8. I Came As A Rat (Long Walk Off A Short Dock)

[qgriffosu]

is there a difference between this version and the one on the Moon and the Antartic?

[strwbrryfldsfrvr0]

i came

[kamzillah]

shut the fuck up all of you! this is i came as a rat not float on dashboard or what the fuck ever you are talking about. this is modest mouse. this is music. leave it at that!

[hoobitman]

@kamzillah float on and dashboard are both sang by modest mouse, so yes that is modest mouse

[kamzillah]

@hoobitman i know that. i was just saying that this song isn't either of those..

[ITTTheKrimsonKing]

This song came from this album? Why is it on The Moon and Antarctica? That seems a little cheap.

[TheCruddyBug]

@ITTTheKrimsonKing This is a different version goof. This album is just a compilation of random songs, it's not a planned studio album like Moon and Antarctica. It has the Night in the Sun EP and unreleased tracks from the Moon and Antarctica sessions.

[Mycological]

@ITTTheKrimsonKing cause it's a good fucking song! (so nice they released it twice)

[m3iscoolerthanyou]

@Mycological the only difference is the length of the guitar and the (name). u probably have the best explanation 4 whay it was made twice

[jeremiahtis]

mm has other songs then float on on the radio.....since when? well at least people are recognzing their talent

[flyingfree98]

you have a point, but FUCK OFF anyways

[smurph666]

[iPodAwesum]

[iPodAwesum]

UPDATE: i do.

[Themanwhodoesnothing]

came as gold.....came as crap.....came as a rat

[Fischbeck1]

so much better than the original! the instrumental on the original isn't long enough...

[gibave04]

Great song.... Wonder why I never hear MM on the radio,

[23lite]

I hear them daily, must be where you live

[houseofcards65]

[Slider84]

LOL, i hear ya

[adamtalbot101]

lol ive never heard them on the radio.. shame..

[smartererer]

way to take the highground, sticking with your metro sexual fashion accessory that came out a decade after mp3 players were released

[houseofcards65]

your obviously better than me cause i use a convienient device.

[Mycological]

@houseofcards65 your name is a nice radiohead reference

[iPodAwesum]

it must be because i have never once heard MM on the radio cept when We were dead came out i heard dashboard. :|

[sunshineinchains]

My first introduction to them was on the radio back in 2001 and it was this very song(they were playing the college charts). When I was working inventory in '05, I'd hear their newer crap(as cliche as it sounds) in every bloody store & mainstream station on the road - FM and I live in a very backwards hick area (central virgina)...so I also wonder why you never hear them on the radio. Ever turn it on? Or did you just miss the bandwagon?

[sunshineinchains]

make that virginia haa...

[shizzleICEsprizzle]

THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING SONG

[trogdortheenchidna]

is'nt this the same exact thing as i came as a rat off moon and antartica?

[kapreecha]

seems like it..

[WhoaParrot]

It's the same song (but you knew that), but the instrumental ending is stretched out a little more (the section from 2:32 to 3:25) and has some new electronic sound effects. I think it was a smart move for them to trim it for The Moon and Antarctica.

[trogdortheenchidna]

oh yeah now i notice it

[IAintIsntNotI]

Wow... I was about to give up on this album too... This song is great... thanks for the upload

[MusicIsFunn]

Yah only song I really like off this album, good lyrics love it!

[lorak0123]

[Mikosyke]

I'm surprised no more people have commented on this, it's a great MoMo song.

[DiscoZombi3]

Gosh I love this song.
