101101010010100 by the Flobots

[AgentNorthDakota]

FLOBOTS wont get boring in 101101010010100 year (in binary code it is µ and in greek that means millionth

[ehmayex55]

23188 is the deciamal number of the binary 101101010010100 :D if youre interested in :D

[vampiresmile15]

I love how at 2:00 the music sounds chaotic and disjointed but it slowly builds back together as his rhymes start to connect.

[Izgood99]

Why do you think the title is "Mu"?

[whatcanthere2]

@Numb3r1guy Be sure to drink your Ovaltine. Lol :D

[15MSchmittQ]

@Numb3r1guy what is ovaltine?

[malfunctioninghero]

What does "pull a niki [N-eye -key]" mean?

[ColorMeEvil2]

@malfunctioninghero lol Nike as in Nike sneakers.

[malfunctioninghero]

@ColorMeEvil2 Oh aha mkay XD

[Someepicguy]

@malfunctioninghero I MEAN WHAT

[Someepicguy]

@malfunctioninghero Was there an end to that sentence- SHUT UP JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH

[KIDENVY4]

@malfunctioninghero Think he said 'knife-ie' As in the slang terms, of knife

[malfunctioninghero]

@KIDENVY4 Hm. That's interesting. One other person thinks it's "pull a nike" like the shoe brand, but while that doesn't make sense, it has also adopted into a theory I'm following. Writting someone because it makes them want to draw a weapon [2:15] makes less sense; thanks for your opinion tho.

[KIDENVY4]

@malfunctioninghero Yeah,i read the lyrics ^^

[jdiehl2]

@malfunctioninghero

It means pull a nike (just do it)

[malfunctioninghero]

@jdiehl2 Really? I didn't know that there was a slang term like that... or is it just that your saying that "oh, just accept that part for what it is, ok?"

[Inrxz]

@malfunctioninghero

it's a popular nike slogan, and it makes sense in context

two and two together.

[GmanisFreeman]

Who else sings out loud this whole song?

[commentableuser]

@GmanisFreeman I don't sing, I do rap alongs.

[kiyka]

I don't know if 'binary' translates into something with some insightful witty meaning or not, or if the title isn't simply just 'binary', consider we all thought 'binary' before 'what does it all mean'.

But the lyrics keep me thinking, I mean every time through there's so much more being built, that I have to pause and pay my respects.

But it's given my tourrettes something to cling to. I can't stop rapping out loud all the time.

[musicsebastian888]

i know all of the words to this song O,o... i love this album

[Someepicguy]

@musicsebastian888 You're like a brick, you are made of clay and think about the sky.

[OnionchipVEVO]

@Someepicguy bricks cant think... neither can clay...

[musicsebastian888]

@Someepicguy

hm?

[tnizzle53]

This is Jonny's masterpiece in my opinion.

[teransdatiger]

Am I the only one who noticed that this was uploaded by cuntsound?

[KIDENVY4]

@teransdatiger Ironic....isn't it?xD

[seacretkid]

this was the song that got me into fast rap....and now i can rap fast. total win!

[valkin07]

Well this inst exactly the flobots, this is more like pre-flobots

[iwantasundaybike]

@ 4:50-5:30 I wish they made a whole song like this

[diusx]

@iwantasundaybike are you serious???

[mager5874]

omg im listening to the whole song im going crazy only at 3:07

[TreyTimes]

To the only girl i ever want to kiss, ever

Throw rice with, your a priceless tresure

[ItsDyerNotDryer]

I remember buying this album back in 2003 when someone reccomended it to me in the CD exchange. This rap is dope, amazing song. 4:45 is amazing btw

[DarqWolff]

Autobiographical.

[omarofuae]

The title of this song makes no sense... I decoded the binary, and it has no meaning... It is a malformed binary code, It has 15 characters; I tried dividing it in half then decoding each, but one set contains only 7 characters, making it impossible.

Anyway, this is the translation of the first set:

µ

[woombroom69]

@omarofuae stop it ip you nerd decode this 110110101000010010101100111010­010100010101010.........2 ?!?! does not compute

[PonyusTheWolfdude]

@woombroom69 lulz, you haz redundant 0!

