OK, so I know most people think the 90’s were happy times, filled with nothing but Seinfeld and roofies, but there was a dark side to the decade as well.  Failed Internet companies, the Atlanta Braves’ pitching staff selling its collective soul to the Devil, the H.O.R.D.E. Tour, all these things represent the 90’s trying to make us sad and scared.

The Prodigy is a fine group of young fellows from England.   They have had a very long career and are still making music.  And I don’t give a shit about any of that because this video scares me.  I know they look sort of normal in the banner pci but I assure you THEY ARE NOT!  They are terrible monsters.  And I don’t just mean the bald guy and the black guy.  Even the other ones.  The ones with the sweaters.  They scare me now, too.  Mostly because until I went looking for a picture I didn’t even know those three normal looking guys were part of the band at all.  They might look normal but they are in on it with their monster buddies.

You know how vampires have to have a regular person as a helper?  The guy who can go out in the daytime and drive cars and drink soda?  That’s who those guys are for The Prodigy.  They drink sodas and make the monsters come near me and scare me. How else do you explain a band whose songs only have one verse and chorus that they repeat over and over again?  That’s not how the Indigo Girls do it.  Or Lisa Loeb!  Or Chris Isaak!  Because they aren’t monsters and they don’t want to kill me with their weird Britishness and creepy eyes and faces.  After reading the lyrics, the song might be about Nintendo, though.  So I guess the moral is to not let British monsters into your house to play Nintendo, even if they have normal looking people who come over in the daytime and ask nice.

Just shoot any British motherfuckers who come near you.

And just in case you think I’m racist, the black guy is scarier.  Video and lyrics after the jump.  .

The Prodigy – Breathe

Breathe with me

Breathe the pressure
Come play my game I’ll test ya’
Psychosomatic addict insane!
Breathe the pressure
Come play my game I’ll test ya’
Psycho-somatic addict insane!

Come play my game
Inhale, inhale, you’re the victim!
Come play my game
Exhale, exhale, exhale!

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Come Breathe with me
Breathe with me

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Breathe with me

[REPEAT CHORUS]
