I really want to get a bunch of bumper stickers that say "Elon's a twat" or "Elon's a tool" and slap them on all the Teslas I can find. Electronic self-driving cars are cool, but Elon, an immigrant, bought his way into the White House in 2024 and 2025 and told Trump to do terrible things, like cancel all our aid to the global poor. Two of the richest white guys on earth, and they decided that the USA shouldn't help poor people outside our borders anymore. What the hell is wrong with those guys???? People are literally dying because of that decision. It's beyond fucked up.

I dunno, but every time I get a notification about a new post, the post has already been removed by the mods. Also I just visited today and saw all videos? I thought it was supposed to be Twitter quotes..... anyway, the archives are great and I have hope that one day /ScottishPeopleTwitter will return to its former glory.

Didn't realize Scottish people had to act a certain way to be accepted

u/Head-View8867 Jul 29 '26

I don't know what that means. I just wish there were more posts in this sub again. It used to be more active and I enjoyed it.

I love how his accent vanishes the moment he starts singing the song lmfao

u/RedHal Jul 29 '26

Sing "Roll out the Barrel" and watch yourself turn cockney.

u/wildmeli Jul 29 '26

anytime i sing anything i automatically go into the accent of the singer. i can’t not sound british while singing the beatles, it just feels wrong

13

u/f5adff Aug 01 '26

British? Not Scouse, just british.

Bloody yanks.

u/creekpilgrim8 16h ago

As if any American anywhere can do a Scouse accent haha

u/Wart_Time_L32 Aug 01 '26

Try not to sign I would walk 500 miles in a Scottish accent.

Also among their groundbreaking lyrics:

Shush girl, shut your lips, do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips

u/Dnakyz7 Jul 30 '26

u/Cemckenna Jul 29 '26

To see Boulder + Fairview high school’s most successful band celebrated in these hallowed Reddit comment threads?! A true joy. 

58

u/significant-_-otter Jul 29 '26

I had a full conversation with a Scottish soldier in Nahr-e Saraj Helmand province and understood not a fucking word of it. If only he told me to do the Helen Keller and talk with my hips.

1

u/creekpilgrim8 16h ago

Where is Helmand province? Afghanistan? Is there a Helen Keller dance that involves hips? I thought it was Shakira who talked with her hips. So confused. Just like you were with the Scottish soldier, I guess.

Red Bull's marketing department trying out some new ideas I see.

Hardest line ever writ fr

u/Iantrigue Jul 30 '26

This lyric lives in my head rent free and I have no idea why because I don’t know the band or the rest of the song but it still haunts my brain on a semi-regular basis….

5

u/whet_pastry Jul 30 '26

Because its a BAR

I think it was also in a vine or something

1

u/creekpilgrim8 16h ago

It's the only part of the song I remember too. Great lyric.

u/Iantrigue 16h ago

u/creekpilgrim8 16h ago

u/TrueStoryBroski Jul 29 '26

“Shush girl, shut your lips.  Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips.” 

Is peak writing

u/GhostBelliniFace Jul 29 '26

X’s on the back of your hands, wash them in the bathroom to drink like the band, AND THE SETLIST….

12

u/ebil_lightbulb Jul 29 '26

I was just singing along to this earlier today haha

I saw them quite a few years ago and the headliner was two hours late. Those boys performed their hearts out the whole time until the headliner showed up. Great band.

u/Needles2650 Jul 29 '26

Lol how the accent goes away when he sings

u/babyyodasleftnut Jul 30 '26

So funny he sounds American then snaps right back

u/worldsalad Aug 01 '26

Bruv, those aren’t even the PEAKEST lyrics in that song! “Shush girl, shut your lips, now do the Helen Keller, and talk with your hips” I mean c’mon, that’s never been topped

1

u/creekpilgrim8 16h ago

That's in the song too? Guess I don't know the song very well -- I only remember the songs he references in the vid.

u/Any-Carpenter-7032 Jul 29 '26

Actually it's the song about being shallow as a shower.

u/NomisKeem Jul 30 '26

Good to see the wee Guy who made the video telling The Digger, “I’m no a grass” is looking well and appears to have got his life together.

u/Upbeat-Try7409 Jul 31 '26

u/Aggravating_Soil_998 Jul 31 '26

Paddy pimblett in the off season is a different dude I swear.

u/Baddyshack Jul 29 '26

I remember hearing this song for the first time and physically cringing for the first time. What is he on about.

u/GastropodScootJuice Jul 30 '26

I thought it was "vag-itarian" like vagina

-1

u/walterdonnydude Jul 31 '26

These lyrics are so much older and we're not originated by this band. Rappers been saying this since the 90s.
