LCD Soundsystem - "North American Scum"

[joedransfield]

As an english man that has traveled to both of the americas i much prefer south america, has much more culture, maybe the south (of north america, texas etc) has some form of culture yet the place is filled with ignorant narrow minded people. Good and bad everywhere i guess.

[stonethemason]

@joedransfield

You must be joking...texas?? Well maybe Austin and the towns of San Antonio. The rest is trailer parks!South America has a lot She-it holes as well as nice Spanish colonial cities , as well as ancient Indian sites, but much of their popular culture is a rather bland and misunderstood copy of North American culture much of it, trash culture. Thye miss the good stuff. There is much old Spansh and Spanish-Cali-American in the mission towns of Cali. You

[stonethemason]

@joedransfield

Texas is miles and miles of trailer parks!!

[FilGoldenSniper]

saints row bitches!

[Roboy30]

Top Spin 4 ! :D

[wowhelloashleigh]

We aren't ALL scum. But it's sad because I always feel like I am because of the big decisions made by scum that make us decent people look like **sholes, but I just realize I'm not those people. And anyways everyone (England, France, Italy etc...) has their gluttonous, pleasure seeking narrow minded illiterates. We just have more of them.... Many more of them T__T But I know I'm not to blame. So I hate when people make me feel bad about something that I have no control over, where I was born.

[Innocuouswolf]

@wowhelloashleigh Cheer up chum, there ARE others like you, and I'm sure you know some. Take pride in not being a politician!

[dloc231]

no we arent scum never have been we just do it bigger in the usa. cant handle it? Get the hell out.

[tetilt]

@dloc231 No, we are scum. Maybe you should explore the rest of the world and see for yourself.

[mdtwiztid]

@tetilt i aint scum, motherfucker

[zojapetrov]

@mdtwiztid You mad? ;-)

[skaman852]

@dloc231 gladly, if emigrating wasn't so damn difficult.

[MrOom87]

"We're like, no...." best line :)

[yedtothemed]

don`t blame the Canadians!

[bladybrunch]

@yedtothemed Nah, canadians are north american scum too sry

[FatDiggerNick]

@yedtothemed I blame the Canadians for everything, especially the weather.

Fucking Canadians.

[tenno777]

[parabutis]

[superwweppvguy]

Anybody who thinks we are scum is free to leave anytime

[Killerpiratekev]

@superwweppvguy depending on how you view things we are all scum... everyone

[o0oTheBeesKneeso0o]

Sounds kind of like Arctic monkeys

[Mcdecimus]

Nine people are ashamed to be North Americans.

[Skankindragon1]

I DUNNO oh WHERE to Begin, I am North American! I am not from England! We like things that use gas! ... a bit short on mimes though.

[kingtubenino]

im pretty sure their north americans

[thisbmecc0213]

and yeah i know you wouldn't touch us with a ten foot pole cause we're North Americans.

[cc4rtwright]

Is this LCD Soundsystems Pixies impression? James Murphy sounds exactly like Black Francis in this.

[TheRiteOne100]

west americans

[jdore8]

Hey there buddies! Ron & Fez 11-3

[FungusMossGnosis]

Surely a personal statement...

From Greenland to Mexico, Bermuda through Canada all the way to Alaska... that cover a lot of ground. I'd like to think most people here are better than scum.

[avaunt1]

this song sounds like david bowie mocking fat boy slim doing a rendition of funk soul brother.

[FungusMossGnosis]

@avaunt1

That's a fine description! Very good ☺

[croniclone81]

we are scum, coming from america....stay away, you might catch something.....you will, i repeat....you will regret coming here....something might rub off....

[walsh303]

we are north american cunts

[Johnny75416]

Steppenwolf: Brilliant

[OnanTheBavarian]

Never fret! Actually wo love you guys, but sometimes you get on our nerves, but still we love you.

[Wolfenstein2021]

These guys are great this is one of my favorite songs. Even though they are talking crap about north americans

[Wolfenstein2021]

These guys are great this is one of my favorite songs.

