  • Congrats on 50k views, probably my favourite flobots song.

  • Is this on iTunes

  • can someone show me where i can order a physical copy of this album?

  • I, need, the, INSTRUMENTAL!!! P.S. It's Epic, props to Jonny 5 and Yak.

  • @1001000111

    Okay, I did not send that. :|

  • @1001000111

    -.-

  • Perfect title! the binary translates to µ which is greek for one millionth; Unit of time

  • @Grogutz dude that is epic I like your comment.

  • It's not that hard to remember. 23 188 is a rather strange name for a song though.

  • Word. he actually responds if you email him. Hes a nice guy, says he pieced this song together from snippets of his solo work and thats its based off attempted relationships. He's a boss. dont spam troll him though, you assholes.

  • Close enough...

  • i think the name of the song is easy to remember... its 5 in binary, so 101, 2times 2 in binary so 10 and 10, then its 4 100, 2 10 and 4 again 100 and you get 101101010010100 easy to remember as you can see

  • Strangely enough, I really get his mind.

  • It's the "Same Thing" people screaming "Mayday" because they are to scared to "Stand Up" and "Fight with tools" when the truth is "There's a war going on for your mind" and "We are winning" it

  • jonny5 has such good flow!

  • so chill

  • Just a song of randomness and I love it!

  • Johny 5 is a demi-GOD .thank you for sharing

  • There are 10 types of people in this world....those that can understand the binary code...and those that can't....

  • @graefus Clever.

  • This isn't at all the flobots. It is one of their lead singers, Johny 5 and with the help of Yak (producer of this album) and many other amazing artist, this album was made. But it was made much before the flobots joined.

  • @lilwaffles714 Uh...yeahno. Please keep religious comments to yourself. This is completely irrelevant so perhaps preach elsewhere, kthxbye.

  • this is frm johnny 5 and yak -- if you want you can go to flobots.com and they have CD for sale, very great imo

  • why is the name in binary code..

  • Second Verse was Awesome!

  • Instrumental please!!

  • This song is so goddamn good. Stop analyzing the title and start looking at the pages and pages of lyrics. They speak more. You just gotta look, it's easy to copy and paste the title into some messy translator. Try a challenge, fuck around with your inner poet.

  • @StarryEyedSoul yah that is half my value divided by 2 so I think thats what i did wrong in the binary code, plus it makes more sense because there are actually 31 days in February so its probably what they were going for.

  • @StarryEyedSoul my first assumption would be that it means February 31st, 1988. But that doesnt make sense

  • The result is 23188 which doesn't make sense, so either they chose it just because it looks cool and represent the binary code or I don't know...

  • whaats that frist song i like it

    

  • The number value of the binary is 46376 if I'm wrong its my bad its been a while since I've done this.

  • The first couple numbers, "10110101" is a famous world seed for Minecraft. Pretty cool.

  • translated the title says "181 20".

    anyone know what it could mean?

  • @XxTheGreatBlakexX Maybe new-age cps can't add? Or it's probably because the brains behind the "translation" thought it would be funny ^-^

  • @rich1051414 That doesnt come up in my computer:( I mean, does the numbers 181 20 mean anything?

  • @rich1051414 That doesnt come up in my computer:( I mean, does the numbers 181 20 mean anything?

  • @XxTheGreatBlakexX ASCII code. When you get the numerical value for binary, type it while holding alt (In some form of text document) and you get its value. I just get some symbols with them, so unless they have hidden meaning, or special meaning to the author, its useles and random. Like how idiots spam 0's and 1's as a joke when referring to computers.

  • 4:17/ till the end is my fav.. <3

  • Sorry that you don't own the flobots

  • @astroblackable its on an old album before platypus ep called otomateopeia that only had johnny 5 and yak

  • What album is this on?

  • @astroblackable Onomatopoeia.

  • @astroblackable You utter dipshit

  • µ Song title

  • The song title is µ

    Source: my experience with Binary code

  • 4 people can't handle epic nonsense.

  • I just completed my life.

  • Z? =insomnia (reference to a comic strip spin-off of Johnny (name not remembered) the serial killer9or something relative of that) he was psychotic, argo so is the basis for this song. good ol' internet!

  • Binary numbers...(this is my heart, this is the part)

  • This song never fails to make me cry.. I love it.

  • @bethrobertson95 definately man, this songs beat and everything tears me up, especially cuz im over tired at 3am

  • Awesome song

  • this song needs to be played in reverse. it refers to sleep. in a dream everything is backwards..

  • maybe the name isnt supposed to mean shit its just a really fucking awesome song.

  • @Jador911 Well said. 

  • @bethrobertson95 lol more ppl "liked" this than the comment you're referring to. Wait.. now that's actually sad....

  • lyrics? lol

  • what do u mean search for flobots binary where?!?!??!

  • In binary the title is 5293 but it has two redundant zeroes at the end.

