A Perfect Circle - So Long, And Thanks for All the Fish LIVE at JK

"So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish"
Time is money and money's time
We wasted every second dime
On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps
And flags, and plastic surgery
Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom
Ali and Leia have moved on
Signal the final curtain call
In all its atomic pageantry
Bravissimo, hip-hip hooray
For this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away
What a radiant crescendo
Ticker tape parade
Our hair and skin
Like Marilyn Monroe
In an afterwind
Time is money and money's time
We wasted every second dime
On politicians, fancy water
And guns, and plastic surgery
Like our Prince and Reenie's mom
All the dolphins have moved on
Signaling the final curtain call
In all its atomic pageantry
Bravissimo, hip-hip hooray
What a glorious display
Melt our joyous hearts away
Under the mushroom cloud confetti
Hip-hip hooray
For this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away
What a radiant crescendo
Hip-hip hooray
Hip-hip hooray
Ticker tape parade
Our hair and skin
Like Marilyn Monroe
In an afterwind
Time is money and money's time
We wasted every second dime
On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps
And flags, and plastic surgery
Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom
Ali and Leia have moved on
Signal the final curtain call
In all its atomic pageantry

A song about overconsumption and materialism, brought to you by mercedes benz

[@jamesharris9993]

Think it was Maynard's way of giving a middle finger on national television.🤣

[@crownstupid]

We have to keep the lights on man. Don't be so heinous. A lot worse corpos than MB.

[@pdog547]

@@crownstupid it's just the fact that there's a corporate logo there at all. It's not like it's BP but it's still a logo. I'm sure Maynard thought it was hilarious

[@damo9961]

You dont hear the positive undertones in this song? It's celebrating our mad, fleeting, pointless existence.

[@Scp716creativecommons]

Any medium for a good message, or a bad one that ought be heard

[@McClain_Train]

Maynard is like “shit. They can see me”

[@markwildt5728]

😂

[@Firebreather01]

Maynard’s voice control is incredible, even this far into his career.

[@OneMansLoss]

* Especially this far into his career

[@WillWindWonder]

@@OneMansLoss I think he's quite aware of how his voice has changed over the years. He knows what he's capable of and what he's not. Many singers merely assume they can just keep doing what their elastic vocal cords of youth allowed.

[@danbrown4772]

that audience have no idea of what is happening in front of them, they are witnessing genius

[@user-cc1hl7bl6g]

How on earth can Maynard change his voice and be so perfect in each sentence,in every different song.Amazing unbelievable

[@Crunchywallaby3357]

This is his voice. His regular singing voice. It's fantastic. ❤

[@angelofwar9223]

This song has grown on me a lot..

[@ianallan3205]

I love beautiful melodies telling me terrible things - Tom Waits

[@cynzia_d]

What a radiant crescendo

[@patrick_McD]

This song is beautiful.

[@amadd5641]

Wow! it sounds even better than the original recording. That song always gets to me.

[@aburke0823]

Love this song! Such bright chords over such dire lyrics

[@domokami447]

just like placebo does it. dont wanna compare though, both are great

[@aburke0823]

@@domokami447 indeed! Very similar.

[@TheUncleshady]

The crowd had no idea what to do with that message. Lmao.

[@662North]

They had to be confused as fuck.

[@danbrown9502]

He really reminds me of Tim Minchin when he's got that wig on lol

[@Crunchywallaby3357]

😂😂😂😂😂 I haven't heard of tim minchin since like 2008

[@alexsandereastmond7036]

love this band so much i seen them front row at hulu theater nyc my mom threw her scarf on stage and billy kissed her hand true story

[@Crunchywallaby3357]

Billy is such an honestly kind and social person.

[@darthnurfherder166]

Its kind of nice to see the audience actually listening to the song!

[@nataliereinke9631]

Such a great song, the first perfect circle song I fell in love with. So glad I can see a live video of it

[@HedleyB]

Great tourist crowd on live tv in L.A. Even if you don't know the band or song, how can can you not be moved by it?

