Atom and his package - LORD IT'S HARD TO BE HAPPY WHEN YOU'RE NOT USING THE METRIC SYSTEM

[MoonBurgle]

I like Adam Goren and his music but he's a huge dink in person.

[biostoxsick]

@MoonBurgle Yeah I agree he used to go to the collage I when to his like first show, and he's was an ass then to.

[fondren001]

gay as hell! xD

[TheJohn0909]

HAHA, I just found this song, last week in my algebra class I was complaining how ridiculous the english system is. I wish I could have shown the professor this song.

[jakemag]

WE WANT METRICS! WE WANT IT NOW!

[frycook813]

this guy is my teacher <3

[lildrumrboy2001]

@frycook813 jealous

[khisatom]

2 words. fuck genres.  like what you like, dont like what you dont jesus its not that fucking hard

[JosephineSB]

I GOT METRICS ;P

[nasolovesyou]

such a funny song. but seriously, why couldn't america oblige with the metric system? what's up with that?

[Torkulguy]

@nasolovesyou Because we're dumb enough to keep a measurement system based on the size of some ancient assholes foot.

[valcarni1]

it's not punk rock it's electronic punk :)

[danism123]

Atom and his package IS NOT PUNK ROCK!

(HOT TOPIIIC!)

[DinosaurCop]

@danism123

Fun Fact: For a genre that made its name by bucking conventions, Punk Rock actually has very stringent regulations regarding what can and can not be considered "Punk." It's all in the "Punk Rock Handbook of Guidelines (2011 Edition)

Oh wait, you're an idiot.

[ReagansJellyBeans]

@DinosaurCop wouldnt you agree that slapping the word punk on something has gotten way out of hand

[normaj62]

@danism123 This dude was touring by himself before there was a Hot Topic, you are obviously young. Hot Topic takes past trends and co-opts them

[RAWryyy]

@danism123 Is this a reference to MC Lars?

[FreedumbFighter28]

"The revolutions here, we have overcome at last, as we symbolically stick our foot up there fucking ass"......genius.

[valcarni1]

My favourite PUNK band

[danism123]

@valcarni1 im sorry but this is not punk...

[musicmakerchick19]

Haha Mr. Goren! He's my chemistry teacher!

[rlbigfish]

Yardsticks are pathetic.

[SquidHatesNazis]

@2112murphy

He isn't my teacher, but my old principle was pretty legit on guitar, he'd play all the assemblies.

[notjustyeti]

Great song, except ... 170lbs isn't 90kg. (Cut in half and *subtract* 10%, not add.)

[Gruegirl]

Which came first? this one or MC Lars's one?

[stoprawrfing]

@Gruegirl MC Lars covered this song. When I saw MC Lars live he made mention that his version was an Atom And His Package cover

[dudevernameistaken]

@stoprawrfing yeahh i saw that, he did samee.

[katelovesyou666]

@Gruegirl MC Lars actually makes mention of Atom Goren in his version.

[cheseeproductions]

Its like the new koolaid commercial: Typing "Lord its hard to be happy when not using the metric system-atom and his package" is more finger exersize than video games so listen to this awesome music!

[vaguelyhumanoid]

Metrics are overrated.

Egyptian Horus eye fractional measurements for life!

[rocketman3634]

yeah he teaches my physics class at Shipley. He plays in the talent shows and coffee houses sometimes

[BREAKMEKNEES]

It's less mental oppression than well meaning but stupid, stupid people. Hey, maybe instead of complaining about it on youtube you could take action to change it?

[TruthSmack]

Dope. We live in a world of mental oppression. "Just look at us. Everything is backwards; everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroy information, and religions destroy spirituality."

[DontGiveAFuck69]

thank you im coming down on mushrooms and i couldnt have said it better myself its disapointing

[TruthSmack]

I strongly recommend watching: "money as debt", "freedom to fascism", "ring of power", "911 mysteries", "money masters", "viberation creates form", "Martin Brofman - when the healing happens", "behold a pale horse", "2012 enigma", "esoteric agenda", "anthrax war", "endgame", "Jim Marrs the 4th reich", "american drug war americas last white hope", "transhumanism", "the polarity matrix field"....

