[Spoken Word - dry, deadpan, female]
The Angine de Poitrine situation... is crazier than you think.
[Verse 1]
[microtonal guitar fuzz enters, harp loop continues]
Two masked Canadians from Saguenay
Sawed extra frets and they walked away
Khn de Poitrine on the looping crime
Klek on the kick in a non-Western time
[Pre-Chorus]
Helmets like Daft Punk, jumpsuits like Slipknot
Kiss called and asked could they borrow the plot
Anonymous, microtonal, absolutely fine
Chéri, c'est encore Angine de Poitrine
[Chorus]
Don't be afraid to be weird
Don't be afraid to be weird
But if you're not good — and this part is key —
Maybe get good first, maybe get good first
[Verse 2]
Then Rick Beeto — (I might've spelled that wrong)
Broke the chords down for ten minutes long
Portnoy approves, Grohl whipped out his phone
King Gizzard meerkats standing where they stand
Algorithm's on fire and we're not alone
[Pre-Chorus]
[loop pedal stutter, harp glissando]
But please — and this is non-negotiable —
Keep your bare feet OFF the pedalboard
It's not aesthetic, it is despicable
Reverb does not absolve a single toe
[Chorus]
Don't be afraid to be weird
Don't be afraid to be weird
But if you're not good — and this part is key —
Maybe get good first, maybe get good first
[Bridge]
[half time, microtonal harp solo, vocoder backing]
[Vocoder] Wear a sock, wear a shoe, wear a slipper, wear a boot
[Vocoder] Anything fabric between flesh and the loot
Of pedals you've curated since two thousand and ten —
Angine, Angine, Angine de Poitrine
[Final Chorus]
[double time, full energy, harp glissandos]
Don't be afraid to be weird!
Be a Québécois math rock chest-pain dream!
Be a mask, be a meme, be the bonkers thing Grohl saw —
But if you're not good — get good first
[Outro]
[harp arpeggio fading, return to spoken word]
[Spoken Word - dry]
So... don't be afraid to be weird.
But if you're not good...
maybe get good first.
[Fade Out]