[@keet8996]

How can one be happy and sad at the same time. You fools did it again! APC!

[@nicholasyebra1988]

I love this song 🎵

[@crownstupid]

I can't believe they played my favoirte song..... I love you guys! So long and thanks for the fishes :) :) :)

[@larrydecoursey8056]

Is the audience dead 💀??!!! Nobody’s groovin to Maynard voice and sonic sounds of A Perfect Circle ⭕️

[@thors136]

I’m sure none of them ever heard of a perfect circle. What a shame.

[@billmedic1995]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Howard Walowitz on the bass guitar!

[@scg81790]

That's clearly Anton Chigurh

[@Lautar22]

Que buena cancion...y que buena letra

[@John-vm2sq]

Maynard sounds amazing here.

[@clics3729]

You can hear the exact moment the sign to applaud hit

[@Blareoutproductionsphoto]

The songs about the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Love this song

[@camilobermudez6683]

This is just so good

[@htoamn]

Fantastic!

[@SoChilledOutGuy]

This song is kinda like the other side of the song Ænima

[@bradneff6678]

Dude! I was just saying this! Like a much more in your face, lyrically. But the music is brighter and somehow even more haunting. I just love it so much haha

[@cpamiseso]

Still a guitar tech. Dat t shirt, such wow.

[@andylindberg6243]

I wonder if Jimmy Kimmel realizes that this song is about him.

[@n0isehead814]

Thanx Maynard

[@mangos2888]

Remind yourself that he's not Voldemort 😂

[@grandmabead]

I came for MJK but will stay for Billy Howerdell.

[@Chaconhomero]

Impecable!

[@KoKo-ye2ld]

Çok güzel ❤

[@n0isehead814]

Maynard spits truth from tv lol

[@SBMM]

This audience did not get this song.

[@shtevcorpse6392]

Clearly. Maynard's cheeky smile right at the end spoke volumes. He knew it went "whoosh".

[@something.with.m]

Or ... they were as awestruck as would have been if I were there. Watching A Perfect Circle is a once in a lifetime experience. You don't want to blink.

[@shtevcorpse6392]

@Careful Icarus Yep. There in physical space only... their minds are wandering through their Facebook feed, feeling anxious because they might be missing something on their screens.

[@shtevcorpse6392]

@Careful Icarus The Walking Dead was not totally fiction. It was prophecy!

[@Sugarsail1]

@Careful Icarus ego-blinded millennials listening to a transcendental song. It's almost comical

[@jakebennett4642]

He asked the crowd to not over react that’s why you don’t see anyone doing anything Maynard is a genius

[@erniemaalat3588]

awesome benz tune😁

[@jaytea8936]

Hip hip horray

[@angelofwar9223]

No it’s not. It’s actually Greg Edwards from Failure doing guitar and keyboard for this performance. James Iha was working with Smashing Pumpkins during this time and needed a fill in for some shows on this tour.

Did Twiggy get plastic surgery? He looks practically respectable.

[@polenta36]

He’s not Twiggy! This is Matt McJunkins, who also played bass for Puscifer. You could’ve also seen him play bass live for Eagles Of Death Metal. He also plays with Jeff Friedl (the drummer) in a band called The Beta Machine.

[@CNNBlackmailSupport]

@@polenta36 I guess my obvious sarcasm skills are malfunctioning. If Twig wanted to fix his...whatever it is with plastic surgery, he would have done it 15 years ago.

[@secretbunnyninja]

Ooph just seeing a Mercedes symbol, and Kimmel live branding all over this stage makes me physically ill considering the songs content. The irony of it is almost hilarious. This perfect sleek black stage with this symbology. With the sides of commercial buildings undecorated showing the reality underneath.

[@mangos2888]

Sure it does. I'm sure you've got that puke bucket right next to ya

[@TuneHawk]

Why do peoples love the cheese rock?

mute and full body cast audience !!!!! that's a shame !!!
