What makes you love it?

It has a catchy chorus, I admit, but the lyrics are so... Idk, I'm not into models :lol:

Everything. Literally everything about the song. There's not one part of it that I don't like. 

My second fav is Hammer of the Gods, so maybe I just like weird shit.

The only song ever to get 80211.B in and make it rhyme.

I expect 80211.AC to appear in part II 🥰

It's the only song in which Van's new wave accent is decent.

New poll idea:

Hungry Hungry

or

Hungry Hungry Models

 

If we are calling it "Hungry Hungry Models" 

then we also calling the hit single by Green Day "American Idiot Don't"   

because that the logic these sociopaths are using to call this classic by the wrong name.

Alright. I'm down. 

 

American Idiot Don't...

Hmm, I could get used to that.

Whoa whoa whoa. Not seeing enough love for the best Network song, Spike. Roshambo is another favorite. And I'm also not a fan of Hungry Hungry Models.

As for the new song, it kicks ass! Just waiting on album that I really hope doesn't come out soon to save my wallet.

While we're at it: 

Jesus of Suburbia The! 

Holiday Hear

Boulevard of Broken Dreams Where

Are we the Waiting Unknown..................okay.   That one makes sense.    We're changing that one.  

St. Jimmys Coming.      Let's uh....move on.  

Novacaine Out.  

She's a Rebel She's

Extraordinary Girl In 

Letterbomb *scream*

Wake me up when september ends here

Homecoming, like Letterbomb, is tricky.    Maybe F&*k No!

Whatshername Has.

 

Keep these stupid titles in mind when voting, folks.   

:) 

 

I am LOVING everything we've heard so from MACH II....   

I do hope that the deep cuts are even more bizarre and weird.    You know.   The kind of stuff that makes xray hamburgers seem normal.

What is "Hungry Hungry Models"?    Is is related to "Hungry Hungry" somehow?    :)

Roshambo is definitely a highlight.  I had never heard the word before The Network came along.  I always called it "rock paper scissors".    regional, I guess?  

The Roshambo wikipedia page is pretty interesting.    There's passaging about other weapons, strategies, and even section talking about how bacteria uses this model for attacking.   

Wacky!  

I bet it has something to do with all the scientific stuff the Network guys are into.   It should have been a huge hit single.

These work though.

(The letterbomb one is fucking hilarious. That's what I'm calling it now).

Saying Roshambo is the best is excusable, but Spike? No. 

Not at all. 

That's one of the worst ones.

Spike is the worst?! No way! The way Billie Fink says La Jolla is part of what makes the song great!

That really is the best part of the song, not gonna lie. 

But the only thing I like about the song is the parts where he's not singing/talking.

And it's not the worst. It's definitely bottom five though.

I've often wondered if Roshambo was a track from Cigarettes & Valentines that they just tweaked a little to give it that Network sound. One of the lyrics is even "I don't believe in valentines". 

It's one of the most Green Day sounding songs from that album if you strip away the effects and slight weirdness. I can imagine a more theatrical version of it appearing as an American Idiot B Side or something. 

No, it was clearly the Network heaping rightful disdain upon the capitalistic and vain Green Day's "Cigarettes and Valentines" by stating THEY, the Network, did not believe in "'Valentines".

When they heard this, Green Day immediately ceased production on the album, but they obviously couldn't admit to the public the true story that this simple diss from the Network was what killed it. So they had to make up stories about it being erased and stolen and then a dog ate their homework and the spare master copies.

In a very direct way, the Network was thus instrumental in the creation of classical music album "Speak AMERICAN, Idiot."

Listening to Money Money 2020 (and The Ultimate Test!).   

I put in it in the top 20 best records ever made. 

Anyone else hear "Joe the Robot" instead of "Joe Robot"     

It sounds exactly the same no matter which was I say it.   GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAah

Japanimation Surgery! 

drinking nuclear energy!  

 

"Biological parking lot" is the smartest lyrics to have ever been written.   

By a logical parking.   biological parking lot.    

It's do seep I type backwards when thinking about.  

Listening to the album tonight, it seems The Network definitely have their sound and style figured out.    Will they expand on it and build a future, or will they disappear forever after this album cycle?   

They remind me of Gorillaz in a way.   Like it's a whole other world being created to contain the musicians.    

Otherworldly.   

Very Good. 

Two Thousand Twenty!
 

I'm reading Network lyrics tonight and can anyone crack the code? 

Eight zero two eleven B.

80211B.  

Bosiib? 

 

Some really strange lyrical concepts.   Oh and that.   I've determined Money Money is a concept record.

So uhh.. I don't know if anyone pointed this out yet but my friend @immctntjk123 discovered that you can actually hear "Ashley" backing vocals in the beginning of "Ivankkka Is A Nazi" (just after the countdown).

I have no idea how I didn't notice it before but hey, it's definitely there so Green Day need to sue the hell out of these guys!!!

That took a keen ear to hear that.   I had to listen to Ashley and then switch directly over to Ivankkka to hear it.   Even with some decent headphones it was tough, but you are correct.      

kind of sounds like this:  

aaaah  aaaaah aaaah

Lovely description. Very vivid. I can practically hear it through the screen.

It's so moving.

Yep that's the one.

"But time comes around and I’m not so naive (Ahhh Ahhh)
I’ve finally lost touch 'cause you’re so out of reach (Ahhh Ahhh)
You say that you’re fine but I know that you ain’t (Ahhh Ahhh)
You’re looking like hell and you’re no fucking saint"

Soo.........

I've typed it all out.....and.....

....it's bizarre.    So bizarre in fact, that I am hesitant to post it.   

I had fun while writing it, and pretty much laughed to myself the whole time.   I think I may make a short story out of it.     

That funny thing is that I tried to take the lyrics as literally as possible, but that's what made it so insane.    There are elements and plot points that definitely seem like an early attempt at the St. Jimmy / Whatshername story.   

I don't know if The Network and Green Day worked together during Money Money 2020, or what happened.   But there's definitely some of the same narrative happening on both records.

I would have enjoyed a song called Hungry Hungry Hippos more

Every time he says "models", just scream "hippos". 

Boom, you rewrote the song.
