does anyone realy know what pumped up kicks are? pumped up kicks where shoes in thee 80s' that you could pump the heals up on and everyone thought they where THE AWESOMST things in the world. but since people could not aford them cuz they where realy expensive so people would kil people for them and steal them when evr they could. and like Ajrcify said Robert A. Hawkins probly killd some people for them. the songs meaning is creepy but it haz and awesome beat and is catchy as hek! so good song!
Robert A. Hawkins shoot 8 people to death 9 including his self. he told the parents of his friend whom he's living with that hed do something thatd make him famous.. and INDEED he became famous, and that's what this song is all about. THis song seems creepy but what the heck its a food for the ears! :) FTP rocks!
I remember earlier this Summer, when I went to visit my cousin, and she showed me some of her new favorite songs (ie Adele's "Rolling in the Deep"). When she played this for me, I thought, at first, that it was going to be some hip-hop crap. But by the time it got to the chorus, I was wrong, and ended up enjoying it. (My interpretation of this is about how kids these days can act and stuff.)
Thanks, Diana! =w= You really introduced me to a group that can actually play good music.
STFU about MGMT. They are my favorite band, but they have NOTHING to do with this song. It isn't even that similar..Andrew voice is deeper, they convey the message differently...Everything.
And I dont think thye aren't on mgmts level...mgmt would be ashamed of you >.>
THUMBS UP if u kneww pumped up kicks when it barely came out in 2009 now thats what i call true fans whoo think ther fans and dont kno wtf the genre or other songs are
@indiechick909 who really cares if u heard the song when it was first released? u dont have to be a huge fan and know everything about the band just because u like their songs. And we shouldnt have too take critasism from people like you just because u heard it first. Its not about the band its about the music being played no matter when u heard it. sos top making stupid witty remarks at peeple and just listen to the music
@indiechick909 Does it really matter whos a bigger fan? u sound like teenage girl. YOu dont have to be a fan too like someones music. im not a fan of FTP but i still like this song
Obviously there's similarity to MGMT because both band are Indie. Most Indie bands have the same beats, anyways who cares. Shut up and enjoy the music! (:
@LovatoxSweet wow, i dont think i've ever met someone as rude as you. It DOES remind a lot of people about what happened at Columbine. and its a really emotional thing for people to bring up, and then you go and diss it like it was no big deal. maybe you should have been a student there and then you can talk.
@dlhouse18 I thought this was Robert Plant until now, I was asking my buddies if they had heard the new Robert Plant song, now I'm all disappointed...
Every once in a while theres a song that hits you like ice cold water on a burning hot summer day...this is that song for me right now! So cooooooooooool.......

These days you have to deal with really attractive artist with no talent or these "rappers" that are either bragging about saling death or pimping hoes. But it's funny because they all seem to love their mothers. Wierd ain't it?
@Makewayrr If you listen to MGMT they came before this band and this song sounds a lot like what MGMT has written. Calling anyone an idiot isn't going to make you look smart. I can't say this song is original either because I've heard something like it before. That's just my opinion though. Go listen to some MGMT songs and then come back here and tell me you can't hear the similarities. Someone else here says it sounds like Peter, Bjorn, & John. It's clearly not just me thinking this. God Bless
