Respect Authority

This isn’t the newest thing in the world, but for those of us who, every few weeks or so, like to spend a period of days living under a rock, the song “Thou Shalt Always Kill” by Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip is pretty fucking awesome in a “that weird Sunscreen Song that came out a few years ago” kind of way, without being so new-agey and appealing primarily to not-quite-entirely jaded baby boomers. The lyrics are funny, insightful, and just edgy enough that you don’t feel like a loser for listening to some British dude with a weird voice preaching at a microphone.

Thou shalt give equal worth to tragedies that occur in non-English speaking countries as to those that occur in English speaking countries.
Thou shalt remember that guns, bitches and bling were never part of the four elements and never will be.
Thou shalt not make repetitive generic music, thou shalt not make repetitive generic music, thou shalt not make repetitive generic music, thou shalt not make repetitive generic music.
Thou shalt not pimp my ride.
Thou shalt not scream if you wanna go faster.
Thou shalt not move to the sound of the wickedness.
Thou shalt not make some noise for Detroit.
When I say “Hey” thou shalt not say “Ho.”
When I say “Hip” thou shalt not say “Hop.”
When I say, he say, she say, we say, make some noise — kill me.
Thou shalt not quote me happy.
Thou shalt not shake it like a Polaroid picture.
Thou shalt not wish you girlfriend was a freak like me.
Thou shalt spell the word “Pheonix” P-H-E-O-N-I-X not P-H-O-E-N-I-X, regardless of what the Oxford English Dictionary tells you.
Thou shalt not express your shock at the fact that Sharon got off with Bradley at the club last night by saying “Is it”.
Thou shalt think for yourselves.
And thou shalt always kill.

Thou shalt also listen to this mashup of the song with A Place To Bury Strangers by the ever-compelling Hood Internet, Thou Shalt Always Fix The Gash In Your Head. And with that, I think I’m about ready to start talking like a normal person again.
