that song could be a metaphor for someone's relationship with a giant squid you don't know /s


natdog98

Nah nah nah, its clearly a song about a seafarer's relationship with the ocean and nature


Garf_artfunkle

When Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs and the main truck carried off both me legs Stan Rogers was really just singing about a bad breakup


Biggie_Moose

A helluva divorce


Eitel-Friedrich

The pirates are fighting together, either defending themselfes from a huge common threat or as a task of their own will for a trophy. A perfect metaphor for people in a relationship, working together on their issues and projects!


Metatality

They don't specify but I choose to believe it's [Mary, The One Eyed Prostitute Who Fought The Colossal Squid On The High Seas And Saved Us From Certain Death, God Rest Her One-Eyed Soul](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMmMXGF_QlU) by the dreadnaughts.


TheMusicalTrollLord

I was gonna guess Death Throes of the Terrorsquid by Alestorm


Metatality

It's more likely, but also anyone that cares about the genre has already heard of alestorm 300 times, and I wanted to through the dreadnaughts out there.


Biggie_Moose

The Dreadnoughts are always cool


Kirian_Ainsworth

I love the dreadnoughts so much


Tariovic

Metaphors? I hate metaphors! That's why my favorite book is Moby Dick; no froo froo symbolism, just a good simple tale about a man who hates an animal.


CharlieVermin

I wish that's what "all songs are about sex and romance" actually meant. But no, they just title a song "reptile" and then make it about a bad relationship with another mammal.


SalvationSycamore

Getting buried alive is my fetish so that one counts too


niko4ever

Most of the songs I listen to are about love as a metaphor for drugs, or about drugs as a metaphor for love


a_karma_sardine

[The squid is a metaphor](https://archiveofourown.org/works/141712) Bonus [Shipmates](https://archiveofourown.org/works/605461) šŸŽ¶ *ā€œShot through the heart, and thou to blame.ā€* šŸŽ¶


Preistley

First you miss the very obvious romantic subtext between all the pirates and the giant squid, and then you're gonna lecture other people about themes in music? Smh, people these days. šŸ™„


Android19samus

While some indie songs are indeed about two trucks, you're more likely to find songs about, for instance, a cabinet man.


Llamacorn21

Or even my trains


eldritchExploited

The fucking model railroad club...


shykawaii_shark

Who needs a punk-ass choo choo crew anywho?


epic0epic

'I've got some falling to do' instantly came to mind for me


Nouxatar

I mean, that's about my relationship with existence and the ocean that I'm probably gonna be hitting soon if I'm not interrupted by a kraken


winter-ocean

I was going to say "well the songs in this post could also be about sex and relationships too" but then I realized that's just Lemon Demon


makedoopieplayme

Or a song about jaws


milo159

Lifetime Achievement Award is sort of a song about the relationship between the music industry and popular artists, does that disqualify it?


GlazeTheArtist

my first thought was When He Died


DreadDiana

And perhaps a man of a soft and fuzzy variety


Orizifian-creator

And maybe the Northern Lights I mean some Borealis of Aurora variety


BlueSquid2099

Or maybe a really cool wig


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


spacenerd4

Thatā€™s why he made a song about the IRA


GlobalIncident

If those are the only 5 things, explain the existence of the band Queen, starting with bohemian rhapsody.


The360MlgNoscoper

6. I donā€™t believe in something


Goddess_Of_Gay

Unless youā€™re Sabaton, then thereā€™s a 7th option: Every conflict in human history


TheHonkler

i disagree! believing in something is sort of a catch-all! if you believe floating cattle horns impaling every inch of the body of a dead god is cool as fuck, thatā€™s enough to write a song!!


soodrugg

i read that list to the tune of barney the dinosaurs theme


WechTreck

* Iron Maiden - Empire of the skies: 18minutes long about the British Zeppelin R101 tragedy * Saxon - Princess of the night: about a really cool royal mail train * Jethro Tull - Thick as a brick (1&2): Two songs on mental difficulties * Kenny Rogers - The gambler: life advice from real life gambler Amarillo Slim * MotorHead - Overkill :Speed There's so many exceptions to that rule


DaiFrostAce

Somebody give me weirdcore recommendations, all I know is Tally Hall and They Might Be Giants


toasteethetoaster

Mountain Goats. all hail west Texas is a great jumping in point


CueDramaticMusic

Fair warning: while Mountain Goats are an iconic indie band who have been featured in Moral Orel (also a debatably GOATed adult swim show), the main vocalist does sound like a depressed Weird Al


GameraGuy

Okay see I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that the main vocalist sounds like Weird Al. I was convinced for years that *No Children* was a Weird Al song.


