The lyrics to Lemon Demon's song, "123456 Pokemon," are a bit hard to decipher as they seem to be a collection of seemingly random phrases. However, upon closer examination, the lyrics appear to be a humorous and absurdist take on various pop culture phenomena. The repeated phrase "123456 Pokemon" references the immensely popular video game and anime franchise, while the question "Who you gonna vote for?" is a nod to the 2008 presidential election, specifically Barack Obama's campaign slogan "Yes, we can."

This reads overwhelmingly like a procedurally generated song.

@Boppercat
@@peggylova911I want to be a teacher of English or music just to play lemon demon and deportaz as education.
But I also know that teachers are paid a very small amount and it may not be worth it.
@StaleCrackerJackBox
I like to imagine Neil Cicierega going insane over the elections and he spends DAYS making this song. Each little note, sound, instrument. All Neil - All alone: in a very small homemade studio in his home.
He just hits 'record' than runs to the camera. '123456 POKEMON!' He says smiling into the camera.
What we don't see is the 8 minutes of crying he edited out.
