almost bite it but don't
At the last moment a decision to be made:
There's the love or the boy, only one can get saved

[STD]
If he thinks too long

[Front]
Whole globe is in peril

[Beefy]
If you don't shed a tear at the end

[Front]
Your heart's sterile

[STD]
It's a disaster, it's a disaster
Whenever you've got three nerd rappers
It's a disaster, it's a disaster
Whenever you've got three nerd rappers

[STD & Jane]
It's a disaster, it's a disaster
Whenever you've got three nerd rappers
It's a disaster
It's a disaster, it's a disaster
Whenever you've got three nerd rappers
It's a disaster, it's a disaster
Whenever you've got three nerd rappers
It's a disaster, it's a disaster
It's a disaster
It's a disaster
Oh no

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