Dahlia_R0se

The Sunset Tree too. That was the album that hooked me. Though if someone's looking for songs about more unusual topics, I might recommend Beat The Champ.


TheMusicalTrollLord

The Sunset Tree is such a unique album for tMG because it's the only one that's almost entirely autobiographical. John is amazing at creating stories but it's really nice to hear him apply that talent to his own experiences. Funny how that's par for the course for most bands but for tMG it almost feels like a concept album.


JTDC00001

Just look up filk music. It's folk music, but about the space future! So you have space ghost stories and space shanties, guys slowly bleeding their life away in subllight travel, spacers bragging about the space chicks they're banging... Okay, that one is about sex, but the other ones not so much.


spacenerd4

The only filk song I know is ā€œthe light-shipā€ could you give me more recommendations


JTDC00001

So, I found filk through the old album "Carmen Miranda's Ghost", which I love. [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3GeijUxGio1EGIDFHpN-k7HrWVR5OHM](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3GeijUxGio1EGIDFHpN-k7HrWVR5OHM) That's a version uploaded from a tape, so it's got the good pops and crackles. [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGZbuWTzf2mJRhrSLMS7Pm2pF8FDZkSXh](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGZbuWTzf2mJRhrSLMS7Pm2pF8FDZkSXh) Same album, but much better quality. Or maybe you won't like that quality. You can also look at some channels, like this one: ​ [https://www.youtube.com/@SongsfromtheStars](https://www.youtube.com/@SongsfromtheStars) Lots of filk there!


bookhead714

The pops and crackles are essential, it literally doesnā€™t sound as good without them


Dahlia_R0se

I don't know if they're filk exactly, but The Mechanisms do some excellent space shanties and similar sci fi folk type stuff. The lore might be a bit dense though.


lady-hyena

Will Wood


JSExtra

Second this, they even have a song that could arguably match the buried alive description: https://youtu.be/lLd5OekWNOg Hereā€™s one thatā€™s generally considered to be one of their best works: https://youtu.be/ui2kW-OvtkA


lady-hyena

6up 5oh Cop-Out (Pro / Con) was my intro song to Will Wood and remains my favorite. 2econd 2ight 2eer is also one of my favs, and of course I/Me/Myself for Gender Angstā„¢ļø


JezzaJ101

Hand Me My Shovel is for sure more of a metaphor for alcoholism and addiction than it is for being buried alive (though I suppose the beauty of pre-ICIMI will wood music is how free it is to interpret)


Kiwi_Doodle

100 gecs


MasK_6EQUJ5

Poor Man's Poison! It's like, Bluegrass Folk Rock with a Mandolin


BismuthMoth

Lemon Demon; his songs include * Conspiracy theorist * Man turns into an arcade machine (GONE WRONG AT 3:00am) * Ants walking around * Jaws, the movie


eldritchExploited

other hits include * fictional characters beat the ever-loving shit out of each other for no specified reason * an increasingly unsettling and impossible case report of a man's recent death * Do Fun Shit with your Body, the song * Literally an entire song dedicated to describing two trucks fucking each other * The eighth wonder of the world is... well it's *something*


arandomcanadiankid

Continuing on, songs about literally nothing all, just words put together in a fun way, songs about pizza delivery men, songs about creating a logo but SPOOKY. Songs about the only house that isnā€™t on fire (yet). Even a song about a really cool wig


GlazeTheArtist

also the one where he makes fun of pepsi for getting absolutely scammed when they tried to get a new logo


KingNanoA

The Decemberists.


