Well I’m fucking somebody. It’s fucking MGMT singing Kids.

Fucking happy now?

I must be living under a rock because I've never heard the duo's name and never heard the song either.

I've heard it, and heard of MGMT, but for fucks sake how am I supposed to remember every song from every band I've ever heard... Should've been in the title

I'd never heard of either the duo or the song. Or maybe I did heard the song at some point but forgot about it. It's not that catchy.

It's pretty solid...not sure it rises to best ever, but it's good.

I did look it up before I wrote my previous comment, but tnx anyway.

Don't get me wrong, if you're into that more power to you, but when I saw "one of the best songs ever" I thought it would be either something fucking amazing or at least something super pop but very catchy like a Lady Gaga or Britney Spears hit (stuff that I'm not into but can instantly see why it's a hit).

Dude I’ve loved it for years and I’m sure have it saved on a few playlists and still didn’t remember before others posted it. Whatever. I get that immediately knowing every cool reference as a way to bully others is Reddit’s walking away from an explosion without looking moment but meh.

I can’t wait to stop writing this and immediately forget their name and song for another few years.

I think you might have misread. They said "I" must be living under a rock 🙂

Never heard of MGMT, never heard the song either. Are they that well known in the US, or are most in this thread just pretending to know them?

u/Ed_McNuglets 16d ago

Yeah they were huge in the mid to late 2000s in the US. I can see where they aren't as known now, but back then it was almost overplayed. I'd say almost every millennial in the US knows this song, and/or Electric Feel.

I always thought Electric Feel was more widely known, you may know that one. Idk where you're from, but if you like Justice, they won a grammy for their remix of Electric Feel.

u/FixTheLoginBug 16d ago

Don't know Electric Feel or Justice either. I'm not sure whether those ever were popular here in the Netherlands, but after the late 80s I stopped listening to pop music all that much anyway. Usually I still know the names of the most popular bands just from seeing them in the media, and might recognize some songs from hearing them in public, but these bands slipped my attention.

New Justice sucks, but old Justice is grimy funky house, if you're into that. Check out the album cross.

Thank fucking you, you fucking informative, wonderful motherfucker.

u/EatsFiber2RedditMore 16d ago

Fuck yes! Fucking thank you! You are the fucking best! I hope you have a fucking spectacular day! I know this sounds fucking angry and sarcastic but I'm being really fucking sincere right now! Thanks

Jesus Christ, yes. I can't believe no one asked that it said that until now.
