Their live performances are spastic spectalces in which the robots spit their drunken flows over a gritty mix hip-hop beats and nintendo bleeps.
Nuts
8-Bit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm grabbing my nuts.
I'm grabbing my nuts.
I'm grabbing my nuts.
I have a poodle named Bobby.
He likes to lick the chili.
He doesn't run on batteries,
I'm grabbing my nuts.
I'm grabbing my nuts.
I'm grabbing my nuts.
I'm grabbing my nuts.
Rosemary is my neighbor.
She likes to eat sweet meat.
She had a car that's brown and clean
And is also obsolete.
I'm grabbing my nuts.
I'm grabbing my nuts.
I'm grabbing my nuts.
I'm grabbing my nuts.
I like to play with Legos.
My childhood is a bathos.
Would you please let go of my Eggo?
Or I'll kick you in the head-o.
The lyrics of 8-Bit's song "Nuts" are peculiar and obscure, to say the least. The constant repetition of "I'm grabbing my nuts" creates a sense of absurdity and comicality in the listener's mind. One might argue that the artist is trying to express his rebellious and carefree attitude by holding onto his masculinity, represented through the imagery of his "nuts." However, the lyrics quickly take a turn towards the bizarre as the artist talks about his poodle named Bobby who likes to lick chili, and how he wishes he was a chimpanzee. This can be viewed as a commentary on society's expectations of what is considered "normal" or "acceptable," as the artist yearns for a non-conventional pet like a chimpanzee. The mention of Rosemary, the neighbor who likes to eat sweet meat and has an obsolete brown car, adds to the overall absurdity of the song. The use of abstract and unrelated images can be interpreted as 8-Bit's way of mocking society's obsession with order and structure, and instead embracing the chaos and randomness of life. The last stanza reveals the artist's love for playing with Legos and expresses his frustration at someone trying to take his Eggo waffles. This can be seen as a metaphor for the artist's need to protect and defend his creative freedom and artistic expression.

This is why I always go searching out 8bit remixes that aren't just from the big channels. I love it when artists put their own spin on it and sacrifice accuracy to keep the vibe of the song. This is only one I found that keeps that powerful energy the chorus has and I love it. Thank you for making this!
@Tojux_
You somehow ALWAYS manage to make me like your covers more than the originals. Amazing as always 👌
@chickensandwich9977
Spy x Family is one of the only animes where I actually prefer the outro over the intro
(Visually. The intro music is still such a banger)
@danieldi5934
Agree, the ED music is so satisfying and fit so well with the visual. It just make you want to hug Anya 🥜
@Boomdude67
I agree in the case of season 2
@WishMakers
You are seriously the VRC6 master. I've managed to find multiple covers of yours independently and not realize it was the same person every single time. I was sitting here like "where on Earth did this person come from" and the answer was not out of nowhere, that's for sure!!
Absolutely adore that beat improv in the star of second verse, btw. Extremely funky
@titanofplasma1129
Those pitch bends for the lead, tho... just perfect
@punchyAC
Does this mean you'll be doing the ending eventually?
@megabaz9

@punchyAC
@MegaBaz oh shoot, well i know which one i gotta find then. Musta missed it