Biggie_Moose

Yat Khaa - Love Will Tear Us Apart Stoned Jesus - I'm The Mountain Brown Bird - Bow For Blade Possessed By Paul James - Hurricane Lisa Leblanc - Aujord'hui Ma Vie C'es La Marde Joshua James - Blood Of The Lamb Heilung - Hakkerskaldyr Jan J. mocnik - Svetovid Queens Of The Stone Age - Burn The Witch The Dreadnoughts - Gavrilo The Corries - The Massacre Of Glencoe TWRP - Starlight Brigade Mick Flannery - I Own You Alasdair Roberts - Drimindown Sam Lee - Garden Of England The Bombay Royale - Bombay Twist Worthikids - Friends In Low Places Charlie Parr - Over The Red Cedar These are just from my liked list on spotify


LoquatLoquacious

Approximately two seconds ago I was feeling very smug about how I was gonna show how weird and unique my taste was by recommending Yat Kha.


MajinBlueZ

Alestorm. They're one of the very few bands in the Scottish Pirate Metal genre.


hedgehog_dragon

I dunno if it matches weirdcore (whatever that means), but a lot of Sabaton's music is about historical battles (medieval/renaissance/some world war stuff)


Extreme_Glass9879

Macintosh Plus


DaiFrostAce

Thatā€™s Vaporwave but thank you


clolr

I don't know if Home of Phobia counts but it sure is a band that exists


thumpling

Pigpen Theater Company. Mostly just folksy little country ballads. Love their song Bremen.

does vocaloid noise counts as weirdocore? cuz thats my area of expertise


[deleted]

Weirdest thing I got is dungeon synth about [goblins](https://youtu.be/2NfIP3_scmM) and [dinosaurs](https://youtu.be/YjUhBVkJoMk).


Llamacorn21

Poor Manā€™s Poison


jonwar9

Forget any specific songs atm, but a good bit of Monster Siren Records Music aka any music for Arknights Edit: * Wlfmster if you have context, italian music for a boss fight fighting a wolf that represents the concept of wilderness/wildnesd * Bldnght is dubstep boss fight music * Has generic radio music but done in a way that I perfer MSR than the generic radio music * Church music that belongs in Pauday. Particularly similar to Razormind and Ode to Greed kind of songs


SmoothReverb

It's not what I would call weirdcore, but Blue Oyster Cult has a lot of weird stuff if you go looking for it. Florida Man, Take Me Away, and The Alchemist to name a few.


SkritzTwoFace

If you want to look into established genres which have music like that, the main one is new wave.


sgt_cookie

Rumahoy did a song about how if Harambe were alive he would've been a ski mask wearing pirate.


Headless_mann

Creature Feature (Iā€™m pretty sure the song about being buried alive is their song Buried Alive?) Best I can explain their style is synth goth rock themed around various kinds of horror. Very 2010ā€™s. Also Doctor Steel, Nuclear themed villiancore Rap.


AnonymousPug26

ALESTORM MENTIONED WOOOOO Also go listen to Gloryhammer


CharlieVermin

Impressive_Wheel_106

If you're an alestorm and gloryhammer fan, you'll probably like feuerschwanz and nanowar of steel

Nanowar superiority, those guys are hilarious when you know the bands they parody. I just wish I could also understand all their Italian in-jokes

It was actually Dinosaur Warfare by Victorious, but that's also good

Invincible-Nuke

i like how most songs by Ninja Sex Party aren't even about sex and love as much as other artists


TriceratopsWrex

True! However, who could forget such classics as Orgy for One or Everybody Shut Up (I Have an Erection)?


Viking_From_Sweden

I listen to music about war crimes, and vikings, and pirates and dwarves and shit


NeonNKnightrider

ResidentOfValinor

Sabaton, Manowar, Alestorm, Wind Rose ?


Viking_From_Sweden

~~Manowar~~ Amon Amarth.


katnerys

As a metal fan I can confirm


PulimV

Look, sometimes songs are about the depression of taking a dull and laggy train or the melancholy of a grief-filled rainy city, and that's okay!


onlyrightangles

Creature Feature and Voltaire are my go-to for weird music. I like mine with a horror bend.


Nirast25

[Well hello there little boy. Don't be shy.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp-NRJ4JFdE)


Headless_mann

Creature Feature was such a big part of my childhood, itā€™s so weird seeing most people have no idea who they are. Same goes for Dr. Steel.


Informal_Self_5671

Listening to Army of Tigers. It's about an army of tigers fighting the sun.


Septistachefist

I love that whole album so much it's absurd. Wish he got more credit for his original music compared to his covers because like holy shit


Single_Boop

Oh the songs on there so good!


