About the Pumped Up Kicks song, there's this brazillian music genre called Funk (don't confuse with the traditional american, 70's Funk, there's no relation), and Funk DJs and MCs have no respect to anything and there's this fantastic funk remix of Pumped Up Kicks that was incredible popular on Brazil and everyone get surprised when you told them that this song is a remix of a song about school shooters.
I am immeasurably pissed off at the fact that I still can’t figure your comment out. I deserve ridicule, and an explanation if you’re feeling generous.
No worries, and sorry for the delayed response. it may be all in my head. I wasn't talking about the greentext or the lyrics really at all. The two songs don't really "sound alike", but they simply have a similar vibe/feel to me in the bass lines, falsetto vs. scratchy distorted falsetto, and each song always reminds me of the other one.
