The Antipop Lyrics
The Earth it did crack open on the day
that I was born and a thousand merry
pranksters came dancin' through the storm.
I lay cradle bound a howlin' out my mind
not knowin' years to come I'd be shoutin'
over din
I sucked information through the holes in
my skull as my belly gurgles hungry my
mouth is always full.
I am Antipop; I'll run against the grain till
the day I drop. I am the Antipop; the man
you cannot stop.
As a young man, I plug into the tube, but
the stench of all that pretense I cannot
muddle through.
I lay on my back and scan the radio all
that comes out my speakers is a steady
syrup flow.
I suck information through the holes in my
skull as my belly gurgles hungry my mouth
is always full.
I stood by watching and I seen 'em come
and go. I seen 'em make that million then
vanish in the snow.
They come upon you like a pack of rabid
hounds as they slobber in your ears and
purge you with their sounds.
Pushing misinformation through the holes in
my skull my belly gurgles nauseous and still
my mouth is full.
I am Antipop; I'll run against the grain till
the day I drop. I am the Antipop; the man
you cannot stop.
that I was born and a thousand merry
pranksters came dancin' through the storm.
not knowin' years to come I'd be shoutin'
over din
my skull as my belly gurgles hungry my
mouth is always full.
the day I drop. I am the Antipop; the man
you cannot stop.
the stench of all that pretense I cannot
muddle through.

syrup flow.

The syrup flow thing is about consonant sounding music...Stuff on the radio never has any dissonance/bitter moments - it's like pure syrup/consonance Without any disonance, music becomes bland and predictable.
I agree and Les Claypool is a perfect representation of The Antipop
I hate pop music..
I think that's kinda what they were going for.
This song expresses Claypool's hatred for the get-rich-quick discardable music that is the "pop" genre. He was put on this earth to destroy the pop stars by taking their money and fans away. If only he alone could. If only.
This is my favorite Primus song I think it has a great representation of what pop music is like.
The title of the ultimate non-conformist. ;)
Les Claypool rules.
primus... sucks :)
primus... sucks :)
primus... sucks :)
primus... sucks :)
If i were female and a bassist, les claypool would be the love of my life.
But I am not female, and Im not a bassist, therefore I just worship him.
ok first off I completly agree with Sodaman.
The intro is a parody of the Black Sabbath song titled strangely enough Black sabbath.
The meaning is pretty obvious, its expressing how shallow pop culture is.
i love the "all that came out of my speakers was a steady syrup flow" part... im assuming its cuz like syrup is etremely homogenous and its like eerything that comes out of the radio these day is the same exact thing like eerything sounds the same.
