[oHazZ3R94o]

One of the most underrated songs EVER.....Justin Bieber with 500,000,000 views oon one shitty track......& this not even a million ;(....WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD!!!

[Rjmorg]

@oHazZ3R94o What song?

[EpicLemonPanda]

The subtext is that of an overachiever lacking human compassion and emotion

[aussie1996lfc]

fifa anyone?

[Mynamesnigel]

reminds me of Howard out of the big bang theory for some reason.

[Technoveins]

sounds like a mix of mr blue sky and listomania:p

[Branpk]

TUNE.

[ATWalex]

stayin up till 3 in the morning on shool holidays playin fifa 08 on ps2 :)

[kreativekitty85]

Does anyone else think one of the singers looks like Ben Stiller from Something about Mary?

[Darkangel12Marie]

LOOL i fought he said goodbye mr aids ;O my bad <3

[veronicachic]

sounds just like........mr. blue sky.

[CATman4L]

@veronicachic i always thought it was, but apparently not

[cemonki]

FIFA 08 good memories , good times..

[kramer554]

FIFA 08 , just like the old times :)

[MrCommonsense123]

AIDS? theres a hole in your logic.

[Bautioox]

FIFA (:

[mrchelsealondonfc1]

Love this song :)!

[IaminmyWorld]

Nice video.

[TheMegoCoolMego]

This song never gets old :)

[jonesycpu]

The song is in memory of frontman Irwin Sparkes' secondary school English teacher, Jonathan "Mr. A" Anderton. Sparkes said he was inspired to write the song upon hearing of Anderton's death in 2006. Many of the lyrics such as: "So busy showing me where I'm wrong - you forgot to switch your feelings on...", were reflective of Anderton's personality as a teacher, but Sparkes described him as being a "really cool guy" in interviews with the media. (Wikipedia)

[CITYSTEVIE]

Mr. A sounds like its Mr.A as in a teacher. People always call there teachers in the way with just first letter you know all the answers Promised you would love us Knew too much Life is subtraction(maths) Your love is a fraction(maths) So busy showing me where i'm wrong Forgot to shwich your feelings on No human touch Sounds like a teacher to me?

[xNoobixCubex]

@CITYSTEVIE No. Mr A is a role model to the young super heroes but he's too harsh with them they don't like him and then they become jelous of his limelight so they try to kill him? IDK. my take on it haha

[expertrockbandplayer]

Wow i thought "Mr. A" was a wordplay on "Mystery". If you think about it it makes sense.

[yurismir1]

@expertrockbandplayer Yeah, I used to think it actually was "Goodbye Mystery".

[RJonStreetz]

@expertrockbandplayer- Ummmm....mystery??

[gregg1944553]

@expertrockbandplayer I used to think it was Mr.Aids really sounds like he's saying that

[homerdanher]

@expertrockbandplayer i dont get it lol

[kettlesarenice]

fifa 08

[blackwingbear]

am I the only one who recognizes the rhythm from ELO's "Goodbye Mr. Blue Sky" copied?

[hurgenarg]

@blackwingbear youre right!

[TheRojoJojo]

@blackwingbear yeah :D but i don't think it's "copied"...

[blackwingbear]

@TheRojoJojo What would you call it then?

[TheRojoJojo]

@blackwingbear inspired.

[jamescull9888]

it does sound ike he says goodbye mr aids :)

[liveandunsigned]

[XMrsGMerrgoldX]

total rave :D

[simplelikesnow]

Mr. A as in Mr. Atheist? That's all I can think of..seeing as it's about life being nothing more than science and numbers.

[SamGyle]

It doesnt sounf like goodbye mr aids, you just want to hear mr a. by popular contrast , you want to believe it is there becuase you feel you are missing something , if you dont hear it, stupid phsycological techniques.

[Fotenote]

fifa 08 FTW

[22Presko]

"here i ran out of pictures...lol"

[Raabamillo]

Thumbs up if you think this song sounds just like "Mr. Blue Sky" By Electric Light Orchestra

[AlexSophRash]

@Raabamillo i just saw this on music on demand and thought the exact thing ;o

[addxboss]

At 01:39 sound like hes saying : "Goodbye Mr Aids" wtf ?

[FantasyWorld222]

[MrsLeoBieber]

[mcf7021]

[StephenFiorentini]

Miss the good old days when music meant something, guys do more shows!

[Meatloaforever]

Or Perhaps he's saying Goodbye Mr Race

[Meatloaforever]

He could have also been saying Goodbye Mr Ace or maybe Mr Raids

[DsHacker14]

this song gives me that feeling of living in the 90s? ;D

[ilovesasukeandleto]

is this song about how scientists ruin everything?

[tim035]

@ilovesasukeandleto

Yeah scientists ruin everything, don't you just hate it how you're using a computer and living in ridiculous comfort and not contracting polio or smallpox and have a life expectancy of over 75. But seriously, if you get gravely ill, injured or disabled please do not expect the benefits of modern medical science. Better yet, fucking kill yourself, you are scum, simple as that.

[ilovesasukeandleto]

@tim035 calm down i was asking for the meaning of the song, not to be denigrated

[Kethis256]

@ilovesasukeandleto

Mr. A was a comic book super hero & mouthpiece for Objectivist ideals. Objectivism is a 'philosophy' that Soviet Union immigrant Ayn Rand created & popularized in her books which espouses self-interest/importance. However, Rand's protagonists are shown as 'above' character flaws, while everyone else is an intellectual strawman. This doesn't reflect reality, where contrary, valid points of view coexist, making her views (and thus Mr A's) something of a joke to the rest of us.

[Kethis256]

I don't know why they wrote this song or what it means (Intentional Fallacy), but while it makes sense that it was written in memorial for their teacher, it really doesn't make sense to me that itd be /about/ their teacher since they seemed to like him (and not the Mr A in the song). Furthermore, in the video they kidnap Mr A (the comic book character).

[nadawada98]

Absolutely brilliant. Simple brilliance. Just can't get over just how brilliant this song is.

[Meatloaforever]

Though he could have been saying Goodbye Mr 8's

[Meatloaforever]

He actually does say Goodbye Mr Aids at 1:40. I think he does at 1:48 as well. He does say Mr A on the 1st and 3rd chorus though

[mcf7021]

this is about a teacher at my school called mr ackio as irwin used to go to my school

[Iphoneandmac]

this song is this best

[fillysunray]

Guys, they even said themselves the song is about the superhero... look it up.

[lilhairyarmpit]

lucky noobs i wont them too come to my school :0 wish meh luck.

[fraggermcfragger]

One of the band members went to my school. Yesterday they came to our school to sing some of their new songs and that's because one of our oldest Teachers was going to leave. His name was mr ayliffe so guess which song they sang?

[MissRawroar]

The comment below is wrong

[XxRhonniexX]

I haven't heard this for about a year, and still know all the words :)

[arcliteproductions]

Great song! We've got a similar one too!

[mcf7021]

@CreationzMusic yeah i didn't hear it .any way its about my teacher mr ackio who used to teach erwin sparks!

[yurismir1]

@CreationzMusic oooooooooo...You're so much better than the rest of us. We should, like, give you a trophy or bow down to you or something...NOT!!!

[CreationzMusic]

[aGxpredator]

[dantheman10257]
