Antsy Pants is part of a musical movement called "skankoustic" that was started by a Erie Pa band called Nine Brothel Heist.
as stated on the antsy pants myspace:
"chris clavin, from plan-it-x records asked kimya dawson to record a song for the plan-it-x compilation cd. kimya was on tour in europe and didn't really feel like writing and recording a song on her own. she saw this as the perfect opportunity to fulfill her dream of starting a band with leo from bear creek, her 12 year old hero. she asked leo to record a song with her and he was excited to do it. she thought it would be really fun to get a bunch of her other friends in annecy, france involved too. so she got together with leo, angelo spencer, ben lupus, jane kidder, billy jet pilot, howard hughes, and her friends jarrod and emily (from port townsend, wa) who were on tour as the solvents. they recorded the song "amazing kids doing amazing shit". it was so fun they decided to make a whole album. so some fun collaborations, great singing by marie, awesome hang outs, and trips to the ice cream store later the album was done. this album is what you get when you take people who are huge fans of each other and put them in room together with an 8 track. there is a lot of love and friendship in this project. and it kind of happened by accident."

I am a vampire
I am a vampire

vampire
I am a vampire
I have lost my fangs
I am a vampire
I am a vampire
I am a vampire
I have lost my fangs
So I'm sad and I feel lonely
So I cry and I'm very angry
And I eat some garlic
So I'm no more satanic
Yeah yeah
I am a vampire and I'm looking in the city
But the pretty girls don't look at me
Don't look at me
Cos' I don't have my fangs
Cos' I have lost my fangs
I am a vampire
I am a vampire
I have lost my mouth organ
I am a vampire
I am a vampire
I have lost my mouth organ
So I get bored and I shout
So I eat pop corn and I put on weight
And I sing but my voice is breaking
And I want to play the guitar
But my guitar is out of tune
I am a vampire and I'm walking in the city
But the musicals don't play with me
Don't play with me
Cos' I don't have my mouth organ
Cos' I have lost my mouth organ
The song "Vampire" by Antsy Pants is a quirky and humorous take on the classic concept of a vampire. The repetition of "I am a vampire" throughout the song highlights the constant struggle the singer faces in trying to escape their vampire identity. The line "I have lost my fangs" suggests that this vampire has lost their power and possibly their confidence, leading to feelings of sadness and loneliness.
The second half of the song explores the vampire's attempts to cope with their loss. They eat garlic to distance themselves from their former "satanic" state, they wander the city looking for companionship but are ignored by the pretty girls, and they try to distract themselves by eating popcorn and attempting to play the guitar, but are frustrated by their inability to find fulfillment in these activities. The loss of the vampire's "mouth organ," a possible reference to a harmonica or other wind instrument, could symbolize the suppression of their voice or creativity.
Overall, the song seems to comment on the struggle to find one's identity and purpose in a world that seems to dismiss or reject those who are different. It also speaks to the frustration of losing one's talents or abilities, and the struggle to find new sources of joy and fulfillment.
