Pitchfork labeled Deerhoof as "the best band in the world.” The New York Times described them as “one of the most original rock bands to have come along in the last decade.” From their humble beginnings as an obscure San Francisco noise act, they've become one of indie music's most influential bands with their ecstatic and unruly take on pop.

Super Duper Rescue Heads!
Deerhoof Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me to the rescue, me to the rescue
Hello, hello, you lucky so-and-so
Hello, hello, you lucky so-and-so
Away, oh
Get away, get away
Get away, get away
Get away, get away
You, to the rescue
You, to the rescue
Alone, alone, I'll never be alone
The lyrics to Deerhoof's song Super Duper Rescue Heads! are highly repetitive, reflecting the themes of the song. The first four lines are sung twice and introduce the concept of rescuing someone or being rescued. The phrases "me to the rescue" and "you to the rescue" can be interpreted in multiple ways, depending on the listener's perspective. It could be viewed as a declaration of self-sufficiency, with the individual announcing their ability to rescue themselves. On the other hand, it could represent a call for help, a plea for someone to rescue them from their current situation.
The next two lines, "Hello, hello, you lucky so-and-so," create a playful tone, inviting someone to join the singer's rescue mission. The repetition of "get away" suggests that whatever is being rescued from is dangerous or problematic. In this context, the line "alone, alone, I'll never be alone" could be interpreted as a reassurance to the rescuers or an assertion of independence. Throughout the song, the lyrics are highly repetitive and evoke a sense of urgency or insistence. The song seems to be addressing themes of self-reliance, rescue, and isolation.

Mad props to Natsumi for eerily reminding me of Bjork, then Kate Bush, then The Wicked Witch of the West.
