Viagra Boys - Sentinel Island

[@Detroittruckdoctor55]

Very rarely have i listened to a new indie band over and over again like a high-schooler at 35 thanks i wanna see these guys live

[@DogheadOriginal]

I did. Good.

@@jmitch623 this is my theme song when i have business in a bad part of town . Where fetty addicts wander the streets like Michael jackson thriller video

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

One of the wittiest songs in a long time. Damn this is such a great observational piece. I remember when that dude tried to go to the island and met his arrow filled fate..... One of my favorite songs ive ever listened to.

[@alexx9433]

Even tho this seems like a goofy kind of band when you listen to the Instruments and how they flow together you realise how professional this band actually is . Keep up the great work your show in Sydney was the best music event I have ever been to in my life

[@danrolnik2671]

They're exquisite, serious musicians. Every instrument complements the others as music should be.

[@Karl_Marksman]

[@vellocet2438]

Those shrimp boy engineers sure did a good job with this one fellas.

[@CYFAWS]

Some context: the song references North Sentinel Island, which is technically part of India's Andaman Islands, but is in effect a sovereign island under Indian protection whose residents - the Sentinelese - are known for violently resisting any attempts at outsider contact and are quite possibly the last truly uncontacted people on the planet. In the fall of 2018 some fucking missionary idiot by the name of John Chau attempted to visit the island in order to convert the Sentinelese to Christianity, but - surprise, surprise - he got his stupid ass killed in the process. A summary: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinelese#Death_of_a_missionary_(2018)

[@Jakke13]

Thank you for this insight. I didn't realise it was such a well thought out concept, these lyrics. How come you know about this?

[@viljamtheninja]

@@Jakke13 It's pretty well known, I think. If you read the news, it was pretty widely talked about when that missionary died.

[@shamanix1983]

Indeed! True story!

[@deanmayberry9713]

Sebastian Murphy: What if we brought an indigenous violent tribe drugs instead of Bibles? The rest of Viagra Boys: No Sebastian that's a terrible idea! Sebastian Murphy: But it'd make a good song! VB: You're right!

[@evanthiakrassa9197]

what is this type of music called?

[@trey4857]

so i think the heroin and fentanyl is a metaphor for religion, "opium of the people" as Karl Marx called it, or "opiate of the masses"

[@rogermarks1110]

I really don't think it's a metaphor lol. Not that he actually went to sentinel island with a bunch of heroin and fentanyl lol

[@viljamtheninja]

No, I think it's more like a joke on what Viagra Boys would've done in place of that kooky American missionary who DID try to bring religion to North Sentinel Island.

[@Karl_Marksman]

Most of their lyrics seem to be about exactly what you think they're about. Add meaning as you see fit. Lick The Bag?
