Andrew Bird - Fake Palindromes Lyrics

Henry (impulse)💜

Finally 😜😜

My old Myspace song!! 💀😂💀🚺👵

The Andrew bird gateway drug

Anyone watching in 2019?

This classic never gets old

Obviously

I've been trying to find one live version that is close to the studio version, all his live improvisations made this song unrecognizable...

"Orang yang berlagak bodoh biasanya mampu dapat lebih banyak info berbanding mereka yang berlagak tahu" - Goji Bundy.

perfect girl for jeffrey dahmer

love this song but the lyrics are just creepy hahaha

That first hook always gives me chills.

discovered andrew bird around 10 years ago. this was one of the first songs. damn i feel old.

Bir an erkin koray gibi faydası yoktur gözlerdeki yaaaşın diye fırlayacak sandım o nasıl intro be kardeşim

Wow 2008?!

"Fake Palindromes"

My dewy-eyed Disney bride, what has tried
Swapping your blood with formaldehyde? 
Monsters?
Whiskey-plied voices cried fratricide!
Jesus don't you know that you could've died
(you should've died)
With the monsters that talk, monsters that walk the earth

And she's got red lipstick and a bright pair of shoes
And she's got knee high socks, what to cover a bruise
She's got an old death kit she's been meaning to use
She's got blood in her eyes, in her eyes for you
She's got blood in her eyes for you

Certain fads, stripes and plaids, singles ads
They run you hot and cold like a rheostat, I mean a thermostat
So you bite on a towel
Hope it won't hurt too bad

My dewy-eyed Disney bride, what has tried
Swapping your blood with formaldehyde?
What monsters that talk, monsters that walk the earth

And she says, "I like long walks and sci-fi movies
If you're six foot tall and east coast bred
Some lonely night we can get together
And I'm gonna tie your wrists with leather
And drill a tiny hole into your head"

1:53 My do-it-all Disney bra. XD

688,886th view, actual palindrome

so was the 1441th like. This is fun.

A TRIBE CALLED MAPQUEST!

Formaldehyde could have died, would of cried, should have tried . With the math teachers who walk and crawl all over the Earth.

My dewy eyed disney bride.....i loved her so

Yeah ... Well, carry on doing the formaldehyde, Josh Case. You'll find out why it shouldn't be used indiscriminately or, even at all by untrained individuals.

I'm here thanks to The good wife. a great song!

Me too ✌

Jelena W. omg me too

same lol

Me too !

Jelena W. I’m glad to know I’m not the only person that looks up songs from tv shows.

It returns

I remember the first time I heard this and being legitimately shocked by "drill a tiny hole into your head". I hadn't realized the song is as dark as it is.

Number 7 on the list and I still don't feel like I can die happy

I get the ref .

I dont get the reference, though would love to

She's the kind of girl you DON'T bring home to momma.

I listened to this song because I visited a website that listed "10 Songs you must hear before you die". This one was #7 on the list and I'm starting to ask myself, "Where the hell did this guy get his music taste from? So far all these songs are gay. Thumbs down.

+Dwayne Dwayne Best critic on youtube. You need to make your own list to keep the gay out.

I'm right there with ya

Falindromes...

These lyrics are ffffd-up. Listen to them carefully. Death kit. Drill tiny hole into your head. Swap your blood for formaldehyde, et al. Do not try any of these at home, kids ...

+mrm cairns What's wrong with formaldehyde? I do it all the time.

+Josh Case all bout dat formaldehyde lyf!

Does anyone else like long walks and sci-fi movies?

I like 6 foot tall and east coast bred. /|\

my long walks become sci-fi movies

I'm 6' 2" from Connecticut.

These comments are amazing.  "Andrew Bird... hey it's better than Dubstep" -Some 14 year old European kid

LOVE this song. Totally reminds me of Modest Mouse's style

well the variety and uniqueness does resemble them o.o

@Aashi Dhaniya
How so?

@Michael Stickler Sounds like their old stuff. Not the new, pop-rock junk. They used to sound like a garage band lol.

I totally follow you! That's how I found this song. These two stellar bands share a lot of similarities

this comment really is upsetting.........

"The mysterious production of eggs" makes me think of pokemon games, haha

Its like a calm sea being hit by a tornado

Every time I sleepwalk to the kitchen for a snack at night the intro to this song plays in my head.

Do you miss her though?

Probably the most colourfull song i ever heard :)

awesome.

I am seventeen when I listen to this song... Ahh 2007, summer of love.

