Marvin The Paranoid Android - Reasons To Be Miserable (1981)

[@stevemurray5606]

Nobody could replace Stephen Moore as Marvin. Incredible voice acting! Great song.

[@douglasfreeman3229]

Love Stephen Moore as Marvin, and what dulcet singing tones that fellow possesses.

[@JoeArtMaker13]

lyrics for anyone who wants them Reasons to be miserable Give my brain a pain Very little turns me on Marvin is my name I'm a robot, it's my lot A robot full of cares I'd feel a little better If they broke me up for spares Everything I say or do I find the world condemning If I had my time again I'd rather be a lemming I'm just a menial robot Oh well They drive me crazy with their Marvin, close the door Well, isn't it enough to make you Tidy up the floor You know, it spoils a robot's day Marvin, when you're finished You can put yourself away I'm going to flip my lid They treat me like a kid Robot naughty, robot bad Robot happy, robot sad Who's a clever robot lad? It would drive a human mad Robots are inhuman Robots are inhuman Human robots are in Human robots are in I get no satisfaction I'm bored Can't bear these humans when they Make me do their work I'd rather be a calculator Treat me like a jerk Oh ho ho, that will be the day Pat me on the head I'd rather be a percolator It'd be no trouble Just to bubble life away Don't get a holiday Or friends to stay How can a robot think With his elbows in the sink? Marvin, peel a grape (Marvin) Is there no escape? (Marvin) Marvin, dig a hole (Marvin) Play some rock 'n' roll (Marvin) Yeah, I'm digging I really hate it when they Underload my brain Washing up the dirty dishes Diodes give me pain Walking dogs and feeding fish is Driving me insane Just a metal slave is what a Robot is and always Will remain

[@leemendham4788]

Correction: Yeah, I'm digging it

[@douglasfreeman3229]

At 53 I now understand the pains down Marvin's left side. I thought he was just a moaning old fart when I was a boy, but now I understand. Poor old Marv. (Like the little Kraftwerk pic, by the way)

A black ship crashing into the sun will never be as fire as this 🔥🔥🔥

[@lucifuge2388]

[@a_gay_homosexual_funeral]

He really do

[@jackschidt8711]

much as i love stephen fry...been looking for the original song for years....thanks :D

[@kazmiller7820]

If Marvin got his own spinoff in 2021 I wouldn't mind if they used as the theme

[@a_gay_homosexual_funeral]

Honestly I would LOVE it if there was a Marvin spinoff! I think it would be fun as a series of (possibly animated?) shorts called "Android Anguish" or some other fun name.

[@thegreebleaddict1610]

best quality version of this song i can find! even cleaner then some of the other digital recordings of the Marvin songs. I love this so much, thank you!

[@IceblinkWatersky]

Thank you, that's generally what I do with my channel - just upload stuff I love in better quality than is already on here :) Got the others, if you're interested?

[@thegreebleaddict1610]

@@IceblinkWatersky Yes please!, love this record but cant find some of the songs on it if you would post the others. going to have to listen to some of your other videos to, this quality is incredible compared to most record recordings. :)

[@isaacshultz8128]

[@hEV6060842]

[@axjagfilms]

[@mod_bear777]

Lyrics Please could you stop the noise? I'm trying to get some rest From all the unborn chicken voices in my head What's that? (I may be paranoid but I'm not an android) What's that? (I may be paranoid but I'm not an android) When i am king, you will be first against the wall From your opinion which is of no consequence at all What's that? (I may be paranoid but I'm not an android) What's that? (I may be paranoid but I'm not an android) Ambition makes you look pretty ugly Kicking squealing Gucci little piggy You don't remember? You don't remember? Why don't you remember my name? Off with his head man off with his head man Why don't you remember my name? I guess he does Rain down rain down Come on rain down on me From a great height From a great height Rain down Rain down Come on rain down on me From a great height From a great height That's it sir You're leaving The crackle Of pigskin The dust and The screaming The yuppies networking The panic The vomit The panic The vomit God loves his children God loves his children, yeah

Reasons to be miserable, give my brain a pain Very little turns me on, Marvin is my name I'm a robot, it's my lot, a robot full of cares I'd feel a little better if they broke me up for spares Everything I say or do, I find the world condemning If I had my time again, I'd rather be a lemming! I'm just a menial robot Oh, well They drive me crazy with their "Marvin, close the door!" Well, isn't it enough to make you "Tidy up the floor!", you know, it spoils a robot's day! "Marvin, when you're finished, you can put yourself away!" I'm going to flip my lid They treat me like a kid! Robot naughty, robot bad Robot happy, robot sad "Who's a clever robot lad?"

Yeah, I'm diggin' it I really hate it when they underload my brain Washing up the dirty dishes, diodes give me pain Walking dogs and feeding fish is driving me insane Just a metal slave is what a robot is and always... will remain

[@JoshuaPortillo-zz8kb]

ummm is this song is form America or Canada?

[@huwzebediahthomas9193]

Sounds ghastly... 😎😁

[@Scumboogie]

Who made this? I need to know

[@barkboingfloom]

Stephen Moore is the performer. He is the voice of MARVIN from both the radio and TV series.

[@peterfreeman6677]

"Reasons To Be Miserable" was released in 1981. Its official title was "The Double 'B'-Side", and it was a double B-side single released by Polydor on Depressive Discs. The *other* B-side is "Marvin I Love You", where poor Marvin discovers - centuries too late - a love letter sent to him. Presumably by another android, but who knows?

[@seanr8628]

Far out...

[@ThomasTallant]

So... this is a parody I hear.....

[@anitarose1122]
