Best acronym in "F.E.A.R." by Ian Brown

Forget elephants aren't real
Fidget even after rohypnol

xp yeah that one was a bit of a wtf option for me too. figure i've only ever heard the radio edit which blanks out the fist syllable.

freudian typo

"Fantastic expectations; amazing revelations" just for the way he sings it.

Yeah, lyrically a bit juvenile but he just about pulls it off.

I like this song too.

Yeah, I'm tending towards "Fantastic expectations; amazing revelations" for the same reason, but "Fallen empires are ruling" has a similar pull. (Although I always thought it was "fallen empires are rolling" till I looked it up, and I think that would be a better line...)

Fidget even after rohypnol

IIRC, another minor blip on the charts at this time was the Prodigy's rohypnol-themed comeback smash "Baby's Got A Temper"...

Too much 'motivational slogan' for me.

Yeah it's a bit much in that regard, I agree.

however, chuck them all into a song, moving quickly from one to the other, and it diminishes all of them. In a good way.

I am ALSO voting for "Fantastic expectations; amazing revelations" just for the way he sings it. I like how he sings "Find earth and reap," too, though.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

fancy eating a rhino?
fantastic extra angel rhombus
folded ears are ringing
fundamentally emaciated arse rocket
fucking ended aggravated robbery

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

You know in Celebrity Fit Club Gary Busey claimed fear stands for "False evidence appears real." One of his many insane acronyms.

So...what is this song about, anyhow?

I think it's about being a fat stoner shitbag.

i think it's about turning your 'fears' into something positive and constructive. .. although the line "forgive everybody and remember" seems ironic given his bitter, longstanding, and public feud against John Squire.

I like the possibility that it might be the other way around - like all these positive slogans have a dark undercurrent, they're easy to say but you're afraid to actually make them happen or something like that.

I think the last two posts have great ideas, but Noodle Vague wins again.

I think it's about being a fat stoner shitbag.

lol

watched someone play five minutes of one of those Boggle-like cell-phone games where you find all the words in a given set of letters, and now i have this song stuck in my head for some reason. "final execution and, resurrection, freeing excellence affects reality, finding everything and realizing..."
