This is my absolute favorite comment to a song on RP, ever. I think of it every time I hear this song, be it on RP or not.

I miss trekhead.

Hello Alanna and William. It´s interesting what kind of german tracks you play. I never heard of RJD2 before i listenened here. I have a wish for a other longtime sucessful german band called "Element of Crime" One of my favourite songs is "Wenn der Winter kommt". Check it on spotify or youtube please.

Okay, there is some sort of similarity to a song from the 70s in this... still trying to put my finger on it, something with the horns...

There is certainly a Michel Fugain et le Big Bazar vibe in that section.

GREAT TUNE!! I had never heard of him prior to RP. Now, the more I hear it, the more I like it! Thanx RP!

Istanbul is my home town :):)
If you happen to like ethnical kinds of music, I can recommend you a nice "Istanbul band" Ayyuka - Sömetr (Album). Give it a try.

I couldn't believe it when I saw my "Marvin" English lyrics re-posted on some of the lyrics sites.  I was just posting what I THOUGHT I heard for the entertainment of RP listeners.  LOL  This is how rumors get started...

This screams out for "Istanbul not Constantinople" from They Might Be Giants to follow.

listening to this with headphones is like when the wind stops blowing in Chicago. I feel like my head is sling shotting forward when the music stops and restarts. I like it. Woke me up.

Picked up both Deadringer and Since We Last Spoke after what I've hard on RP. The former is now one of my favorite albums, the latter is really starting to grow on me.

Love to hear more like this.

Is the band name supposed to be a pun on R2D2? Even the cameras (?) on the cover remind me somewhat of R2D2's eyes

i'm usually a fan of rjd2, but this track is just cheesy and annoying (on first listen, at least).
