They might be giants is the only band that i would recommend to those of you who are failing any subject because all, well most of them, their songs teach you something.
@ADDrific no you ignorant fool, music is made to stimulate your brain, change your mood, make you feel good about yourself, it is not made to be insulted it is made to be appreciated.
@SLemonspunk and Ashurbanipal went def after standing near a speaker without realizing it,so he went to work with music in a different way.he joined "stomp",a band that uses all kindsvof things to make music.
Sadly before the band could release what would have been their Hit Album, Gilgamesh angered the Gods which somehow resulted in the creation of a solo project known as Gilgamesh & Enkidu who released their Debut album "The Floodbox" the following year. This angered the rest of the band and forced them to break up, several of them made it further in the Music industry. Sargon crossed over to the film industry and wrote the script for next years summer blockbuster "Utnapishtim."
Saw this as a 6th grader last year at swanton middle school with mr.hill (best teacher ever!?!$!$) and now being a 7th grader I still no all of the words to it
@WhiteHawkPROD 1. Its catchy. 2. Its a cool animation. 3. Its intelligent - it references something that most people don't know. 4. Its funny - the idea of a band from mesopotamia is funny because they didn't have bands back then - much in the way that there is a meme based on antiquated language. 5. The song uses some good irony - it makes references of things today using descriptions of mesopotamia, like the Paul is Dead, expect that they would ACTUALLY be dead.
@gastuf Its a geographical region in the Middle East no longer relevant today, between the Tigris and Euphrates. It has housed some great civilizations, including Assyria, Babylon, and Sumer. Today, 'mesopotamia' is divided between Iran, Syria, Iraq, and Turkey.
@gastuf Mesopatamia was the "Land between the Rivers", and I believe they were some of the first human civilizations. They had Hammurabi and his code, these were the first laws.
They had Sargon, who had conquered large parts of Mesopatamia for nearly 60 years.
They had Ashurbanipal, the last great king of the Neo- Assyrian Empire and formed the Middle East's first library system.
And finally, they had Gilgamesh. He wasn't real. He was a character in an epic, a long poem that tells a story.
