[@tylerfields774]

I've become a huge fan of Arctic Monkeys, but I'm questioning deeply why their fanbase is a bunch of damn hipsters. You either get the fans that hate other fans for liking "Do I wanna know" ( which is a great song, so like... are they wrong for liking it because its on the radio? And... can you honestly deny being a hipster if that's your reason? ) or you get the type that are like "This song is so underrated and underplayed." I see this on pretty much every song, even though this song has had 5.3 MILLION views. Please stop turning good bands into cults. Just enjoy the music.

[@scoonboon]

When Alex were a lad, he used to buy those polystyrene aeroplanes. You know the ones, where you got 3 strips that would slot together to make a hand held aeroplane that you could throw and it would glide through the air. Well, you also got a propeller for the front of it. One day, Alex and Jamie went to the corner shop for a 10p 'mix up' and an aeroplane to play with down the old quarry. But when he opened up the packet he discovered no propeller! So... He went back to the corner shop to speak to the keeper, "Propeller is missin' from this mr" he said. "There's nothin' I can do bonny lad... Sorry" replied the shop keeper. "But I bought it from 'ere" Alex responded, "Aye.. Well it must of been a bad batch. You'll have to take it up with Plane makers. Bugger off!" Shouted the keeper. Alex then ran home as fast as his legs could carry him. He proceeded to ring the number on the back of the packet. After explaining his situation, the Plane makers agreed to send Alex a new propeller. It would take 5 days to arrive however. After day 2, Alex and Jamie were very bored and getting impatient. Seeing this, Alex's mam told them to write a song about their situation. MY PROPELLER was born!!! And so, we are here, listening to My Propeller.. Not about a penis, but about a young boy wanting to play with his toy aeroplane down the old quarry.

[@callme_adam]

Am I the only one who doesn't think this song is a sexual innuendo? To me this is like being in love with a girl who doesn't give you the attention you're craving. When the girl isn't around, you're depressed and de-motivated. "When are you arriving?" He wants to see her badly so that he can feel uplifted again, and the propeller allows him to start moving again and being motivated. Sure it can have a sexual meaning too, but I don't really like to think of it that way imo.

[@fluorescentadolescent2640]

Yes, Alex said that this is not about his cock, its about a mood

[@BackFromNowere]

+Adam Sinclair I think it's about the effects of drugs. He needs someone to give him the drugs, or to start his propeller because it won't spin. AKA he isn't himself without taking drugs,

[@callme_adam]

When you put it like that, it seems it could well be related to drugs too. 90% of AM songs are related to girls though, so that's why I assumed it was about a girl.

[@spodybanjack8800]

Actually, Alex said himself that it wasn't about his penis. But I think I understand the song now; after it helped me through my exams, I developed a special connection with it. I reckon Derek is right and it's about how Alex needs a woman to "spin his propeller" and get him working again, to "coax him out his low", which could be depression.

[@Nicole-rg4fg]

If Alex of 2010 had seen himself today, he wouldn't have believed it. However, he's always perfect in a different way.

[@Nicole-rg4fg]

Yeah, you're right. They never stay the same, because they don't want to be boring and they want to try their abilities in something new.

[@DTMfun]

Joan Runaway i guess alex 2006 would have been amazed by the way he looked in 2010. the 2010 alex probably would have cried over how he looks nowadays. i dont like the suit. the quiff is alright worn in that rock n roll style, not the showmaster style

[@DTMfun]

***** i am not quite sure about that, especially on that psychedelic part. alex said because AM had such positive acclaim they might do something like a sequel (which I dont believe but anything in that direction would be not my style)

I totally agree.Humbug is their best album so far.The music,the songs lyrics,the whole atmosphere just makes me feel so emotional...

[@thehungwolf4195]

I love this song because it can be interpreted in a lot of different ways and it seems like Alex doesn't go into detail about the meaning to keep it that way. for a long time i assumed it was a song about getting a blow job. "make your descent slowly" is self explanatory "oil up those sticky keys" could be seen as lube up those hands "have a spin on my propeller" ....suck it. these could be seen as sex references. however, changing the perspective, i can also see this song being about drug dependency. "coax me out my low" anyone who's had problems with drugs know the depressing feeling of being sober, then feeling alright once they've got their bit. "it's a necessary evil" you feel like you need drugs but you know they're harming you. "when are you arriving? coz my propeller won't spin and i can't get it started on my own" the 'propeller' could be his creativity or motivation, and until his fix arrives, he feels no creativity or motivation to do anything. Once more, it could be about being in love with someone. "momentary synergy" could be referring to that moment you see the person you love, and it feels like you know they are the one, being in perfect synergy for that moment. "coax me out my low, sink into tomorrow, coax me out my low, and have a spin of my propeller" might be him wanting the person he loves to be around him to take away his depression and sink into tomorrow like nothing else matters. "it's a necessary evil" Love can make people crazy and do things they wouldn't usually do, sometimes more harmful things than good, but you need that love in your life, making it a necessary evil. I don't personally believe the toy plane story. The rest of the album's songs have similar undertones (obsession, love, sex and drugs) and its very out of place to have just one song be about his toy plane's propeller not working as a child.