[FatBastard1510]

@omarofuae Well maybe that's the point, not everything is understood by mankind yet, and that's probably what most of the Flobots' songs are all about...

[TheSayasy]

I love this song because it has various styles in one song :P

[MisterLambs]

@goldenspeed Quit Posting Shit You Fucking Weirdo. Go outside.

[goldenspeed93]

@MisterLambs dfhfgngfhgfjgfjfghjdgj

[goldenspeed93]

I stop and listen to this song.

there's a deeper meaning to that than you think.

[corwinfreak19]

better than Tupac or Biggie. sue me

[DeezyB420]

@corwinfreak19 flobots dont talk about raping or killing people

[goldenspeed93]

I already got the cd which is why i havent commented on his songs anymore. and this will by my last comment.

[cpat97]

The title is the number 23,188...

[milotoc1]

@TotalRandomViewing you can't judge their music by two songs last time I checked they just dropped from their record label, doesn't sound to mainstream to me

[irok30278]

Does anyone know what the title means?

[invadercowy]

@irok30278 the title doesn't seem to translate to anything in English.

[TheFireMiner]

@irok30278 the title translates to z? in ASCII which is a reference to "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac" meaning Question Sleep.

[irok30278]

@TheFireMiner Thanks! :D

[Bimberfresch]

Does anyone knows something bout Yak?

[dman5849]

5 people don't know the meaning of life

[narutorules10000]

hard to believe that one of the most impressive bands isn't popular, but Kesha who sings about her dirty whore of a life and how she likes it, is popular? fuck the stupid side of youth

[AlexanderPromothus]

The beauty in the flobots songs are comparable to great poetry that flows with a soulful passion similar to the speech of great men like Aristotle and Plato. The songs seem to have great meaning that goes deeper into the realm of mystery tying back to the lead singer and some of the other band members beliefs in magical realism. This is what makes their music genius, completely and entirely unique.

[EMI94100]

nice and long

I love this song

^^

[hornedragon]

Disorganization, forging nations of papers predestinating superhero capers

Light sabers my neighbors consist of

Mint cookies bent books keys three tennis balls

Peanut butter a Japanese chicken

[DoctorYumYums]

By far the most intense fucking rap i've ever heard, hands down.

Johnny 5 is now my favorite rapper.

[janaesofly234]

Okay I never knew about all these other Flobot songs. I didn't even know they had an album out in 2001 and they're freaking great. they need more exposure.

[TotalRandomViewing]

@janaesofly234

okay, listen to their older songs, moon, combat, mayday, stand up. now listen to their newer, fan focused music like handle bars and white flag warrior.... their is a big difference.... and frankly? i dont like that difference. those songs above were real, had a message, were still pure.... now, these new songs made to try and attract new fans arent as meaningful.... like many great artists, fame is.... i dont want to say corrupting, but pushing them off their original path...

[cuntsound]

@TotalRandomViewing i don't think handlebars was made for the same reason as whitefagwarrior at all. handlebars was on platpus and fitght with tools; imo both really good stuff. the song just caught fire for some reason.

[jeztze]

@cuntsound

that song only caught fire cuz it was the only one with words that are not directly pointing out how shitty our goverment is. in short: the only one they were allowed to release on the radio. :/ hurray for small doses of censorship. usa!

[cuntsound]

@jeztze I think handlebars is pretty direct though.

[anklebreakers101]

@TotalRandomViewing But if you watch the music video for Flobots Handlebars it's speaking out AGAINST corruption. And the song White Flag Warriors is doing the same thing.

[TotalRandomViewing]

@anklebreakers101

you dont understand what im saying. wat im saying is that handlebars and white flag warriors are making flobots mainstream... soon enough, they wont be writing for a message, they will be writing for the fans, and the people who are listening to there music now dont care about the message, or really dont get it. they may say "oh hey, now im going to actually do something" but they wont really do it. the original listeners, the ones who found the message... they will leave.

