“Crash into Weird” by Tay Zonday
This song/video opens with many surprising images that I won’t give away. This was VERY expressive, as in art. Expression can be art and there is no need to fear art. This style seemed to be a departure from what he’d previously done. I had to remember not to typecast this artist.
This song seemed to be a battlecry, a protest against conformity. “Why can’t I be allowed to be me”? is the question. I say who I am. This is a must see viewing and listening experience. Even if you didn’t see the video, the music alone would transport you to a techno dance floor. The more I listen, the more I like. Tay’s music seems to tap into something we are conditioned not to reveal.
LYRICS:
“Crash Into Weird” Original Song by Tay Zonday
Sock 1: “Hey Tay! You’re weird!”
Sock 2: “Way too weird for mainstream success!”
Sock 1: Can’t you just be normal?
Tay: “I don’t know. I don’t try to be weird.
It just kind of happens.”
Hey you!
You on drugs?
How you gonna get a job?
Don’t be comin up in
Here with that attitude
Lookin’ funny
Talkin’ funny
Don’t you wanna be somebody?
Better get your look
In line with society!
Better bet
You’re a threat
People watch your every step
They get. nervous when you
don’t expect it
What you gonna do?
Cause you’re only ‘being you
They’re just scared of themselves
Cause they know they’re like you
[Chorus]
Crash into weird
Make ‘em think you’re crazy
Smash into weird
Make ‘em think you’re faking it
Crash into weird
Make ‘em think you lost your mind
Smash into weird
Make a circus act cry
[Noises]
I don’t need any drugs
This is me when I’m sober
You can’t get weirder
So pretenders move over
Is he straight? Is he gay?
Is he black? Is he white?
I’m walking every line
Like batman at night
“Sir, what’s your occupation!”
Well I’m kindof a singer
I kinda get a groove
‘N people shake it ’til they tingle
I’m a deadbeat student
Derilect irresponsible
Dying of ADD
Cause the beat is unstoppable
Too weird for a grammy
Picked by industry farts
At the mental ward you know
I’ll be topping the charts
Follow me to insanity
Uncut humanity
We’re really just normal
But the world is all craziness
[Chorus X 3]
