2)Humans are a two piece electro-folk outfit from Vancouver, BC consisting of members Peter Ricq and Robbie Slade.
2) Humans were a well entrenched Santa Cruz, California semi-surf band, that had played in the area since 1976, originally as The Mysterious People. In 1979 they took the name Humans. Interestingly, the three mainstays (Sterling Storm, Eric Gies and John Anderson) have played together in some fashion since the 1960's in Southern California (Eddie and The Showmen (1963) are the earliest known recordings of the three), working their way up the coast to the idyllic Santa Cruz area.
Sterling Storm's lyrics and voice were reminiscent of Wall Of Voodoo's Stan Ridgway, while bassist Eric Gies' (responsible for some of Humans' other material) wrote mostly quirky love ballads. Most of their songs centered around paranoia, big cities and personal identity crises with a dash of zany love and sex. The playing of both the writers as well as guitarist John Anderson (no, not that John Anderson), and drummers Jerome Deupree and Jim Norris (who rotated through during Humans' I.R.S. period) were top notch. Keyboardists David Larstein and Lee Stewart provide the frantic rhythm that gave their 'near-hit' "I Live In The City" it's dynamic one two punch. While nominally a "surf-band" their style embodied touches of Reggae, R&B and pure bubblegum pop and rock.
Storm, Gies and Anderson were rounded out by a rotating assortment of drummers and sometime keyboardists. They continued to play around the Bay Area into the late 80s and even managed to make a long-form video to accompany their full length I.R.S. LP before calling it quits. Storm is now producing records and one of the two drummers who "rotated on through" during their I.R.S. stint is now in Boston, drumming for both a jazz trio and an alternative rock band.

We were on a compilation called PeacePunx which you can download for free, http://www.reverbnation.com/peacepunx THERE. I encourage you to do so and watch out for a new compilation. Or even submit something for one.

Humans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nice shoes I would totally find you, nice shoes I would totally win.
Nice shoes I would totally find you,
And I won't let you uh let me in.
Yeah, yeah, I tell you all about it.
Shit girl I would totally find you
And shit girl I totally win.
Girl go and get your money! girl go and get your money!
Girl go and get your money! girl go and get your money!
Girl go and get your money! girl go and get your money!
Girl go and get your money! girl go and get your money!
Girl go and get your money! girl go and get your money!
The lyrics of Humans' song "Witness" seem to be about the desire to find and win over women. The repeated phrases "nice shoes I would totally find you" and "shit girl I would totally win" suggest a transactional view of relationships, where the man feels entitled to a woman's attention and affection if he deems her desirable enough. However, the lines "and I won't let you uh let me in" and "girl go and get your money" reveal a darker subtext. The first implies a lack of respect for boundaries and consent, while the second acknowledges the monetary exchange that can sometimes be a part of relationships (such as sex work) but can also be interpreted as the commodification of women.
The repeated chorus of "girl go and get your money" can be read in different ways. On one hand, it can be seen as a call to empower women to take control of their own finances and not rely on men for economic support. On the other hand, it can also be seen as a cynical dismissal of women's worth, reducing their value to the money they can bring in. The song overall presents a problematic view of women as objects to be won or bought, rather than individuals with their own agency and dignity.
