Fuckin' rainbows after it rains

Okej, jag läste om det här först och det är i Internets tidevarv redan uråldrig historia eftersom det är ett halvår gammalt men det är likväl det roligaste jag har sett på länge. Obegåvade, våldsglorifierande och kvinnohatande Insane Clown Posse kom plötsligt och mycket oväntat ut som kristna tidigare i år. Den vetenskapsfientliga/ignoranshyllande singeln Miracles är bland det roligaste jag har sett och hört under hela året.



Man tror att det borde vara svårt att toppa textrader som

Hot lava, snow, rain and fog,
Long neck giraffes, and pet cats and dogs
Fuckin' rainbows after it rains
There's enough miracles here to
blow your brains.

och

Fuckin' magnets, how do they work?
And I don't wanna talk to a scientist
Y'all motherfuckers lying and
getting me pissed.

men Insane Clown Posses intervju i The Guardian är rakt igenom briljant. För min del toppar intervjun rentav videon.

"A giraffe is a fucking miracle. It has a dinosaur-like neck. It's yellow. Yeah, technically an elephant is not a miracle. Technically. They've been here for hundreds of years…"

"Thousands," murmurs Shaggy.

"Have you ever stood next to an elephant, my friend?" asks Violent J. "A fucking elephant is a miracle. If people can't see a fucking miracle in a fucking elephant, then life must suck for them, because an elephant is a fucking miracle. So is a giraffe."

[...]

Shaggy says the idea for the lyrics came when one of the ICP road crew brought some magnets into the recording studio one day and they spent ages playing with them in wonderment.

"Gravity's cool," Violent J says, "but not as cool as magnets."

[...]

"OK, an analogy": "If you're trying to fuck a girl, but her mom's home, fuck her mom! You understand? You want to fuck the girl, but her mom's home? Fuck the mom. See?"

I look blankly at him. "You mean…"

"Now, you don't really feel that way," Violent J says. "You don't really hate her mom. But for this moment when you're trying to fuck this girl, fuck her! And that's what we mean when we say fuck scientists. Sometimes they kill all the cool mysteries away. When I was a kid, they couldn't tell you how pyramids were made…"

"Like Stonehenge and Easter Island," says Shaggy. "Nobody knows how that shit got there."

"But since then, scientists go, 'I've got an explanation for that.' It's like, fuck you! I like to believe it was something out of this world."

För att ytterligare markera hur efter jag är med det här så har Saturday Night Live redan gjort en parodi på Miracles. Det gjorde de typ i maj. Rätt onödigt med tanke på hur väl Insane Clown Posse gjorde det själva.