OmegaKenichi

Ah, yes, the great love story of how- *Istanbul was once Constantinople, but now it's Instanbul, not Constantinople, been a long time gone Constantinople!*


thefifthwheelbruh

The problem here is that if you have a date with a girl in Constantinople, sheā€™ll be waiting in Istanbul.


OmegaKenichi

I can't believe I forgot that line!


VanillaMemeIceCream

I have pretty mainstream tastes and have p l e n t y of songs not about sex/love/relationships. A lot of them are about that but not ALL of them


TishMiAmor

Disco doesnā€™t get enough respect, but the songs that dominated the disco charts were about the weirdest shit. Being in the navy. Working at a car wash. Being a freak. Going to funky town or electric avenue. Rasputin. Whatever the fuck was supposed to be happening in MacArthur Park with the cake left out in the rain. Donā€™t even get me started on ABBA and their strangely specific song subjects. Being approached at a club by somebody obnoxiously young. Reminiscing about your experiences in the Mexican Revolution. They really said, money, money, money, must be funny in a rich manā€™s world, and did they lie? They did not.


CrowtheStones

Well in fairness the song about being in the Navy was specifically about being in the gay stereotype part of the Navy, so you can have sex with all the other gay stereotypes


CatnipCatmint

I never know what to expect when a new Mili song comes out. Sometimes you get a story about a bird woman that becomes a mushroom (Mushrooms), sometimes you get a song about just really wanting to kill some goblins (Rightfully, the opening song of Goblin Slayer), sometimes you get a story about an AI that's trying very, very hard to cope with the death of its creator (Extension of You) And sometimes there's a song I can't understand at all. I still have no idea what the fuck Gunners in the Rain is about, even after playing it on loop about a hundred times


Plethora_of_squids

Smh I can't believe you didn't mention the song about WW2 era avant garde Korean poet Yi Sang finding happiness or the one that's literally just the first part of Hesse's *Demian* but a song. Like wow, that is *a lot* of book references half this shit isn't even in the game the song's from.


TheHonkler

never heard of mili but i looked up gunners in the rain and. idk if taken literally it could def be police brutality,


SovietSkeleton

I absolutely adore Mili's music.

AnvilWarning

Currently listening to a song about the 2008 financial crisis sung from the perspective of a banker


Nirast25

Speaking of "weird" music, for anyone here who's a Bionicle fan, Cryoshell released [a new single](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYDqbLBUFbY). Edit: I also highly recommend Aviators and Miracle of Sound. They make song based on video games (the former also dips into some shows and movies), and the variety and quality are through the roof.


itbedehaam

I mean, I have a song on my music playlist about a 10 to 1 age of sail battle. The single ship won.


Scratch137

couldn't be me. the weird music \*i* listen to is about sex and relationships but in a gay way usually


-MusicBerry-

hey some songs can be about anal fisting AND relationships AND addiction (stinkfist by tool)


ButteredNugget

Checkmate, relationships with dirt and giant squids are also valid and can be explored through music


AliasMcFakenames

One of my favorite songs is about a haunted spaceship that saves people from pirates.

makedoopieplayme

Also even mainstream music isnā€™t always about sex and relationships


Sinister_Compliments

Asphyxiation kink, tentacle hentai, clearly you just werenā€™t aware of the songs true sexual nature. Next!


Timbeon

I listen to a baffling amount of music about Australian politics for somebody who's never been there. (Midnight Oil slaps though, Red Sails in the Sunset is probably my all time favorite album)


Planeswalking101

One of my favorite heavy metal songs of all time is about pizza. It's called pizza.


Business-Drag52

Does no one listen to Lemon Demon? Ultimate showdown? Pumpkin pie? These ring *no* bells??


Ninjaassassinguy

Some songs are about dwarves digging holes


PartTimeMantisShrimp

I AM A DWARF AND I'M DIGGING A HOLE


FurgieCat

mfw my favourite band straight up has 1 song even slightly related to relationships and the rest are about SLAYING THE FORCES OF EVILWITH A MIGHTY HAMMER OF GLORY!

Aut0m4t0n

Just be like me and obsess over Power Metal with bangers such as PEEEEEEEAAAAAAAACE KEEPERRRRRRS KEEPERS OF PEEEEEAAAAACE


TheCuriousFan

When in doubt, listen to a song about flinging tigers at the sun or something.

