Stumble ThisLos Campesinos! are a seven piece indie band from Cardiff, Wales. "Los Campesinos" roughly translates as "The Farmers" (or "The Peasants") in Spanish.
This song is pure awesome.
From Wiki:
the title of the track is a parody of a series of 7" singles on K Records entitled The International Pop Underground. K Records is home to Calvin Johnson, who originally appeared on one of the B-sides of the single - covers of songs by Heavenly and Black Flag. Both Amelia Fletcher and Henry Rollins are namechecked in the single. K Records are further referenced by Los Campesinos! in the lyrics of "Knee Deep at ATP", a song which appears on their debut album.
This track is not featured on the band's debut album.

"I bet you twenty pounds if you knew ten years ago how pretty you'd turn out then you'd never have gotten your ears pierced, but I never got my ears pierced and look how I turned out,
and the last time that you tried listening to music, and reading fiction at the same time, you never finished the chapter, but you finished the song with your chin on your knees like you belong
and i never cared about Henry Rollins
Amelia Fletcher never meant anything to me
but the International Tweexcore Underground, will save us all
Getting the laptop fixed by a professional doesn't make me a pawn and
stamping harder on your FX pedal, won't make you feel any better any more
oh you said "we've gotta bite the hand that feeds" but I was sucking seductively on the fingertips of a civil servant,
said "how you gonna bring the state down when you're propping it up?
with daytime radio
and skimmed milk and soppy bows
just 'cause you're scared to be alone"
and I never cared about Ian MacKaye
Calvin Johnson never meant anything to me
but the International Tweexcore Underground, will save us all
Ooh, this city is run by fucking pigs, and though you say you're my friend, you're not, you're one of them.
and i never cared about...whatever
Sarah Records never meant anything to me
but the International Tweexcore Underground, will save us all"
...
Correct the title please.
Campesinos instead of campesions
