The lyrics to Battles's song "Ice Cream" are repetitive and nonsensical, creating a hypnotic effect on the listener. The song's opening lines, "Like a tight, tight, tight! Like a right, right, right!" are sung with urgency, building up the energy of the song. The repeated phrase "Dame un helado derritiéndose" means "give me a melting ice cream" in Spanish, adding a playful and tongue-in-cheek element to the song. The phrase is repeated throughout the song, creating a sort of call-and-response effect between the lead singer and the listener.
The middle section of the song features the phrase "My momma, overnight, night, night" which seems to be a non-sequitur and adds to the overall surreal and absurd feeling of the song. The lyrics continue to repeat "Dame un helado derritiéndose" until the end of the song, with the addition of "Simple yes my friend!", which reinforces the simplicity and catchy nature of the song.
Overall, "Ice Cream" is a fun and lighthearted song that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a song that is meant to be enjoyed for its catchy beat and playful lyrics, rather than dissected for deeper meaning.

Kind of a combo here: my all time favorite song with a video directed by my favorite directing crew, CANADA. This has never left my playlist since the day it came out.

Listening to ‘Close to the edge’ by Yes. Battles are very reminiscent of this. Both are great by the way!

Rick Wakeman had the best keyboard tones, definitely hear them here. Battles probably has the best sounding keys of any modern band