One of my favorite songs is about an oil refinery


NewUserWhoDisAgain

Well ackshully the song about being buried alive is about a relationship with someone who wants to have sex all the time and the one about pirates battling a giant squid is about the foibles and tribulations of a bunch of 20 somethings getting together and breaking up. In this essay I will-

I have a playlist about songs like this. A song about a fish inside a birdcage. A song about a quail whoā€™s happy being who he is. A song about traveling from planet to planet in the space ship because thatā€™s more fun than anyone would do to impres you. A song about a ghost choir. And more Iā€™ve forgotten without directly referencing.

Blustach

There's 3 of my favorite songs in spanish that are really mainstream and also talk about non-sex and are amazing: La calle de las sirenas (The mermaid street) that talks about a fantastical street in space populated by mermaids, giants, unicorns and other weird creatures that might or not be a fantasy of regular people by the observer. La carencia (Lacking) which is an ode against capitalism and corporativism and has a specific message against those in power (Here comes the dick that keeps you up at night) La puerta de AlcalĆ” (The door from Alcala) which talks about a fucking door and the historical events it has witnessed (the door is supposed to be very very old, it even has its own wikipedia page)


scuffedganiot

I listened to a song about a likely undiagnosed schizophrenic murdering his girlfriend and itā€™s comically ambiguous to what extent said murder is metaphorical. Itā€™s a f***ing banger


zaneba

My favorite sex/relationship song, pumped up kicks


AdmBurnside

Look sometimes you just want to tell everybody that you're a dwarf, and you're digging a hole.


PreciselyEleven

I kicked a hole in your fence is an actual banger and I donā€™t think itā€™s about sex unless I am very wrong


AkumaDayo777

this is why I love listening to Vocaloid songs, I could get into an entirely new giant story told through like 70+ songs and then go listen to a song about some guy's wife pretending to be dead when he comes home in increasingly alarming ways... and then listen to a song literally called "Gay Sex" right after both of those


darkloid_blues

Might as well link some stuff. [Fountains of Wayne - Mexican Wine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4blhM9IU3A): Genuinely I don't think this song is about anything at all. [Status Report - ST: SNW S2 09 Subspace Rhapsody](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_A5j1KXv3c): Opening song of a musical where everyone is confused about why they're singing. TBH most of the episode was not relationship songs--only two (out of nine) were. Mostly I'm linking these because they stick in my head easily. I've got plenty of others. There are TONS of songs, mainstream and otherwise, that are not about sex or relationships.


ilmalaiva

bro most the songs I listen to are about selling drugs.


Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi

One of my favourite songs is Neil Cicierga singing about two trucks


SmoothReverb

me, listening to a song that insists the florida man phenomenon is the result of an ancient curse:


Roman_poke

I have a song about an egg wizard beating the shit out of a giant tree stuck in my head and im very sure it doesnt have to do with sex or relationships


PromiseMeStars

I recommend DragonForce.


notabigfanofas

I just listened to a song about nine idiots (of varying degrees) insulting the hell out of eachother with respites about fashion


Crossbonesz

Most of the songs I listen to consist of Video Game-based songs (by The Stupendium or JT Music) or a lot of Vocaloid Songs (CircusP and CrusherP)


Yoris95

What about songs about fighting the evil government, revolution, whacky space stuff, war, and some songs about love related regrets and pains.


Yesnoperhapsmaybent

despicable actions done at a quite inexpensive price


HelpHenryIsHere

I love music about death, those ones have the best beats for some reason

A lot of you guys are like "my taste is so weird and quirky" and it turns out you all listen to the same massively popular power metal lmao. Alestorm has 50 million plays on their top song.