[twentymooseman]

This song almost has a tone of him reveling in our flaws. Also feels like a sort of "F-ck you" to people who generalize Americans.

[xealiot]

Moon Landing set was clearly the same one that Nasa used......i said it

[seanhmilleable]

if we act all shy? ~ brash American scum ~ ten foot pole ~ we love this shit!!!!!!!! give us faith in a free world!!!!!

[DCrains]

WOW!!..great song,...ever heard of BECK!!!!!!!

[fileunderanna]

LCD I love you

(ferrara, june 24th 2010)

[royalnash]

good album but it aint that great tv on the radio dear science is better

[IgpayAtinlayUlesray]

what makes James Murphy so cool is his ability to make fun of himself in songs like this and I Can Change. Or it might have something to do with the fact he is just naturally cool. Either way LCD rule!!!!!!!

[dpalanuk88]

for real...most of the country cares for nothing more than themselves.

[AzoreanProud]

@dpalanuk88 capitalism is awesome : D

[ZachRost]

@dpalanuk88 Most of the world*

[Naytinfinity]

@dpalanuk88 agreed

[scottbaioisdead]

RON AND FEZ XM 202 SIRIUS 197 11-3

[SLCamper]

1) James Murphy is definately American. He's one of the North American Scum he's talking about. It's pretty clear from the lyrics.

2) Europe does not have FREE healthcare. You pay for it with your taxes. You might have a better healthcare systems than the US, but nothing good is free.

[drewpoc88]

By "Scum" I think he means "Powerhouse". Yeah, so what if 1/3 of America is obese. The other 2/3 are pretty beastly, if you ask me.

[Aki65]

why dose everyone using this to step brothers? I heard this way before step brothers, it was in the IMF (International Music Feed) Channel and I showed me a lot of great music from around the world 24/7 that was the greatest channel I've ever watch but sadly it suddenly went away...and I was sad. and yes I'm a scum too. XD

[hahawhatevs]

This just reminds me of Step-Brothers

[Phoenix1342689]

Lol. I love how sing-a-long the chorus is. Seems like Murphy did that just so that stupid people would sing to it, not paying attention to the lyrics. Genious.

[zaynzaynzayn]

i dug this song more before i read the lyrics. still cool though? JUNO?

[busychild69]

dont blame canada eh

[john18061806]

Cuz it's north americans!

[suckithardnfast]

To say an entire continent is scum really isnt fair.

Usually the news will put the most idiotic people on TV. That is like me saying "all of europe has bad teeth, annoying voices, and are jew killers."

[killertwenie123]

Are you saying thats NOT true??

[IQ294]

but it´s true, except bad teeth.

[fahotchule]

@IQ294: haha, yea couse in europe we have free health insurance! hahaha

[EJArendee]

I'm loving these low budget costumes

[M3CHIMP]

lovin the sci fi video

[BigTrebby]

RIP Jerry....sad stuff.

[ram100677]

deffintintly, I second that...RIP Jerry Fuchs...I met him once, and he was a super friendly awesome guy.

[skinnyxranger]

hahah, step brothers! :D

love the movie and the song.

[animatedxdewd]

XD im gladly scum. as long as the good music keeps rolling in

[Switchberg]

This is a very nice song for dancing... I wanna dance every time I listen to it

[basterfrmmars1234]

lol i first heard this song on step brothers

[wazztie16]

Loved,and still love this song,since i first heard it,agessssss ago :)

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

All the special effects reminds me of powerangers as a kid!

[karin395]

This song isn't actually calling North Americans scum. I think it's taking the piss out of everyone that calls us scum, saying that we're exactly the same as every other country.

That's what I get from it anyway.

Interpret it as you wish, I guess.

[inspace77]

DFA is a record label

[davidyow]

your use of the apostrophe is dummass's'

[zepheadGT3]

The music video disappointed me.... It had nothing to do with the song!!!!! I love the song itself.... But this video was a let-down :(

[kentmorita]

Yeah it does... look at the flag the astronauts put on the moon, says DFA; I think it stands for Department of Foreign Affairs. This video shows a country (in this case the DFA) taking over a new place of land (The moon, or America) and pushing out the red astronauts, (or the native indians).

