This song is awful. I apologise for what offence or anger towards this statement you may feel but this song is utterly awful. And I agree with the disliking of the shirt.
So, I'm a huge Tokyo Police Club fan. I actually never heard of this band before until I bought TPC's album "CHAMP" and i listened to the bonus track "First Date Kit." I'm liking what I'm hearing, so I'm going to explore the songs of this band.
HAHA, i was thinking about writing a song including some of the calypso's from "cat's cradle", but these guys beat me to the chase. There's always RENTED A TENT RENTED A TENT RENTED-A-RENTED-A-TENT....its not the saaame XD
I think my favorite thing about watching their videos on YouTube is seeing all the people falling in love with this band for the first time :) Because it brings me back to when that happened to me as well. Isn't it the best?!
This perfectly captures a lot of what I consider to be Vonnegut's thought process.
Also, I don't think he would like to be identified as a genius. I think he would rather be content with the idea that he could change time and that he did.
because the "tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly, man got to sit and wonder why why why/tiger got to sleep, bird got to fly, man got to tell himself he understand" verse is from Cat's Cradle (which is by Vonnegut).
@casseron "tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly, man got to sit and wonder why why why/tiger got to sleep, bird got to LAND, man got to tell himself he understand" dickhead.
It's actually "Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder, 'Why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand." But no biggie. I love Kurt Vonnegut and stumbled upon this band by accident. I'm glad I did.

Because of this song this band is attracting tons of Vonnegut fans, and therefore a great audience xD And it's all in homage to him.
Wow this is just a really awesome thing in every way.

“I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, “If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.”
-Kurt Vonnegut, who died four years ago today.
Rest in Peace, you genius.

why is this song called kurt vonnegut? i can't even understand what the fuck he's saying.

because the "tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly, man got to sit and wonder why why why/tiger got to sleep, bird got to fly, man got to tell himself he understand" verse is from Cat's Cradle (which is by Vonnegut).
