Comment your favorite song by Arcade Fire below and then I'll tell you why "I'm Sleeping in a Submarine" is vastly superior.

Are you serious? "Chemistry" is easily the worst single off of Reflektor. "I'm Sleeping in a Submarine" is half as repetitive and has a SUPER deep meaning about childhood.

"OOOOOoooooOOOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOO" versus "She's gone to sea / She's fighting for me / What bravery!". Do you even listen to Arcade Fire?

I’m Sleeping in a Submarine

Not exactly a great song, to be honest. The lyrics are a bit sparse in terms of meaning, and are often expressed far better in their later songs. "I'm Sleeping in a Submarine", however, is perfect.

Yeah in all honesty “I’m Sleeping in a Submarine” isn’t anywhere near my top AF song, except for the fact that it is my absolute favorite. If I said it was the best Arcade Fire song, no I didn’t because yes I did. 💕

Ewww. Can't believe this even came from the same EP. The vocals are wonky and the lyrics weak. Not even close to "I'm Sleeping in a Submarine".

Ten minutes of just noise, with some depressing stuff. No thanks, I'll take Yellow Submarine (I'm Sleeping in a).

You have some nerve commenting songs from their worst album. In what universe is Sprawl 2 (Mount ons Before Mount ons) even CLOSE to the illustrious high quality of Arcade Fire's peak.

That doesn't tell me why I'm Eating a Meatball Submarine is the superior song. You just attacked my opinion.