[crazytacoburger]

O.o I dont think that's what they were going for, interesting theory though.

[dannybluenose95]

hey...im brennan.....im dale but you have to call me nighthawk

[SnoozeIRTL]

LMFAO I get thumbs down for my comment, but no one replies and says why what I said was wrong, dumb, or what ever is on thier mind...

[Zaine2]

such an underated band - true genius ! - love it - puts a smile on my face everytime

[dreagthe]

YAY TAKE CANADA DOWN A NOTCH

[SnoozeIRTL]

Listen I live in the U.S. and I have much respect for people of other nations and all, like the U.K. But why why why do those people always talk about, sing about, and argue about Americans? Every time I come across one on the internet, they talk about the U.S. in some way. Good or bad... mostly bad. I mean, is it really on their minds that much? Americans aren't always talking about the brits.

[mitten2787]

most of the americans i've met seem to have nothing but respect for the brits. shame the feeling is'nt usually returned.

[wazztie16]

I'm a Brit :D. Lol

[killerboy353]

For the people I know, it's this perceived notion that Americans have this superiority complex, or for a few others a hero complex. Not I'm not American, I'm NZ.

The internet can also be quite the cesspit so don't listen to that shit.

[ImInBandBJealous]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that LCD Soundsystem is from New York, they are just popular in England. They arn't English though. They are from America.

[SnoozeIRTL]

I didn't know that at all... xD But still, it deffinately brings up the fact I was pointing out...

[theones77]

@ImInBandBJealous you are correct

[suhayla11]

@ImInBandBJealous

lol...anybody without time to listen to the song, this is your cliff notes...

[shancock0710]

@ImInBandBJealous I'm pretty sure they are North American scum.

[FaffleIX]

@ImInBandBJealous

Speaking as a proud citizen of the USA I can honestly say that is because most of us have no taste.

[manolohaxe]

@ImInBandBJealous thats why they say "we are north american scum"

[stenualdo]

@ImInBandBJealous People think they're from England. They're not. No.

[ultran33b]

@ImInBandBJealous Popular in England? Lol, you serious?

[tenno777]

@ImInBandBJealous No shit...

[miaow777]

Lovely. We ARE scum, though. Seriously.

[zagro2000]

@miaow777

Not you

[suhayla11]

@miaow777

speak for yourself babe. well...i guess i have my moments too.

[babydollgirl14]

Thank you step brothers for letting me hear this song. I love it!

[fatdumbyankee]

[SnuggleShinobi]

[smallrossy]

[bosalem]

''You're waking the neighbors shut up''

[liberator1986]

[liberator1986]

[bigandyk89]

[liberator1986]

I masturbate a lot and I make sounds, and you gotta deal with it.

:D:D:D

[BlueNailPolish01]

I really want to send James Murphy some decongestant. :-D

[peteski93]

Cool

[kaloriekill]

yeh!

[oryandymackie95]

It's a real shame that LCDS haven't had much success in, well, the "pop" market.

I don't know a greater band destined for the charts.

[Gallas1000]

People, People, can't we all just co-exist peacefully and put aside our differences, and ENJOY LCD SOUNDSYSTEM!

[agathabromley]

We're talking about why George W. Bush is a bad person. Anyway, I would care anyway. I'll enjoy Tribulations instead.

[bluerix85]

lyrics are so true..... greetz from germany

[lowfatfishsticks]

sooo this includes mexico and canada?

[SpecimenB]

No, not Mexico.

[miaow777]

No, just the rest of us. yeah, we're assholes.

[redskinnedvince]

like the music, the title is crap tho

[zimant78]

now now children, behave, be pholosophical and diplomatic in your party race debates.

[agathabromley]

kierinwebster just started it, don't blame both of us, just blame him. He's nothing but a low-life.

[obriensimo]

now black police officers arrest white ppl

[xfrancessx]

[sorenkaabye]

As for parabutis - the sarcasm in the song clearly passed right over his head. What a twat!