All been there. Luckily Andrew Bird only slightly reminds me.

Only if you capitalize all the letters and reflect the second "N" from the first.

I can't respond properly to that.

This song
I haven't listened to it since the first time I kissed the girl that broke my heart.
I still miss her I guess
or else I wouldn't be here
fuck this is beautiful
I miss her

say12thebear this is so sad

My name's a real palindrome :)
Hannah

is that why there are episodes of bubble guppies on here?

I'm not planning it, but if I'd accidentally get a kid will force upon him a musical education such as Birds' songs; then forbid him to make reduntant and pointless comments on his own age--- after reading my own comment I understand better why I'm not planning of having any kid.

Right. And what kind of degree have you acquired?

Well educated?
What are u doing here?
youtube is for 16+

I'm 12 and what is this?

I'm 14, high IQ, not as well educated probably and I agree with StereoLove421 whole-heartily

I've come here because of Jeffrey Brown.

Ridiculously good

I read your comment three times... good show :) I had to read it as "lithp" the second time to get the whole meaning.

this is pretty good

I agree that this isn't ironic exactly. I'm not sure there is a spot on word for what that is, schadenfreude describes why it's funny but not the actual convention that we're seeing here. Someone who is good with greek latin or french should come up with a new word to describe words that both describe someone but are unusable by the same time of person they describe by their very nature (another would be the word "lisp").

Actually.

Irony; The expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.

And yet many choose to be stupid.

who are you quoting?

Adore is a fantastic word, and you can use it whenever you like, it'll just prove you have a better vocabulary than most thirteen year olds. Don't listen to the haters, they're just Jealous.

Using adore makes you sound like a homo, and that will make middle school real difficult for you.

this music is so much better than that crap on the radio

1/10 got me to reply.

child molestation isn't funny

I am literally a fetus and I want you to shove your thumbs up button as far up my ass as physically possible.

I'm 18. I just feel obligated to mention it.

Because "Why would you want to read Hamlet?"

the only thing that could of made this song better was if it was longer :)

I am a mixed martial arts fighter, and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitor, and I listen to this song before every fight and match I have. It provides me with a fluid cerebral aggresion oppose to a physical aggression that other types of music gives you.

You can be whatever you want on the internet...

You used the word 'adore'.

Thank amazon for cd's for 1 cent (:

You'll find a lot of us.

Not knowing the meaning of irony. Funny. And far too often.

Come to Australia now.

She said I like long walks and sci fi movies

Andrew Bird est un artiste un vrai,

My dewey-eyed disneybrau wood is dry.

@BlackStarKeepShining It is the last of several songs derived from his earlier work trepanation. It was written about an unusual personals ad he saw. He has made that less obvious in this one, and added several phrases that are almost palindromes (Dewey-Eyed -> Deye-Yewed) in because he thought it matched the nature of the music... and he seemingly thought of them on a long car ride. xD Enjoy!

Interestingly, "Fake Palindromes" is not a palindrome.

I love this song... But I don't really know what it's about to be honest. Anyone wanna help me out?

@SquirrellOFC I never said aibohphobia is not a palindrome I said it is not a word, which it isn't.. but yeah I get the joke

this, is love at first hear.

@FruitGod I guess he was making a fake palindrome then eh.

@FruitGod Really? Is humor a word in your dictionary?

read my review of Andrew Bird and Sufjan Stevens here
allsoundsmusic.blogspot.com/2011/11/midwests-finest-musicians-andrew-bird.html

@Treehugger22293 thats not true aibohphobia isnt even a word

... i like long walks and sci-fi movies. this is my life in a song.

I loved this from the first second

I keep waiting for Childish Gambino to rap on something of Andrew's like he did with Two Weeks.

@hugs4thugs I think someone has misunderstood the reference. I think someone needs a culture lesson :)

@WTFRawrtube i think someone has misunderstood the word palindrome.

@axehero123 It's alright son, we all are.

Andrew must come from Ipswich.. you know it is a palindrome of Bolton.

@TheDukeFan96 Palindromes arent deseases mate.

I've got blood in my eyes for Andrew Bird. <3

@SamueltheSwift that's pretty awesome

@axehero123 me too!!!!

@killkill0 Lol, your book fails....

Hey uh... I have a confession to make. I'M LOVE ANDREW BIRD.

i just saw him live. having INTENSE withdrawls.

@catvamp13mishka
When you examine it, it's about a murderess on a dating site. Excellent song though.

best baroque song i've ever heard!
