3289. “Future Kings” by Gogol Bordello

Bizarre fan video:

“Future Kings” caused my wife to comment “this is annoying to listen to – it just sounds like screaming.”

She has a point (though I disagree with the “annoying” part). This is probably the most punk rock of their gypsy punk songs. It almost sounds like its a derived from grunge with little flourishes of accordion or violin here and there.

It does have one of my favorite bits of Gogol Bordello lyric, however:

Don’t sleep right now
Only future kings
They want romance
They started marketing
They started the web and graphic design
Research catalogs
Of course they’re lying

A great little picture of arrogant young men trying to pick up women with false credentials.
