i've had this song in my itunes library for seventeen months, since october 31, 2004—i downloaded it from teaching the indie kids to dance again. i must have listened to it at least cursorily on october 31st, and liked it well enough, or i would have deleted it from my hard drive, not added it to my library; but i've definitely never paid it any mind for the last seventeen months, because when it popped up randomly on my playlist two nights ago i thought, "huh, this has a groovy beat," and googled the lyrics as i listened, at which point it became twice as awesome and four times as creepy—or possibly infinitely more creepy, since it hadn't been creepy at ALL before i was really hearing what they were saying.

silentfire: it's like buddy holly's everyday got together with clap your hands say yeah's the skin of my yellow country teeth to make the soundtrack for the POST-APOCALYPTIC WORLD. all i'd vaguely heard was they were taking a bus somewhere, something something, and then suddenly zombies! BOOM! zombies! or—whatever they are! and then they're asking whether or not the earth has just slammed into the sun, and you realize the bus fare they're happily paying is probably blood, or their first born, or their IMMORTAL SOULS. what's hilarious is this pitchfork review that utterly missed the point of the song, mishearing the lyrics (it's "down, down", not "downtown," i've listened carefully and consulted the internet) and deducing that the song is about the mundane details of travel, oblivious to the zombies and the post-apocalypse! and that's just sad.
i've listened to it 73 times in the last two days! your turn!
