We are only halfway through January, and I am ninety-nine percent sure that OK Go just released the nerd anthem of 2015. “You’re a F-cking Nerd And No One Likes You” is a triumphant rock romper about being a loner who doesn’t necessarily have all the same interests as everyone else.
After 16 seconds of effected guitar buildup, the song explodes into its titular refrain, followed by lead singer Damian Kulash doing a tomato-tomahto style breakdown of nerdy/regular activities: “Instead of T&A you’ve got GoT…” After Kulash assumes the comical perspective of a very meatheaded, drug abusing jock who does “a couple of eight-balls before breakfast every day,” you realize how much better it is to be a nerd.
“You’re a F-cking Nerd And No One Like You” will appear in Hot Tub Time Machine 2, which hits theaters February 20 and features Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, Clark Duke, and Adam Scott. We are guessing the song will likely play under an exceedingly dorky scene involving Duke’s character, Jacob. Perhaps he will time travel back to medieval times and teach historic figures the ins and outs of D&D. Fingers crossed.
OK Go’s new album Hungry Ghosts is out now via Paracadute and you can head here to grab it. Also be sure to catch the dudes when they come through your city this spring by scouting their tour dates. Now excuse us while we play this on repeat until 2016.
Only OK Go could service this song so right and so wrong at the same time. I just hope this isn’t the funniest thing about Hot Tub Time Machine 2. The original caught me off guard. I didn’t expect to have as much fun as I did. Fingers crossed that the number two does not suffer from sequelitis.
has tumblr imploded from outrage yet?
that was beautiful, i laughed and enjoyed it the whole way through. KHALEESI TITS
Well, that was awesome.
An OK Go song without a crazy awesome single-shot video? I feel very cheated.
They’re probably waiting for SD Comicon to film it.
“I rape tigers”? Like Tigger? Or Tony the?
No, Detroit!
