discussed on this thread but video/lyrics truly deserve more attention

DOES ANYONE IN THIS BITCH LIKE ICP

the pelican/cellphone couplet is the culmination of all poetic efforts since the saemundar edda imo

STRANGE fits of passion have I known:
And I will dare to tell,
But in the Lover's ear alone,
What once to me befell.

I fed a fish to a pelican at Frisco bay,
Fresh as a rose in June,
It tried to eat my cell phone, he ran away
Beneath an evening-moon.

For once, when at the Frisco bay,
with Faygo and in pensive mood,
a pelican my cellphone ate
or tried to, which I thought was rude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
to recognize these mirakills.

my god; must leave office before others start to look at me

MAGIC EVERYWHERE IN THIS BITCH

lollin so hard @ head nod 1:28-1:32

crows, ghosts, the midnight coast

is that guy fieri?

For once, when at the Frisco bay,
with Faygo and in pensive mood,
a pelican my cellphone ate
or tried to, which I thought was rude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
to recognize these mirakills.

damn son

:D

you guys laugh, but i'm pretty sure 98% of the people on this board can't explain how a magnet works

lol whiney more than 2% of the posters here play nerdy video games

there's a videogame that explains why magnets work?

we learned about fuckin magnets in like 4th grade but i do not remember how they work

miracles afaic

you might've missed mr icp being lauched out of a woman's crotch at 0:46, "the birth of my kids"

more drifted than launched tbh

A walleye to a pelican
In Frisco once I fed:
It was a fuckin bitchass bird,
And 'mid my fanny pack it stirred,
Trying to eat my cell phone.

A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His mouth can hold more than his belly can,
He can hold in his beak,
Enough food for a week.
And fuck you bitch-ass faggots, juggalo for life

ha

I know how magnets work

plant a little seed, and nature grows

I fed a pelican in Reno just to watch him die.

I shot a fish in Frisco as he stole my phone.

A wonderful bird is the pelican,
His mouth can hold more than his belly can,
He can hold in his beak,
Enough food for a week.
And fuck you bitch-ass faggots, juggalo for life

lol'd my ass off at this

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

the best ever psychopathic records band out of denton
were a couple of juggalos
who'd been friends since elementary school

if we have to go there let's at least respect the meter

the best ever clown makeup band outta Houston
had been down with the clown
since their grade school'd expelled them

For once, when at the Frisco bay,
with Faygo and in pensive mood,
a pelican my cellphone ate
or tried to, which I thought was rude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
to recognize these mirakills.

fuckin rainbows.

Yo Shaggy: sho nuff is a fuckin miracle your boys look just like you, 'cause I nailed yo' bitch.

http://www.theonion.com/articles/miracle-of-birth-occurs-for-83-billionth-time,775/

There was a time when rainbow, crowd, and stream,
The dirt, and every common sight,
To me did seem
A goddamn unbelievable fucking miracle.

LET us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherised upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question …
Fucking magnets, how do they work?

YES

curious to know how troo kult juggalos responded to this (it's been out for a while now, yeah?)

The apparition of these rainbows in the sky;
Cellphones in a wet bird's mouth.

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Juggalo

I
Among twenty snowy mountains,
The only moving thing
Was the eye of the juggalo.

II
I was of three minds,
Like a tree
In which there are three fuckin juggalos, bitch.

III
The juggalo whirled in the Faygo fountain.
It was a small part of the pantomime.

IV
A man and a woman
Are one.
A man and a woman and a juggalo
Are one.

How the fuck does that work?

V
I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes,
The juggalo rapping
Or just after.

VI

Icicles filled the long window
With barbaric glass.
The shadow of the juggalo
Crossed it, to and fro.
The mood
Traced in the shadow
An indecipherable cause.

VII
O thin men of Haddam,
Why do you imagine golden birds?
Do you not see how the juggalo
Walks around the feet
Of the women about you?

VIII
I know noble accents
And lucid, inescapable rhythms;
But I know, too,
That the juggalo is involved
In what I know.