[ColorMeEvil2]

@TotalRandomViewing All of their songs have been for their fans but for them also. I understand what you mean and I really hope (and doubt) that it'll happen. Flobots never had a problem about rapping for a cause and i don't think they'll ever stop. Handlebars and White Flag Warrior is what i like to call mistaken mainstream. It's when people mistake it as pop when it's telling people a message.

[bingwingching1234567]

@TotalRandomViewing im pretty sure youre completely off in your prediction, true fans never leave, theyre not going to say "oh, well i like the music, but its mainstream now, dueces" and plus, they're not even going "mainstream" as you like to call it (fyi, the definition of mainstream is to do something for the pure intent to make money) they got more famous BECAUSE theyre music means something, they still have the same morals as before, please for the sake of your shame, get your facts right.

[jacknsally218]

PEANUTBUDDERRRRRR <3

[YoJimboftw]

holy crap.... hes a great rapper.... look how fast e was, and hes not that famous

[CPringz]

The name of the song is wrong on here. the actual title is "1011010100101000"

Three zeros at the end. It is binary code for the letter "z" i was told

[KPakaDaKiNg]

what does he say at 2:34?

[ColorMeEvil2]

@KPakaDaKiNg check lyrics.

[KPakaDaKiNg]

@ColorMeEvil2 it says pamala makes but it sounds like he says somethin else

[ColorMeEvil2]

@KPakaDaKiNg he says "i can baste your bare back til' you make the same noise pamala makes" and the 2nd part of the verse overlaps it so that's why it isn't that clear.

[oMyMike]

Thinking bout being four years old I'm missing the

Days when I was with everyone I knew just around the Christmas tree

Now there's so many people and so many places and so many faces that the only way

that I could ever get you all together would be to die

So you could ask what's the point of makin friends

You just end up forsakin them

Well god's given me life, so I'm livin. That's why

[MageCon]

@oMyMike I love these lyrics <3

[NeoKailthas]

@oMyMike I don't know what to say to that... it is mostly true...

[RequiemHD]

@oMyMike Yeah, i can hear thanks...

[dman5849]

this is one of those songs that changes ur life

[asweetkill]

not his best work

[komatoran]

@asweetkill I never heard another song where Johnny 5 flows better than this. Maybe you can enlighten me with an example of his "best work"?

[asweetkill]

@komatoran try handlebars or some of there newest songs 

[ColorMeEvil2]

@komatoran try Anne Braden.

[komatoran]

@ColorMeEvil2 Anne Braden is good, but there's something in this song when Johnny 5 is rapping that isn't in Anne Braden. One of those "it" factors, I guess.

[ColorMeEvil2]

@komatoran what part?

[komatoran]

@ColorMeEvil2 It's not a single part, although the intro and conclusion are pretty strong. It's that there so much more feeling in his words, so even when he raps so fast you're still following the emotional flow. Did that make sense?

[ColorMeEvil2]

@komatoran yeah i get it, but you cannot even deny that he would've done the same. The emotion he puts in his rhymes make up for that lol.

[komatoran]

@ColorMeEvil2 Ha, true that, true that. Still, it's pretty amazing.

[ColorMeEvil2]

@komatoran i hate how underrated he and the flobots are. 

[MrM4sterchief]

@ColorMeEvil2 true true true and true !



[MageCon]

@ColorMeEvil2 I don't. They deserve so much more, but they only lure a very specific crowd of people. The Individuals. Anymore and there would be too many douchebags :P

[ColorMeEvil2]

@MageCon lol that's true :D

[simonkism]

[TwoTekah]

@simonkism your right, knowledge is power, and you are obviously weak.....

[BUNCHACRUCH]

FUCK i love this song

[RapDroid]

i fucking need the instrumental of bunchacrunch's favorite part!

that's the best part to rap over, it's just...epic.

[PKBarney]

does anyone know where i could get hold of a copy of the album?

[RequiemHD]

@PKBarney i got mine off itunes, dont think you can really buy it anymore :/

[PKBarney]

@RequiemHD ah well :( cheers

[RequiemHD]

@PKBarney Anytime.

