Funkoars members are Mr Trials (Producer/MC), Uncle Sesta (Producer/MC), Sketchy Hons (MC) and DJ Reflux (DJ)
Funkoars were founded on the unique personalities of four individuals. These larger than life musicians were drawn to each other not just from a love of music, but their light hearted and jovial outlook on life.
It’s these personalities coupled with their prodigious talent that has brought Funkoars their success. The energetic and humorous nature of their lyrics is not something that can be emulated. While they may sometimes walk the thin line between disgusting and ludicrous, it's been this cutting edge mix that has brought their music so much attention.
The Oars’ achievements extend beyond their works as group. Trials is also a prolific producer, having crafted tracks for the likes of Hilltop Hoods, Cross Bred Mongrels, Vents and most recently Drapht‘s album Brothers Grimm. Both Vents and Drapht have had massive success with their respective Trials produced singles, 'Love Song' and 'Jimmy Recard', added to high rotation on Triple J.
Now one of the country's most sought after producers, Trials has his plate full for the immediate future with a new Vents album on the books and a side gig as a dispenser of no-nonsense advice in rhyme form in his regular column for Ralph magazine.
Not happy to rest on their past achievements or be pigeonholed by critics for their inimitable style, the Oars have evolved yet again and will bring a brand new sound to the table. The Hangover is poised to be the most talked about hip hop album from Australia in 2008, hands down.
Mad As Hell
Funkoars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just wanted to say look I'm sorry for not coming to the club.
I know you guys think it's the bees knees.
It's the—it's the surf 'n' turf of any pub menu.
It's the. the Dr Harry of your holidays, but—yeah, well look,
Can you—can you just give me a call
When you're. when you're out, yeah?
Kind of like living life in a vacuum
I don't mean like space and stuff
I mean everybody looking at me saying I suck (you suck!)
Nope, I'm livin' in a paradise
Very nice, packin' one of these them I'm paralysed
When insanity reigns outside of these four walls of terror
Forget a plan to leave, my phone beepin' like a fuckin' beacon
"Hey what you doin' on the weekend?"
Playin' with my dick and peekin' outside of my venetian's
Like BDP did by all means necessary
There's a party at my place, nobody's invited
Keep ringing the door and I keep hidin'
Buy my own island and nobody's allowed inside it
For real
Mate, can you just give me a call when you're done?
You think I'm kinda crazy
I think you mad as well
You wouldn't understand
A thing I'm thinking, I can tell
Take a quick look inside of my world
And see wherever it takes me
If you still think I'm crazy
I think you mad as hell
Oh yeah. Hey mate it's me again.
Hey look, I was just thinking,
I dunno maybe we could go for a jump at the jetty dude.
I think you -
Let's go get a couple of pieces of flake
And some minimum chips. Let's just hang ey
To all my people that be giving it up
In the bathroom tryna divvy it up
You'd better be careful when messin' with them serious drugs
If they can turn Shane Warne into a Hilary Duff
I said "fuck no!", you ain't even need to get fancy
But coughin' in my face like I'm burying family
It's too close!, man I feel like Manute Bol
Jumping through a loophole, I gotta leave it
While I'm still breathin', book in a holiday
Nut stains so old they lookin' like Hollandaise
Running through my red carpet like Bolognese spaghetti
I just wanna celebrate and bust my confetti
Till I'm ready for that big sleep
Drinking piss in a club full of shit like they pig cheeks
See me walking out with nothing more to talk about
You all about hanging out like Mercede Corby mouth
Cause to be honest that whole big night thing, it can go and get fuc—
You think I'm kinda crazy
I think you mad as well
You wouldn't understand
A thing I'm thinking, I can tell
Take a quick look inside of my world
And see wherever it takes me
If you still think I'm crazy
I think you mad as hell
Ey mate. Hey, yeah awesome. Ey, yeah, let's go dancing mate.
Let's do the running man, the robot. Fuck, get out of there bro.
Give me a call
Got that Netflix Original, chilling like Walt Disney
By myself single as the malt in my whiskey
Drink it till I'm mad as hell
These days sex shops only place that I bag a girl
I'm pathetic, but I don't need your empathy
Blowing up my spot like the doll was right next to me
Shit, did you hear what she said to me?
I'mma need a puncture repair kit and Red Bull for energy
Thirty-three years old, turned into a fucking hermit crab
Only time I leave the house, the drive to work and back
Do nothing on my two days off
Just killing boars in a forest then ruining socks
Now I know that I shouldn't stroke my ego man
But it feels so good with Dorito hands
Till the shame comes when I'm by myself
So I guess that I'm mad as hell
Hey bro. It's me, again.
You think I'm pathetic don't ya?
Bit of a nerd, dickhead, drongo.
Well you're wrong bro.
I'm fuckin' pizza pockets mate
You think I'm kinda crazy
I think you mad as well
You wouldn't understand
A thing I'm thinking, I can tell
Take a quick look inside of my world
And see wherever it takes me
If you still think I'm crazy
I think you mad as hell
You think I'm kinda crazy
I think you mad as well
You wouldn't understand
A thing I'm thinking, I can tell
Take a quick look inside of my world
And see wherever it takes me
If you still think I'm crazy
I think you mad as hell
I think you mad as hell
I think you mad as hell
It's me again.
Look, sorry about before.
I—If you're out, I just wanna say Law & Order's just finished and
I'll be fucked if I know what I'm doing for the rest of the night
Funkoars's "Mad As Hell" is a raw and honest depiction of the mental state of a person who has chosen to isolate themselves from the outside world. The song discusses the feelings of anxiety and paranoia towards the outside world, making the person choose to retreat from society. The person depicted in the song is not only struggling with mental health issues but also with an addiction to isolation, drugs, and video games. The lyrics call out the people who believe they can understand what the person is going through without ever experiencing it themselves. The song challenges the listener to take a quick look inside the person's world and see where it takes them, as only then would they truly understand.
The song is addressing the impact of mental health on a person and how it changes the perception of their surroundings. The lyrics suggest that while people believe they know the person's situation or what is best for them, they do not. The person's mental health is driving them to behave in ways that are deemed “crazy” by society, but in the view of the person, it is entirely logical.
Some of the most powerful lyrics in the song suggest that, despite the longing for isolation, the person craves social interaction. They reach out to friends, but only when alone, with no expectation of receiving an answer. They long for someone to understand them, but they know that they cannot hope to explain their frame of mind to anyone outside of it. The song ends on the realization that the person is lost, with no direction or prospect of change.
