The Presidents of the USA - Lump

The PUSA video for the great song "Lump."

[@UncleAnaesthesia]

In retrospect, you have to *LOVE* how incredibly random hits in the 90s were.

[@mobucks555]

The story goes the entire existence of this band was a bet between some college kids to make an absurd hit on MTV. And they ended up making three or four of them.

[@marcodallolio9746]

Culture is more alghorythmic today. It wont get better

[@Damcpaddy]

It wasn't technically random when kids are casting around for anything that is not, "in the mould", these guys needed the 90's and the 90's needed them. They're Lump!

[@EXIx2]

The randomness of '90s hits pleased my ADHD and now has me drowned me in nostalgia.

I've been listening to music for about 55 years and everything from the 60's on and appreciate the evolution of rock n roll. I really enjoy the 90's rock, all of it, indie, underground, alternative etc..great sounds!! Thanks to all the artists for all of that great music!

Lots of bands had more players, more talent, more guitar strings... but no band had more fun than these guys.

[@baronsofsaturn9242]

The Presidents Of The United States Of America released "Lump" in 1995. The raucous rock song got plenty of radio airplay and exposure on MTV which helped propel it up the charts to number 1 on Billboard's Modern Rock Hits. Lead singer and bassist Chris Ballew wrote the song about a tumor in his head, not a girl. He had hoped the lump might be benign and therefore "dead". I hope knowing its about a tumor and not an ex-girlfriend doesn't spoil it for you. The "Lump" was benign, by the way.

[@onikin]

Or the entire band was created to warn us the President of the USA would one day rhyme with Lump. Is this Trump out of our head? I don't think so.

Lump sat alone in a boggy marsh Totally emotionless except for her heart Mud flowed up into lump's pajamas She totally confused all the passing piranhas She's lump, she's lump She's in my head She's lump, she's lump, she's lump She might be dead Lump lingered last in line for brains And the one she got was sorta rotten and insane Small things so sad that birds could land Is lump fast asleep or rockin' out with the band? She's lump, she's lump She's in my head She's lump, she's lump, she's lump She might be dead Lump was limp and lonely and needed a shove Lump slipped on a kiss and tumbled into love She spent her twenties between the sheets And life limped along at sub-sonic speeds She's lump, she's lump She's in my head She's lump, she's lump, she's lump She might be dead Is this lump outta my head?

When I looked up into the internet, I finally found out that the song is about a Mindless woman who is in an abusive marriage but secretly goes into private parties. She always kept making excuses not to motivate herself and most of the time she does nothing. Until years later she got off the marriage, found a new lover, and then moved on.

Whether you like the Presidents or not, the sound that they get out of their guitars is amazing for only having 5 strings between the two of them!