[NoobZandwich]

@PKBarney You could ask Jonny himself. His youtube channel is 'flobot5' if you didn't know. I bought the album on Itunes a few years ago but I bought the physical CD from his website.

[PKBarney]

@NoobZandwich it's cool, i've just made do with the itunes version and burnt it onto a cd. guess the music's the important thing right :) thanks anyhow

[MCConnor95]

Amazing song, the best in the album imo

[Fccakid16]

He reminds me of Max Bemis. It's the way he talks. Also this song is the shiznos:)

[komatoran]

I want to make a music video for this song. I'll need to somehow get my friends in on it, but by God I will make one. And it shall be epic.

[belowparaboveaverage]

[benstir2]

cuntsound is apart of the sophisticated music group

[epicbigz]

true treu 4:10 sounds epic

[FatherNyghtshade]

at around 4:10 When he sings "This is my heart", i wish jonny would've made more songs using that angsty voice, it sounds amazing.

[dangeroftime]

Binary makes great rap.

[valkin07]

@dangeroftime that inst binary, binary is always division able by 8, or one byte

[fischie10]

wow lyrical genious, i loved eminem cause his shit was REAL, i wish flobots would rock some stuff with eminem. itd make a great song, lyrically.

[tiredboredsick]

drummer blows it

[Rhythmsynonym]

This took a few times listening to to get used to it, cuz its so different...but now i think its one of the coolest things ever

[komatoran]

No one appreciates the genius that drives Johnny Five's flow. The hectic-pensive-upbeat-desperat­e-resolve chain in this song is obvious in his rapping speed and word choices and it makes the song come alive. Just. Pure. Genius.

[ProggyDrummer]

@komatoran he really is among the best rappers that i've heard

[jimfear420]

@komatoran i appreciate jonny 5, he is without a doubt the most creative and talented hip hop artist alive

[jedimaster00000]

Flobots are so epic. Whenever I'm distracted and kinda feeling down, I just need to listen to them and I'm ready to go again.

[jdogame12]

this song is IMPOSSIBLE to find on limewire lol

[okthatsnice]

@jdogame12 search for youtube to mp3 converter" on youtube or google or something.. just be careful not to get a virus instead :O

[fischie10]

@jdogame12 i use realplayer sp, its downloading RIGHT NOW. and ill be able to convert the video into a song and put it on my phone within minutes lol, really easy.

[jkid1134]

Maybe it's just numbers...

[TheAlliesCanHelp]

@jkid1134

maybe the entire world is just another dimension and that dimension is a simulation that is just numbers

[xxmechrisxx]

If it was my choice i would lock them in my room and not let them out unless they sing every single one of there songs 500 times.

[Geckko634]

@xxmechrisxx thats relatively creepy X3

[blakscull]

holy shit...

[SamEighteen]

@blakscull I know, its incredible.

[SamEighteen]

The letters are binary/hex for μ, the Greek letter Mu. It was based on an old heiroglyphyic for water. So maybe the song is called Water?

[ChrisJamSiege]

Flobots, F*ckn' Fantastic!

Their lyrical compositions make me ecstatic!

[solarbirdman]

Cool Beans Bro

[yupyup181818]

Less of Justin Beiber more of this plz

[tommytiny06]

anyone got the lyrics for this

[TheDeifyProductions]

I put the name through a bianary translator and it put out "µ"

[jhonrobert96]

@TheDeifyProductions dude thats the torrent sign i think

[SamEighteen]

@jhonrobert96 ...

[Nooramizu3]

@TheDeifyProductions did you try a hexadecimal translator also?

[TheDeifyProductions]

@Nooramizu3

Isn't that a little big for a hexadecimal character?

[Nooramizu3]

@TheDeifyProductions

I have no idea...but it's worth a try right?

[arlingo]

rfits.

[SamEighteen]

See, white people can rap too.

 But in all seriousness, this is an incredible song. Flobots make the only true rap *music.*

[htime9119]

@SamEighteen that statement was completely false. you aint looking hard enough for good rap then

[NoobZandwich]

For those of you who don't know, the album is back up on Itunes.