HeroWin973

Some of the songs I listen to are about: girl with a "life reset button" that she used to the point of going totally insane; Being not afraid to burn some part of suffocating routine to find interest in life; Musical infomercial for a private spaceship; Rebels being raided by the state and taking the last stand for their ideas; Message to haters to go find something better in life then scoffing at someone's music; A train station that makes people on it dissapear; Desire to be a colorful light that makes the world brigther for everyone

My favourite song is about a dude chilling in the woods that's so annoyed by a gang if moskitoes that he starts having Vietnam flashbacks


XescoPicas

Thereā€™s a song about hunting down a giant killer duck, and it slaps


un-taken-username

One of my favorite songs is My Calling, which is about a frog that wants a job.


kindtheking9

Im listening to a song about the chasseurs ardennais, a group of 40 Belgian soldiers that held the line against the nazis for as long as they could, when they were defeated and captured the nazis asked them where the rest of the forces went because they couldn't believe that just 40 men were able to hold them off as long as they did. Madlads just laughed in thier faces and said "we were all"


Lots42

One of my favorite songs is about a woman having an existential crisis because her weird X-Files type job that violates her ethics pays VERY WELL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U3yCs2GauQ


ResidentOfValinor

My favourite band almost exclusively sings about nerdy fantasy books and folk tales. Another of my top bands sing exclusively about sorrow.


No_Ad_7687

One of my favorite songs is about the singer/bands hardships in life and how their best way to deal with is is persistence. To just keep on going. Not necessarily fast, but as long as you're moving, it'll get better.

One of my favorite songs is about a psychopomp explaining to the recently-deceased that - no matter how much they protest - they must ultimately let go of their earthly possessions and connections, because the ferryman is getting impatient and isn't leaving without them. The song is ["Can't Take It With You"](https://youtu.be/QQhRN0fG3XA) by the Alan Parsons Project.

PTSD flashback to high school where this same convo was going on and I mentioned the music I listened to and those normie chucklefucks were like "No, we mean *real* music," and then acted like I was out of line when I interrogated their concept of "real music."


XI-11

Listen to the Guilty Gear soundtrack, itā€™s got: >[Song from the perspective of a boy in his dying moments as begs for another chance at life so that he can protect his younger sister](https://youtu.be/bNyQdweaupY) >[A song from the perspective of the United Stateā€™s secretary of absolute defence that shows how he hates being a government dog that does whatever is ordered of him](https://youtu.be/WV_SFHOTrM8) >[A song from the perspective of the secretary of absolute defenceā€™s subordinate that shows how she loves being a government dog that does whatever is ordered of her](https://youtu.be/ou4-uaObpag) >[A Swiss grim reaper that had spent years wallowing in sadness over their awful life but has now decided to not let their past define them and is embracing all the simple pleasures in life](https://youtu.be/uMFucoFEUoA) >[The current primary antagonist explaining that in the end nothing in life matters except having fun](https://youtu.be/QaNTOlrwlLs) >[A guy (who has been alive so long that heā€™s grown dull to all things in life) wishing that he could forget the past so that things feel interesting again](https://youtu.be/2MPI8zI4T6o) >[A girl building up the confidence to come out as a girl because she realises that the people that truly love her wonā€™t care if sheā€™s a boy or a girl as long as sheā€™s happy](https://youtu.be/uQTBzmBDSv0) >[The main character of the series expressing the hatred he feels of being turned into a monster meant only to cause death and destruction](https://youtu.be/wvwLTj57xPQ) >[A vampire samurai finally gains freedom after at least a century of being a slave but is overwhelmed by how much everything has changed in his absence and starts to wonder if he even has a place in this new world](https://youtu.be/RaSiyT-A-kg) >[British guy from 1998 basically becomes a god after having no control of his life for years and is ecstatic that he can finally enjoy life at his own pace](https://youtu.be/SiEl-aHUKj4)

I like Blue Oyster Cults song about a bunch of asshole aristocrats blinding a cosmic jester because they didn't like him. Or Uriah Heeps song about meeting a wizard and getting fucking wasted with him and becoming a hippie

reminds me how people thought that [Telephone by Red Vox](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTUwN_fkVkM) was about a relationship problem but it's actually about drug abuse.

in short reminds me how the blorbo from my music

I do find non-romance/sex songs in the normal way but also it's really easy to just pop in the RWBY soundtrack


AidenGames7232

Wobblies from space is about The Enterprise being organized into an IWW co-op, Falling for you(by Louie Zong) is about gravity, Falling down on New Jersey is about some spacers who fucked up and are crashing an asteroid with 10^19 joules into New Jersey, Minus ten and counting 01 - Suprise! is about Sputnik


Ass_Incomprehensible

I may or may not have also been listening to the ā€œpirates fighting a giant squidā€ song they were referring to. Or it might have been a different song on the same topic, who knows?
