Feather Pluckn
POTUS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But that's totally
A-billions of birdies squawkin' out loud
Talkin' in code to clams in the clouds
They send a secret message, they send it by worm
So vibratin' spiders will receive the word
Ten million monkeys all pick up guitars
But nobody taught them how
Five thousand fishies rockin' really, really, really hard
Nobody taught them how
Check out chickie drivin' piggy's little blue car
Nobody taught him how
Mmm, yeah
Yeah
Peace, brother
Well, flies like to fly 'cuz they don't like to stay
They're buzzin' in the ears of the chicken all day
Chicken understand and he peck out the code
Send a subsonic signal through the snot in the middle of an elephant's long wet cold grey nose
But that's totally - feather pluckn' insane
Ten million monkeys all pick up guitars
Nobody taught them how
Five thousand froggies rockin' really, really, really hard
Nobody taught them how
Check out chickie drivin' piggy's little blue car
Nobody taught him how
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, said oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Said oh yeah
Everybody supernova
Everybody supernova
Everybody supernova
Everybody supernova
Oh yeah
The song "Feather Pluckn" by POTUS is a whimsical, nonsensical song about the secret communication of animals and creatures, as well as music being a universal language that does not require any teaching or instruction. The lyrics describe the ways in which different animals communicate with each other, and how they are all able to decipher each other's codes and signals. The chorus of "But that's totally feather pluckn' insane" reinforces the idea that this communication is something that is not easily understood or explained, but rather is a wild and crazy phenomenon.
The song also speaks to the power and universality of music. The lyrics describe ten million monkeys all picking up guitars and rocking out, as well as five thousand fishies rocking really hard, and a chickie driving piggy's little blue car, without anyone teaching them how to do so. The idea is that music is something that is inherent in all beings, and does not require formal training or instruction to create and enjoy.
Overall, the song is a joyful, playful celebration of the natural world and the power of music to bridge gaps and bring beings together.
