@2558533 drugs did very little to write lyrics. MGMT is naturally this trippy. Also they are not doing drugs except marijuana as of right now and that is a natural herb. Marijuana can sometimes help write lyrics because it help brings out more of you and helps you see somethings you can't see before.
@MrMcprodigy if anyone thinks MGMT doesnt still do other drugs they aren't very smart. They have no reason to stop haha it helped make them famous, they have more than enough money to support their use of them, drugs like acid, shrooms, weed arent addictive... so why stop haha?
@MrMcprodigy haha, just because the cannabis plant is a herb doesn't make it any less of a drug. Mushrooms are natural too... The fact is MGMT is inspired by drugs, that is clear from their lyrics. And that's not a bad thing...psychedelics substances open the mind to new perspectives; to put it simply.
i think it might actually be about a mix between love and drugs. The drugs take him away, and then the "whistle" aka his love always brings him back to reality. Just like how whistles are supposed to get your attention/ snap you back into reality.
ATTENTION all Beatles fans,On August 15th, we will be watching the music video hey jude repeatedly all day to boost its view count up to at the least of 100,000,000 views. You don’t even have to listen to it. You can just keep playing the video back to back all the way through without sound. We’re doing this to compete with Justin Beibers garbage music videos & to make The Beatles be heard across Youtube. Copy& Paste this across all Beatles videos. Spread the word! again
I took acid today and i feel like 100 horses in the desert and ive got 7 toes and i listen to this song all over and over again and i cant stop cause when i stop listen to it my heart is going to stop beating and i will die the very second so i got to keep listening and listening to this song all over again and sing along with it please help me somebody im trippin badly
I'm Eleven. I STALK MGMT. Lol, jk, but i am absolutey in LOVE with the,. If you are younger than me, or you know someone younger than me that loves them then reply because i think im the younst :P I got to Hug andrew and get his autograph at sunfest. I was hilarious because i only had a dollar for him to sign. He put a $ sign next to his autograph, <3 Him. Ialso got to take a pic with Ben, but he wasnt as into it as Andrew was, most likley because he was with a girl :P
@MrsBrianEno you are soooo lucky. i love MGMT and stalk them...i spend all of my time watching their interviews and listening to their music...im twelve
have you ever feel that you love EVERY song in a album??? probably NOT, somehow congratulations totally changed this, im so fuckin addicted, cant wait for the next album
@fucker665 Niice. Try to control what you post please? And nice username. You know, Its not like no kids ever go on youtube.. read your comments? Well our generation knows more than the last one.. so try to controll yourself :I
They're like, the best things about The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys, and even a little Guns N Roses, all rolled into one epic eargasm inducing mixture of godly sounds and words, absolutely flawless and perfect in every song.
If there is a god, I think he only took the 7th day off for so long so he could devote a full day of every week to planning MGMT until they were ready.
@kljaf probably because these guys are the next beatles. really. if theyre allowed to continue without interference, they will create some legendary tunes that wont be forgotten. and they already have done so with a few of their songs, including this one
@technicolorboy that's true! i was just thinking about that the other day...MGMT is seriously sooo good. there's not one song of theirs i don't like! (:
why do people hate "catchy mainstream music" so much? in mgmt's case they record music they're feeling at the time, they don't go set out to be "catchy and mainstream" just shut up and listen to the goddamn music
i hate it when people compare congratulations with oracular spectacular
the reason they made congratulations more psychedelic and different sounding isn't because they got "more mainstream", it's simply because they got more band members and more musical talents.
it's okay if you just like one more than the other, or neither, or both, or whatever
they just didn't get worse or more mainstream or whatever other crap people say about it
@FOOD4769 they've had the same damn band since they recorded oracular. congratulations isn't that much different than oracular, its just different than kids and time to pretend because they were written several years prior to oracular spectacular. it has absolutely nothing to do with "getting new band members"
When I saw you guys live at West Palm Beach, this song made a crazy crowd of ape shit teenagers shut up, come together, stop screaming, and just listen. It was so moving. I love MGMT. hahahaha
@BIendtec you said it not me. I wish i could change catchy crap, didnt mean that. Just saying theyre arent as good in my opinion. I said creep, not pablo honey. whatever, believe what you want, i wont stop ya.
listen to the guitaring on this song, then the guitaring of "in the airplane over the sea" by neutral milk hotel. I think these guys may have been an influence for mgmt.
Before i read the comments i thought that someone would argue over something stupid like how he spelled nose wrong but i guess not, Youtubers arent as stupid as they were before.
Kids, Time To Pretend and Electric Feel are just the singles from Oracular Spectacular. If you listen to the second half of the album, there are some pretty cool stuff, kind of like the second album.
As far as the Beatles, it was a different time, they weren't trying to make deep stuff early own, because it was just about making hits and more hits.
@ish701 If youre referring to that Spin Magazine article, Ben in a radio interview on like Dec. 10th 2010, refuted their story. He said they have full control. Andrew was misquoted, bad journalism.