IX
When the pelican flew out of sight,
It marked the edge
Of one of many circles
That son-of-a-bitch stole my cell phone

X
At the sight of Faygo
Flying in a green light,
Even the bawds of euphony
Would cry out sharply.

XI
He rode over Connecticut
In a glass coach.
Once, a fear pierced him,
In that he mistook
The shadow of his equipage
For juggalos.

XII
The river is moving.
The juggalo must be high.

XIII
It was evening all afternoon.
It was snowing
And it was going to snow.
The juggalo sat
In the cedar-limbs
Smoking the fattest blunt you've ever seen.

wild pelican and
the golden gate o'er water
a lost ringtone chimes

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And tries to eat my cell phone,
And never stops at all,

so much depends
upon

a fat
juggalo

glazed with fresh
faygo

beside the white
bitches.

XDDDDDDDDDDD

yeah but I think all violent j is saying is "there is fun & wonder to be had in indulging a particular perspective" - it's a very post-LSD sort of reasoning: adopt a perspective, ride with it a while, you don't have to permanently adopt it but inhabiting a perspective is a worthwhile activity

juggalo for fucking life IOW

I'll let my boy Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel field this one:
"The realization attained by this individuality consists therefore in nothing more than this, viz. that it has cast forth this circle of abstractions from its confinement within simple self-consciousness, into the element where they are for self-consciousness, in other words, are expanded into an objective existence. [...] The merely single individuality [...], instead of having taken the plunge from dead Theory into Life, has therefore really only plunged into the consciousness of its own lifelessness and has as its lot only empty and alien necessity, a dead actuality."

yeah but what if we're all like the dream of an alien god

Then you better hope I don't wake up.

miracles are slight disturbances in his state of hypersleep, caused when floating space-rocks lightly brush against his complex multi-branched genitalia

oh hi ned I didn't see you there

today is not a good day for crotch references on ILX

Popul WTF

PEEP THE GIRAFFE

great video clip ledge, feynman otm

"We feel like these haters are the big dumb, popular jocks ganging up on the little class clown scrub."
anti-intellectual semi-pro-wrestlers going to play the nerd card? I always felt ICP were closer in spirit to John Cena (or makeupwise The Undertaker) than Mick Foley.

listening to, like, 5 seconds of their music would tell you otherwise

It's true, I've heard more of Randy Savage's rapping than John Cena's or ICP's.

I am absolutely certain that you, the good people of ILM, will love this.

ugh

The talk starts at 9 PM and you must be 21.

Sounds like a party.

Maybe next year you'll be able to go, Ned.

At long last I will be of age.

strong follow up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKlpMxBX-jk

that sounds like Smashmouth

it does, but "we can have fun/let our nuts hang by the water" is quality

haha, ok, that's pretty great. I wouldn't give up "Steal My Sunshine" for it but today's teens need a feel-good anthem.

I like how many long stretches of it actually discuss really innocuous fun, so it's not like the momentary lapses into profanity and drugs aren't corny punchlines like "oh ha, he set it up talking about hot dogs and roller coasters and the last line of the verse was about fucking" - - you just get the sense that grilling cheeseburgers actually is as important to Juggalo Island as smoking spliffs with cops.

er, "aren't" should be "are" up there

I'm OK with this as long as the next video has more animation and fewer Juggalos.

I feel the exact opposite of that. In fact, I wish the next video wouldn't even include ICP themselves, just juggalos. And no ICP music either. Just interviews with them, maybe a tour of their house in Hazel Park. That'd be my favorite ICP video ever.

these people are so gross, i feel bad for them how theyre left out of society and dont even get to be cool

this song still rules

this song/video makes me feel better when I'm feeling bad until they get to the scientists line and then I go back to feeling bad again

oh this is where we did the poems

This song has definitely gotten stuck in my head before

I think the pelican line is great, of course, but "Crows, ghosts, the midnight coast, the wonders of the world, mysteries the most!" gets my vote because... ghosts? Also, there is a matching ghost in the video, which makes it even better. And then also, crows? Of all of the miraculous birds out there, he picked crows?

was thinking about this song, and this post, like two days ago in the backyard while marveling at how interesting the morning-glory looked up close.