  • The title translates to µ which has many meanings in different fields but is derived from the 12th letter in the greek alphabet, in the system of greek numerals it has a value of 40 also a symbol used in engineering and physics, used as a braking coefficient in aviation, dynamic viscosity in fluid dynamics, in chem. is the prefix given for iupac nomenclature for a bridging ligand... the list goes on... and your welcome lol

  • wish they had platypus on itunes

  • this is like nonsense because this is in code, the song title represents code too

  • I want an instrumental track of this SO BADLY to rap to.

  • what the fuck? this is weird but awesomeee XD

  • Everyone who I show this song to hates it, and I don't get it.. Yak is amazing and it's sad how he only has one hit because our music industry is so close minded, and yes I know onomatopoeia had nothing to do with the flobots but still yak is in both of them. Whatever, I came at 2:16

  • @ziggy2316 It took me a couple listens to realize how beautiful it is.. And I know flobots pretty well. It just takes time to break your mind in to figure it out

  • what...the hell did i just hear! thats one song i will never forget. DAMN!

  • Might as well smoke this awesome song

  • The significance of the title is that there arnt enough ones and zeroes to complete the code... meaning its incomplete its symbolic if you really listened to the song its about him falling in love then losing her then falling in love again looking for the missing pieces. Its really really symbolic .

  • @alexman5566 The title translates to µ which has many meanings in different fields but is derived from the 12th letter in the greek alphabet, in the system of greek numerals it has a value of 40 also a symbol used in engineering and physics, used as a braking coefficient in aviation, dynamic viscosity in fluid dynamics, in chem. is the prefix given for iupac nomenclature for a bridging ligand... the list goes on... and your welcome lol

  • @kushmin05h However this doesn't render my point invalid because this is still a symbol often used in math for an unknown; keeping the fact that it could be symbolic true. I would rather believe that this song title has some deep meaning then just "symbol used in engineering and physics, used as a braking coefficient in aviation, dynamic viscosity in fluid dynamics" I do highly appreciate you finding the actual value for the code though because i could not. Ether way FLOBOTS RULE!!!!

  • lol google caption cant keep up with the song.

  • one of the only rap artists i like

  • i rlly wanna find the lyrics for this song can some1 give me a post

  • You cannot decode the title, it has to be divisible by 8.

  • lmao you think the title relates to the relationship part of the song?

    in binary 1 is on and 0 is off, so on off on on off on off on off off on off on off off relationship? lol just a thought

  • @RapDroid That is actually a pretty interesting take on the title. I never thought of it that way before.

  • i wonder what this code does to a computor?

  • @metal1man15 doesnt matter, my computor nerd of a friend told me. it means "Z"

  • Very nice paraphrase. I agree. =D

  • Does anyone get the feeling of epic nonsense?

  • @SpartanLion12 No, but it's nonsensicly epic.

  • @EaterOfTheSoulsdude That could not be more true

  • @muahahaha101 they just put it on itunes the whole album is 9.99 canadian

  • This C.D. is for sale, $10 at Flobots.org , But don't wait to long, it might never ever be there again

  • It cuts short at the end.

  • @dangeroftime Yeah, I know. All of the versions you could get before they sold it at Flobots.org cut short.

  • @dangeroftime thats what she said

  • if you add a 0 to the start of the number then you get Z�(in ascii ) most translators expect binary numbers lengths in multiples of 4's :), so Z� might mean something

  • @purezero23 Could be like binary slang, for example: Some spanish to english/english to spanish books don't usually have the same pronunciation as in normal Spanish speaking cultures and experts call it "Slang". I'm just guessing this...

  • @purezero23 When you count the numbers in binary, you get the sign for 1 million. Lol

  • You can find it online for around $99. Amazon and Ebay. Other then that, you have to get lucky at one of their shows. Sometimes they have them there for like 10 dollars. I spent the 99 and still don't regret it.

  • Is there some way i can buy the actual physicall cd?

  • @muahahaha101 They did have it on flobots.org, don't know if it's still there.

  • @muahahaha101 amazon.com

  • @muahahaha101

    i bought it at one of their shows. that was way back in november though. try amazon or their website

  • The binary's plain text is µ

  • @wasp243 It's short one character, and even then it's gibberish. :(

  • Why does it say its flobots when its just jonny 5?

  • @theexploited419 Because flobots is a wider search term. Would you rather type "Jonny 5 binary" Or "Flobots Binary"?

  • @EaterOfTheSoulsdude very true.

  • @EaterOfTheSoulsdude

    I'd rather type Jonn5 binary because that's who made the song

  • haha i miss yak, he was awesome, i still think brer is bettr though :/

  • Comment removed

  • @random8275947 Won't fit. If I get the time i'll annotate it in.

  • 5:00 to 6:00 was just increadible to me i love the rithim

  • My favourite part is his breakdown where he starts with "I'm writing this song in asylum." The way it's so breathy and broken up and just chalk full of emotions... amazing. This is Jonny5's best work for sure.