[DontGiveAFuck69]

thank you i will add me

[cavad]

omg, that so true, i taking this to my logo

[BREAKMEKNEES]

@TruthSmack ATTENTION! Blah Blah Blah.

[josh3mery]

wow hollywood undead ripped this song off in the song "Young"

[CCmachine]

@josh3mery what? why?

[Greekmustard666]

yea i sort've know what you mean, the singer from this band is a science teacher at my school apparently haha i'll ask him if he thinks so

[lookslikehalloween]

its actually from "making love"

[turnitupproductions]

What album is this recording off of? All I can find is the live version on Hair Debatable...

[orangeglobe2]

making love

[almightyseancore]

i wouldnt call atom famous, but he sure is popular.

thats pretty rad that he's one of your teachers. no one cool taught at my school.

[SnazzySneaks]

I am so jealous of you elanarubiiiin.

[thomaskatt]

im glad i decided to put this back in rotation of my cd;s after about 6 years.

[WCSteeze]

[mman276]

[wontonization]

[animeanibe]

Cool.

[chaosshaff]

Brilliant song!

[rashadpwnzuall]

Adam Goren is the man!

[andrewJeep]

[Scuzzy89]

I gotta say, i like MC Lars and co's version more.

Brilliant lyrics though, hat's off to Atom & His Package for creating such a brill song in the first place!

[thedailyparrish]

metrics make me thin:)

[TheWondermonk]

His time signatures are excellent.  i love playing bodhran to this track. great circular-wrist snap practice.

[tendonsnap]

Wait, it's NOT all in 4/4

[mike2613]

hockey??? american tradition???

[dtm003]

[megaloman1ac]

[slayer5378]

[danyfell]

he was a science teacher before he did this whole thing...

...good song

[oggaboogamonster]

lol i need to show this to my science/math teacher xD

[hanmaenen]

Very funny, I see the humour in this song. I am an avid user of the metric system.

[yogafireyogaflame23]

this song isn't called the metric system sucks. this song is about how the metric system is BETTER than the imperial system.

[Sedatedrabbit]

This song is called "Lord its Hard to Be Happy When Your Not Using The Metric System"

[TheNilvarg]

Yeah, because Atom is a hippy douche.

[yogafireyogaflame23]

no, 'cause you're a dumbass.

[TheNilvarg]

BRILLIANT! What an insightful comment!

[yogafireyogaflame23]

if you think using the metric system makes someone a hippie douche, then yes, you are a dumbass. the metric system is easier to use, unless you're so fucking retarded that you can't multiply and divide by powers of ten. oh, but you are that retarded.

[TheNilvarg]

He's not a hippy for supporting the Metric System. It is a more logical system of measurement.

He is, however, a hippy for using his music as a political platform to attack an American tradition.

[Lockmat666]

Yes, the British-born imperial system of measurement is an American tradition. Just like hockey, vodka and clog dancing.

[Synskin]

I always though Hippies were an american tradition.

[casanovaACID]

i agree.

[malice1337]

dude its a sarcastic title dumbass

[yogafireyogaflame23]

no, you fucking moron. the actual song title is "Lord It's Hard to Be Happy When You're Not Using the Metric System." It's not called "The Metric System Sucks" and it's not a sarcastic title. eat a dick.

[bispese]

sounds cooler than my .2 somethin inches gun

[completelydrainyou]

as we symbolically stick their fucking foot up their fucking ass. guitar.

[wrath001]

every one should see Zeitgeist...it should be like mandatory yo.

[BayAreaBiker2001]

Drink a decaliter? That's just over 2.5 gallons! As for making you thin, the number for mass would be less. The last time I checked, I weighed 109 kg.

[audiopixel]

fatass

[punchuface]

BayAreaBiker2001 Im not being rude but youre an idiot, mass is not the same as weight, and your metric weight would be a smaller number then it would be in lbs. just fyi man.

p.s.

YARD STICKS ARE PATETIC!!!

[richmackin]

Wrong album cover, wrong title.

[Locker2million]

Yeah use the real title!

[alphlife]

I have no idea who you are or what AtomPackages are... but that was a really good song.

But it seems it is pro-metric, not anti (hence the name)?

[Rooneijf]

You're right. It's Pro the metric stystem.

Real title: (Lord, It's Hard To Be Happy When You're Not) Using The Metric System
