So it’s Tuesday night, and it feels like some sort of timeless weekend to me. I went up to fetch my sister yesterday, and she’s staying with me this week. It’s been awesome to not be stuck in an office, and really really great to spend some time with her – especially after these last few weeks.
On to the tunage… I’ve been really loving M.I.A lately, and while I haven’t seen Slumdog Millionaire yet, I totally adore the movie’s soundtrack song, Paper Planes. M.I.A is hard-hitting and not all frivolous pop, and the chorus of this song is seriously brilliant. R to the AD in a big way!
I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make ‘em all day
I get one down in a second if you wait
Sometimes I think sitting on trains
Every stop I get to I’m clocking that game
Everyone’s a winner, we’re making our fame
Bonafide hustler making my name
All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money
Pirate skulls and bones
Sticks and stones and weed and bongs
Running when we hit ‘em
Lethal poison through their system
No one on the corner has swagger like us
Hit me on my Burner prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
Already going hell just pumping that gas
All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money
M.I.A
Third world democracy
Yeah, I got more records than the K.G.B.
So, uh, no funny business
Some some some I some I murder
Some I some I let go
Some some some I some I murder
Some I some I let go
BANG BANG BANG! KKKAAAA CHING!
I loooved Slumdog Millionaire, I really did. In fact I was planning a post about the soundtrack, but you beat me to it
I have this song on my ipod, it is really weird and cool.
Can’t wait to see the movie! There’s just something about this song that gets to me, it’s violent and kinda ugly but beautiful at the same time… very weird and cool!
