MC Lars - Signing Emo Lyrics
Once upon a time, in the city of Los Angeles...
"Marty, Marty listen to me.
Bring me something the kids will cry for
Get out there, and get us stoked!"
Meet Marty, major label A&R scout
Red Ferrari, Marty living in L.A.
Bumps another line to get through the day
Dumped by his girl, he paid for her liposuction
His friends call him "Money," in his introduction
And Marty knows nothing but claims to know it all
Lose the flat screen TV if he drops the ball
You're as good as your last hit, find the next big thing
If he doesn't bring the bling, his cell phone won't ring
What's the trend, what's new? What's a label scout to do?
Office life, Marty 11:32
How about screamo? "If it sells, sign Nemo,"
"We're down 2%, and BMG knows,
My Daughter likes Dashboard, so get me one of those!"
He checks AP.net, the Scout and more
Yelling band names to his assistant through the door
The kids like this, who cares if it's great?
So he signs a band called Hearts that Hate
"Marty... we've got a hit!"
[CHORUS]
Cry tonight. My hands around your hands
I won't let you die tonight
Cry tonight. My heart's in your hands
I won't let you...
Hearts that Hate, Marty goes to their show,
Up in the club and here we go
Marty sees a girl in a Simple Plan shirt
With a Senses Fail boy, ha! that'll never work
He finds his label friends in the corner they huddle
An emo cattle auction, they penetrate the bubble
They talk about Victory and signing TBS
Dissing the same bands they just tried to impress
So the lights go down, the crowd starts to scream
Hearts that Hate have hit the scene
Blake on vocals, and lead guitar
He does a backflip, "Look how different we are!"
They show up at the studio to record it
A TRL, Billboard Modern Rock hit
They auto-tune Blake, but he can't tell
He says, "I've got perfect pitch, damn I sing well"
ProTools, Logic, cut, copy, paste,
Quantized solos and quantized bass
Signed, sealed, delivered and sent,
Across the U.S. and the single went
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Momentum builds, but it all caves in
Industrial comes back, the pres. needs a NIN
Marty finds a new band called "Fetal Coil"
And Hearts that Hate try to keep their fans loyal
They re-work their sound for album number two
As "Machines of Hate" but their career is through
They break up and work pushing mops and brooms
Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room
Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room
Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room
"Can you teach me track five Mr. Blake?"
"Hey, I wrote that song and it goes like this!"
[REPEAT CHORUS]

MC Lars Signing Emo Comments
Still listening to this guy
Way to slide that eye of horus in all smooth like. We see you.
1:06 that guy was my middle school music teacher
Why have I never heard this until now?! Sooo funny!
I haven't listened to this song in 11 years XD
This song came out of nowhere and got stuck in my head. It's got to be a decade since I last heard it, but it's an impressively tenacious earworm
I think hearts that hate are almost eleigible for rock and roll hall of fame at this stage, still bumpin it in 3019!
I love how even Lars came around by the end of the song and became a hardcore fan of Hearts! No more Mr. Folded Arms like when they were successful. Only when Blake is giving guitar lessons in his living room.. does Lars find him obscure enough to openly be a fan of, that dirty hipster with his hipster girl! Awesome track...well.. tracks! Lars and the Hearts! The Hearts sound and video are absolutely spot on; Exactly captures the sound and look of the era. Hell, I wish Hearts of Hate/Machines of Hate were an actual band. I would have definately pirated their stuff off Napster and put it on my oldskool iPod with the mechanical hard drive and then awkwardly tried to make out with some girl in my dorm room with it playing in the background.
I came to youtube to search for "cry tonight"
It is blowing my mind that it's not a real song. It sounds so convincingly like a late 90s emo hit
UGHHH THE HEARTS THAT HATE SONG SOUNDS GOOD!!!
Harvey weinstein....lol
Seriously - what is wrong with playing all the lines? "Bumps another line to get through the day" is PART OF THE SONG! Effin' Nannies...
2017 ???
hearts that hate sound like I prevail lol
My favorite part of the video is on the second chorus at the show, Lars is front row like, "not impressed."
Met this guy back in 2006 right before a gig, nice guy. Found him in the lobby afterwards at a pay phone, all by himself. No security. Had a chat with him afterwards and he signed my arm. What a great guy he was. I can't believe he's still around.
Thanks homie. :)
I wish Hearts That Hate were an actual band XD I kinda want to know what a full length version of Cry Tonight would sound like <3
I've got the single version of this. The B side is a full length version :)
2:45 - 3:38 cracks me up. lmao
That awkward moment when your music is even more shitty than the bands you're trying to bash.
It's not bashing, it's called a parody, heard of Jarrod Alonge?
This video..just no.
Gee it's almost like MC Lars refuses to accept large amounts of money from record labels to fund his videos. This was made by an independent artist in 2006. Your hopes should not have been high in the first place.
Saw him with Bowling For Soup. Had me in stitches (A compliment) Great entertainer. Great guy. Loved this track. Addicted. That's tight, That's tight, That's tight... Legend.
same with me, saw him while they were touring together and i loved him
A few weeks since I saw MC Lars (supporting Bowling For Soup), and I still scream "DIIIIIIIE" at this song XD
+Draco Storm I hope you screamed that at him live
+Jamie Anderson Oh, I did. It was very fun XD
+Draco Storm Haha that's amazing, so he still plays that live after all these years? Did he notice or react to it?
