Tripod - The Wheel

[Retrograyed]

They lied, I couldnt find the video anywhere

[alligatored]

I know this song was written to be a joke primarily...but it reaffirms my faith in humanity.

[lordtarnerran]

@alligatored What? that we're all complete fucktards? /sigh, good times

[verylittleknowledge]

it's as if Talking Heads had written comedy.

[AnnieWoo89]

i like the start the most :) pretty sure guitars make guys look even hotter..

[TheJanah1234]

I say Tripod the other night and they were so awsome. This song is awsome!!!! GO TRIPOD

[shushfool]

<3 tripod

[ecream0308]

Well i built a wheel so i had to build an axel

So i needed and axel bracket,

So i needed some steel, so i had to make a digger

So i needed an engine

And to run the engine i had to get some oil

So i needed a system of global trade

[ecream0308]

To coordinate the trading i needed a network

Of information sharing so i needed a laptop

So i can browse the web so i needed a

Domestic network wireless router

Now finally i can see thanks to all this technology

Footage of some drunk guy setting his arse on fire

And his mates trying to put it out with some beer

Thanks to the wheel.

In the olden days when you took a photograph you had to stay still

To give the chemicals time to retain exposure on the silver emulsion

[ecream0308]

And then in the dark room with some care and patience Youd be able to develop a single portrait Now youve got your phone with a video camera Connected to the web with a digital network So anyone can watch straight away With a domestic network wireless router Now finally i can see thanks to all this technology Footage of some dickhead jumping into a pool off a roof And smashing his leg really badly Just do a search Pool smash leg Or smash pool leg Or leg pool smash

[ecream0308]

The human race has come so far

From where we were to where we are

(from where we are) what have we learned

Ill tell you what weve really learned

Weve seen what it looks like when a kimono dragon spews up a goat hes just eaten

Weve heard Hungarian hip hop done really really badly

Weve seen a kid fall off his skate board, bleeding on his arse

And it looks like a flowers blooming on the back of his jeans

[ecream0308]

Weve seen another kid hiding under a sheet Crying about Britney spears fucking up her MTV performance Weve seen farting creatures Indonesian 007 type films staring a midget And other really really useful stuff Now youve got your high definition TV For watching crappy home videos that are this big (You can resize the video to fit the screen Yeah but then its all pixalated Oh theyll invent something to fix that) Thankyou the wheel

[plaugherface]

It's farting Preachers, I think.

[TattooLost]

Tripod are my idols.

[TiNGRiN007]

saw them live, they were awesome

plz someone post lyrics

[patronise]

If you really want them, just listen and type them out.

[ecream0308]

here you go, i have them all out, not sure how correct though, lol, love this song

[LordOfTheBlocks]

thanks for the lyrics. English isn't my first language so you solved a few parts that were unclear to me.

However, I think it's a Komodo Dragon at the videos description part. I'm almost 100% positive about it. Everything else was fine (I think). Thanks again!

[snowyalice]

Yep it's Komoda Dragon

[itachisinner]

some one should put the lyrics up please?

[canadiankazz]

They're awesome live. they opened with this song when I saw them at the Adelaide Fringe this year

[TheDoctor947]

[princessannikki]

[itachisinner]

[lawnmower88]

[lonesomepoetxi]

[jumpup]

I love geeky humor.

[maskedracoon2]

[Lawl21212]

Lol, the definition of irony?

[maskedracoon2]

[msrados]

"We heard Hungarian Hip-Hop'd done really, really badly"

WOW, I am from Hungary and watching Tripod as a fan :-) For them my place must be like some outback :P

[nickiholland]

gatesy looks grown up.

scods hair looks awesome.

i like yon's shirt.

haha =D

[gfixler]

If you wanted that to be an American-style haiku, it should have gone like this:

Gatesy looks grown up.

Scod's hair looks wicked awesome.

I like Yonnie's shirt.

:)

[nickiholland]

haha. Yeah I guess.

Or maybe it is just my vagueness and inablility to write full sentences when there is no need to =D

[rollyngstone]

FYI that indonesian 007 is actually filipino search WENG WENG its funny

[usernameunauthorised]

a song we can all relate to. I agree that I want to see this featured, but i don't know if they would feature something recorded from television. although it is from the ABC and they don't care about their content being distributed or whatever... so if youtube understood that then i guess they would be cool with it?

how would we go about suggesting this for featuring?

[c13diz]

I love Gatesy's hair in this clip. :)

[Froglet125]

Just do a searrrrrch, pool, leg, smashed!

[haikarate4]

[Muglez]