  • "Hey, hope you didn't mind This is your face painted in my rhyme. This is yours, this is yours, this is mine." this song is jonny5's best work.

  • @alternativecover I like the part that goes: "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 place s 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 "

  • @EaterOfTheSoulsdude same here i actually posted that as a facebook quote earlier today. i would probably say that my other favorite jonny5 song is By The Time You Get This Message. but after hearing this, i wish he would do more solo work.

  • I have A.D.D and this basically sums up my thoughts of every minute of every day.

  • The binary means µ which is the 12th letter of the greek alphabet that is used in mathematics to represent the average of a group. Maybe they are saying with this song that they are not average and no one else should be either because ''this is your time''.

  • CAn yhu get the lyrics please?

  • @romanptm I have the lyrics, but its hard to time a video with the fast rapping. I might do it if I have time.

  • @EaterOfTheSoulsdude i would like them just in the description lol

  • a peanut butter a japanese chicken clock and when it falls on 8 30 im hurting its early and my hair is dirty

    lol fave part

  • is this like separate songs, or all one song?

  • @random8275947 Its one song.

  • Comment removed

  • @arunalf Too long.

  • what does it mean in the binary cuz i looked it up and it doesnt mean any thing

  • @random8275947 I'm not sure what it means but its in binary code. So I just set up the tags as flobots binary.

  • Comment removed

  • @fourthlifeproduction i mean 23188

  • @random8275947 in decimal its the zip code for willamsburg virginia

  • @random8275947

    It it does mean anything, it wouldn't mean much. One character is like 6 numbers.

    For example, "a" is 01100001

  • I have a video recuesst can you make lyrics to this song

  • I can't find this song by them on iTunes or in the record store I'm 99% sure this just has the singer of the flobots in it

  • @mackayeiscool they had the album on sale when they were playing in reno, just search around, you find it pretty fast

  • @mackayeiscoolgoogle youtube converter it downloads the soundtrack of youtube videos;)

  • @mackayeiscool it dose. his name is jonny5

  • I'm confuzed what do you mean I'm 47 ect

  • @mackayeiscool They have watched it that many times.

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

    That's why I went to the bookstore

    To look for a Zodiac sign book

    Quick, search, find, look

    Wrote it down in my rhymebook

    To check and see if we're compatible I had to pull back my left arm

    It said a libra plus another one is a double dose of charm

  • 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 place s 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

  • Life keeps getting better but still I just don't understand a lot

    I'm growing up and up up out out damn this spot's

    Similar to a ball I saw in a mall it expands and knocks me off course

    Of course that's just how it goes

    The farther I walk from my house the more my world grows

    So I froze

  • 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 clock and when it falls On eight thirty I'm hurting it's early and my hair is dirty Teeth as if beneath a highlighter, just not pearly Peeling armhairs harm their relation to the band-aid The mucas formation is man made I plan eight minutes more of sleep I'm in it snorin deep beep beep beep
  • @highcommander2007 When again it roars I keep my eyelids analagous to a succesful venus-fly trap

    Tellin my left brain it's Saturday well he must buy that

    Wakin up again I look around and find another year has passed

    We're discovering

    at last near a lover not so fast

    here I'm hovering to make time slow down go back to last year

    we'll meet again but the characters are never gonna be the same that's clear

    I wanna see your name hand written on a letter whether this is planned or not

  • Damn i lost count..I'm probably around 78 i dunno. Haha i love this song

  • How can I describe this....AWESOME!!!!

  • 52 beat that :D

  • oohhh i guess its 53 times.....okk i really need to stop at about 100000000000000000 times....lol =p

  • 42 times....do I have a life??? =P

  • yes, you do. this song is just that good.

  • @johnnyx91911 86..... I'm right there with you.

  • I love the break down at 4:48 until the end...soooo good.

  • ime back and still rewinding

  • 34 times listening to this song and still counting.............=)

  • thanks for watching. and i plan to make a video for this. make a suggestion to what kind of video please:)

  • @EaterOfTheSoulsdude use binary and hex code and show how it relates to humanity...maybe my husband could think of a better idea, he believes technology is just a representation of humanities evolution.

  • damn this iz reall

  • whoa ive never heard this song before heh

  • it's good isn't it.

  • The whole song is good but my favorite part is from 6:00 till the end

  • i love this song i keeep rewinding.

  • I managed to find a way out for myself theres nearly the entire album on mp3raid. just search it and then type in flobots and look throught the pages the only one i couldn't find was S.P.A.R the rest like free written are all on there. Hope it helps! : )

  • thanks so much!

  • oops! wrong account! :) well, i went to mp3 raid and i searched onomatopoeia and clicked on the link and i had to pay for the site where it was downloadable :( but i'm fine, i'll just buy the cd