[@Sixpakbee-lb3dm]

I feel like the meaning of the song refers to everybody having their own personal propeller (metaphor for their driving force in life), and you will always need somebody beside you to help that propeller spin.

For me Humbug was the Arctics 1st album aimed at an international audience. The 1st 2 albums were totally British albums. All the songs on them are about British life & British people.

A movie ends with a blackout. The song starts at 2:16 right when the credits start rolling and it just continues instrumentally with no lyrics while the credits are rolling. That's what I always think about.

That would be cool

[@AJEJ22]

This album is just straight up gold. No bad songs here

[@olivia1910]

I love Humbug so much, I think it's so original. At first you might think some songs like My Propeller or Crying Lightning, or Dance Little Liar are boring or dark, but then right before it ends it explodes in a magnificent chorus and you think thank god I listened to the end...

I'll never understand why AM gets so much shit. This isn't that far removed from some of the songs on AM. Is it because they finally blew up? Or because there's new fans that have only listened to AM?

[@elephantscontainenergy]

+Eric Layton I have to admit that I discovered them from AM, but I listened to all of their other previous albums, and I can say for sure that AM is not as good as their old albums

[@djhero0071]

How old are you?

[@elephantscontainenergy]

+djhero0071 who me? Why do you want to know that?

[@djhero0071]

No. The other dude. And I wouldn't say AM is WORSE than their older albums. I guess it's just more mainstream which can be good or bad depending on how you look at it.

[@vantaraxkek870]

Same thing here

[@aubrey_shadow13]

The lyrics are amazing. I read up on it, and Alex described it as "A descent." This reminded me of a line from The Doors, their song Riders on the Storm; "Girl you gotta love your man/take him by the hand/make him understand..."

[@creamyfawn]

It's been so long yet still I can't get over this song. Humbug will always be my favourite.

[@cherophilia]

I love the minimalist approach to this music video.

[@jeebrew]

fan of Arctic Monkeys since 2012. How come I only discovered that song now...................... Probably stuck on TBH&C and AM too much that couldn't notice the gems from their other albums....

[@bobbyskeetz]

humbug is literally the best album ever

[@55farmerbill]

Come As You Are vibes and I like it

[@GillesSusant]

I do know it's the first song I came about AM but from 2005 to nowadays, I just love them from their punk rock sound to this lounge and soul day and everything in between about Alex.

[@barbarasolha]

I need to hear them play this song live so I can cry my heart out and die happy

[@emilio3098]

In my artic's top 5

[@1989murr]

love how everyone argues about what the song is about. Just shows the genious of alex's lyrics that there are so many different interpretations from people. personally i think its about him wanting someone to help him out of a low depressing mood, spinning his propeller and snapping him out of it.

[@iScreamax]

2:20 i love this part !

[@timbabyable]

this song is amazing!!! i heard a friend of mine played it in class and i just had to look it up for repeated listen!!!

[@panchocalabaza9534]

letra en español Si puedes reunir la fuerza, remolcame No puedo aguantar la urgencia Tienes que hacer tu descenso lentamente. Y engrasar esas llaves pegajosas. Engánchame y dale un giro a mi hélice. Es un mal necesario No hay causa de emergencia. Me prestó el pico de un águila calva Oh, sinergia momentánea. Engánrame a mi baja Hundirse en mañana Engánchame y dale un giro a mi hélice. Mi hélice no gira y no puedo arrancar por mi cuenta ¿Cuando estás llegando? Mi hélice no gira y no puedo arrancar por mi cuenta ¿Cuando estás llegando? Mi hélice no gira y no puedo arrancar por mi cuenta ¿Cuando estás llegando? Mi hélice

[@uriieseitoblaieva898]

[@omerasaf1609]

[@dawn2697]

I love the drums and gutiar in this song

[@giulianasorano5791]

[@faithjones4787]

Been binge listening to their music all day 🙃. I don't regret it at all. And this might actually be my favorite song so far
