ATTENTION MGMT FANS!! wanna know what your sisters cousin's brother's uncle's nephew has been talking about lately? well here it is! the official remix to MGMT's - time to prtend! ( by: newmusicbeats ) soooo put down those greasy chips and start typin away! ... now! :D
Fated to pretend. They are attacking escapism in this song.
The first verse describes what they feel as escapism, which they later condemn in the following verses. They are, in essence, condemning the rock star lifestyle of the hollywood elite. When one lives the life you call "so cool," they are simply pretending a meaningless albeit interesting lifestyle.
@MrChurbs I was just being dizzy! lol I know what they are saying coz I saw them in an interview talikg about fame,before they were famous.They are parodying what a lot of rock stars do when money and fame are thrust upon them!The pretensions etc...........I love this sound though,excellent song!!
Do you know why it reminds you of Skins? Because it was played in the final three minutes of the series two finale. ;), lol I'm sure that's what you meant by it anyway. Every time I hear the intro I see Sid walking through the airport.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I knew about this band before their songs were being viciously cut, slashed, and edited to make a catchy intro to some 2008 film. Only true fans are those who knew about the band before they went mainstream.
actually they never even were in mainstream only like 10 seconds of the song aired on a movie trailer, the movie looks like its gonna totally blow so the trailers should be off the air within the next 2 weeks...
I personally like this song, but the official video for it pisses me off about how bad it is. The beginning is alright, but it swiftly plunges into mediocrity.
This song kicks serious ass and is quite addicting if you spend alot of time speeding like me! I think the first place i heard it was on the opening credits of that movie 21. Great Movie by the way... :)
i love the song :). the lyrics are so true. however, it's sad that there are so many young people out there who have such priorities like those mentioned in the lyrics :<. well, truth is a pain ;P
some nice advertising type photography you've got there - you might check out william eggleston, todd hido, and gregory crewdson's work as well ... especially eggleston's, think you'd like those ...
cool, was just outside w/ my new canon 450D and am downloading right now... have been looking a lot lately at uta barth, thomas ruff, thomas struth, axel hutte, rut blees luxemberg, and ute berhend - you might also check out david levinthal, nan goldin, candida hofer, david la chapelle, olaf otto becker, virginia mak, david armstrong, edward burtynsky, david maisel, jakrlova hana, philip lorca dicorcia, and donald sultan's 'the valley' - just find a fast connection and hit google images ...
i love this song and hate it at the same time. i love the electronica-ness, beat, rythems and such but the song presents itself far too pessemistically and subsequently emo-like. in other words the words are kind of annoying, this being said i do like the song. boo me if you want i dont care.
only really wanted to post a comment to make it an evan 100, great song, but all the people who onlyheard it on skins or '21' need to well..sort their lives out, but other than that greatband and great song, kids is better though
You know something, just because you think the song is great doesn't mean that others don't, just because we heard it on skins or 21 and like it means that we FUCKING LIKE IT NOW DONT BE SUCH A ASSHOLE!
sono sicuro di non aver capito buona parte dei commenti ma sto brano è un trip morbio e coinvolgente e queste immagini lo accompagnano perfettamente..ottima scelta
Good tune...I downloaded the album recently and I'm still trying to get a handle on it. I don't know if I like it or not yet (some of it is a bit too emo for me) but I dig this song.
loveee this song!! i listen to it everyday, always puts me in a good mood! still frustrated i missed them in philly,what are u talking about scientology?? and whats an OBE? lol
OMG Love it!!!One of my favourite song! <3

ay down on your back in bed (or wherever is most comfortable) and relax.
Try to imagine your head is where your feet are and.....your feet are where your head is.
If you really concentrate you can start feeling your body sorta spinning after just a few attempts. And in a bit, you will rise out of your body.
Try it.....if nothing else, it's a great experience even if you can't fully get an OBE.
