CHARIOTS OF THE GODS
Duck Sauce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What is? What is that?
Those floating machines are becoming so perfected
I can see now how the prophecy is being fulfilled
Look up!
We've come to your planet as emissaries of universal intelligence
I'm convinced that the earth is being visited
By intelligently controlled extraterrestrial vehicles
What is it?
Behavior of UFOs in the sky
What?
The so called flying saucers
In other words, are real
Chariots of the Gods!
Uh oh!
Gah!
They're attacking us!
Chariots of the Gods!
Gods
Gods
Gods
Gods
In the beginning was the word
And the word was, 'duck'
And lo the word of 'duck' was 'quack'
The sound that replicates the sound of the grand opening
'Crack', of the primordial egg
And that ex ovo omnia epigenetic moment
In the Garden of Ened
A 'quack' sound that is echoless
To the ears of duck-less mysoginists
Un-attuned to the subtle acoustics of the 'duck' sound
Those ignorami whose minds have not been E-duck-ated in Duckology 101
And who are thus not acquainted with the teachings of duck
And more over, our pulchritudinous duck
Hears throughout the ether
The bial-rhythmnic beats of an electro-chemical fusion of
Techno, funky, vinyl scratching
That makes her tail feathers shake
The lyrics of Duck Sauce's song "Chariots of the Gods" start with a mysterious voice that says "It is time," leading to a group of people looking up at the sky, seeing floating machines that are becoming perfected, leading them to see how the prophecy is being fulfilled. The voice then announces that they have come to Earth as emissaries of universal intelligence, which leads to the group's disbelief that the Earth is being visited by intelligently controlled extraterrestrial vehicles. In response, the voice affirms their belief that the behavior of UFOs in the sky is evidence that flying saucers are real.
The chorus then kicks in, repeating the phrase "Chariots of the Gods" over a funky, electronic beat. The phrase is also mentioned in the second verse, along with the idea of the gods attacking. The third and final verse turns to the concept of the word "duck" and its connection to creation, as well as the importance of being attuned to the subtle acoustics of the duck sound. The song ends with a funky instrumental break.
Overall, the lyrics of "Chariots of the Gods" touch on themes of prophecy, extraterrestrial visitation, and the creation myth of the duck.

Referencing the Bible and the creation story

And more over, our pulchritudinous duck
Emphasizing the attractiveness of the duck being referred to
Hears throughout the ether
The duck is able to hear sounds from all around
The bial-rhythmnic beats of an electro-chemical fusion of
Describing the unique sound and type of music the duck hears
Techno, funky, vinyl scratching
The type of music that the duck is hearing
That makes her tail feathers shake
The music is so good, it is making the duck dance

No joke, this is one of the best opening tracks I've ever heard. Perfectly sets the stage for the rest of the album.

I'm just getting into Duck Sauce. I really love the ironic, absurdist yet cool vibe they're going for especially with the outro.
Aaron Hydro
I grabbed this album on vinyl not knowing what it was. SO WORTH IT! The album gets better every time I play it. I really can't believe I stumbled upon this musical treasure! as was previously stated, QUACK! now let's all go listen to those "biorhythmic beats, of an electrochemical fusion, techno funky vinyl scratching; that makes our tail feathers shake"

Sounds like an old-school action movie song and I LOVE IT!
