Do You Want to Fight Me?; Venus Hum

Some time ago I searched on Google for “a good band that nobody knows about”. Then, there it was. Venus Hum... love at first sight! Or, first audition.

I even translated its Wikipedia article for Portuguese, so much I loved it! I also downloaded its complete discography for the times when I want to listen a good good electro music.

Their for themselves: “Venus Hum is a trio consisting of vocalist Annette Strean, multi-instrumentalist Tony Miracle, and film-maker Kip Kubin. The band formed in 1999 in Nashville, TN and have released 3 album... Venus Hum (mono-fi), Big Beautiful Sky (Geffen/BMG UK), and The Colors in the Wheel (mono-fi/Nettwerk). Their 4th record, Mechanics & Mathematics, continues the mission to marry pop songs with strange eletronic sounds.”

The song of today was released in 2006 and is from Venus Hum 3rd album, “The Colors in the Wheel”. It’s one of my favorite Venus Hum’s songs. It’s so charming, so sensual... You must hear it! You must hear “Beautiful Spain” and “Montana” too! Well, hear everything, ‘cause I recommend the entire discography!

Kuty kuty kuty huup!

You’re eighty pounds of wreckage in a mason jar
You’re a bit combustible don’t break

So you want to fight me
With your one good eye?
And do you think you can beat me?
Hm, well come on, come on

Now you’re holding back the candy like a one-year-old
If you break in half then you could let it flow
You’re eighty pounds of wreckage in a mason jar
You’re a bit combustible don’t break

Something wicked this way comes
Is it God’s or is it yours?
It’s a bit uncomfortable
Oh, don’t kill the messenger

When you’re throwing out your punches at the rate of snow
If you break in half then you could let it flow
You’re eighty pounds of wreckage in a mason jar
You’re a bit combustible don’t break my heart

So you wanna fight me?
Well, you said you want to fight me?
Oh, come on, come on