+Jamie Anderson Haha, he persuaded everyone to yell "DIIIIIE" at him :P
this needs 10x the views
Seriously? Why is it edited?
came across this video on accident but holy crap. MIND OPENING LYRICS
+iamRichEnglish You were looking for AFI.
2:58 ... my favorite part lol. the way he sings with the band.
I love the Audio Engineer
So cringeworthy
@tripleawesomepants you dont understand 2005
+Jakob Smith 2004. :)
I love this song!!
@Miles Russell you is gay .
WTF Censorship?! Bumps another "download" to get through the day? I am disappoint.
The line is 'Bumps another line' as in cocaine.
Hearts that Hate reunion tour 2014?
Ross Drew 2017*
The sad part is the emo song is something I would have like hahah
Saw this guy last night, safe to say I sat down with my headphones in throughout his whole set. It was embarrassing.
If you had your headphones in for the whole set, then how would you know it was embarrassing?
Lawyered.
Hung out with MC Lars a few times in my youth, shared pizza, top bloke.
Yeah, the emo part actually wasn't bad. I get the song, been the major music business for ever. Anyone remember hellogoodbye or similar bands? Where did the go?
Now it says 'singing elmo'....
description says signing elmo...
Thats what the songs called lmao
check out straight jacket legends feat mc lars...she's out of line...awesome
actually the emo hook part isnt bad
The guy that does the screamo
Hes my music teacher and ran my sisters plaay for school he is such a nice guy
Meaning you weren't listening to lyrics or well....yeah
Because he fucking kills it, go listen to "This Gigantic Robot Kills". Saw him in Denver on Sunday, one of the best performers there (No one ever beats Reel Big Fish).
actually it says singing elmo
i tweeted a pic of that to mc lars and he replied haha
"can you teach me track 5?" mc lars- "no cuz its shit..."
Because he's a fucking brilliant performer, I so him at Slam Dunk fest yesterday
how the fuck is this guy on warped tour
It's funny how he makes fun of emo bands but the emo part of the song its actually the only good part of the song
Lol I know right
lol yep
Lars standing in front of the stage old-school like it is a punk rock show, and the opening band is playing...
Ha, the guy that played blake is a guy named Steve Connolly, He was actually my music teacher when i was in 6th, He showed us this video :P Really a cool guy.
MC Lars. Front row. Not amused.
I think this somewhere in between half hearted realism or something of the sort..But anyways, this is shit.
that verse's are shit good story terribally done....and i am a underground hip-hop head if that is something...but then it gets to the chorus and i'm like....this si the best part of the track haha
This is shit.
Though, bands like Bowling For Soup to play the chorus sometimes during live shows. And the UK single of the song also comes with an acoustic version of Cry Tonight.
Deftones then down hill from there. Awesome song though.
MC Lars preforms that 'emo' part live during the shows, so technically it is a real band.
I remember buying a metal magazine and getting a free CD...this song was on it and I've never forgotten it XD
Love it XD
This was on of the frist songs i ever heard
Ive seen zebrahead quite a few times, 5 or 6. Best time i saw them was at the academy 2 in Birmingham. Tiny little place. They played till nearly 12 at night, and eventually they said "ok we really have to go now, we don't know how to play any more songs".
And i got matty to sign my tshirt. Badass.
I liked a few of bowling for soups songs, but Zebrahead is fucking amazing, I would love to see them in concert, I saw Everclear as the opening for Def Leppard, I love Everclear, but the guitar was too loud and the lead singer had a sore throat, Def Leppard was awesome though.
↑ This guy knows his shit.
Matty's voice can cure anything
2:14 - Thats exactly how i looked when i saw this guy support bowling for soup at Wolverhampton Civic hall back in 2006. Then Zebrahead came on stage and all was well.
I have met MC Lars and had a proper conversation with him. His a legend and totally keeps it real that is why he will always be a True player for real :)
I actually like the song, MC Lars parts and Hearts that Hate. I listen to a lot of different stuff musically because I like keeping an open opinion on all things music but I find it kind of crappy that the song by Hearts that Hate isn't a real song. It's actually catchy.
Nine Inch Nails brought me here.
saw him live, way better than his recorded shit.
hearts that hate is an awesome name!
LOL at the way he takes the piss out of self-pity chic :P
This Is GRADE-A TRASH
the person who plays blake, i mean
blake is my old music teacher
Notice all the hate comments were made by pubescent teenagers. Hint hint
No I'm pretty sure he's talking pretty serious shit, and it's well deserved because that genre is a joke to most musicians.
lol mc lars is such a loser but i love him <3
Its so quiet
@Scubilo1 I think you mean 36 fag but why would emos dislike an amazing song like this with an awesome chorus like that?
63 people are emo
2:12 LOL love that part.. Awesome!
hooked up with Akira on his radio show, i knew right then we were gonna make mad doh
MC Lars is so underrated it's not even funny.
my favourite genre is black metal followed by screamo and symphonic. i hate rap with a passion. but this is some funny ass shit. also i know that the chorus is supposed to be the worst part, but today i found myself singing it in the shower.
I love that he's rocking a Nailbomb tshirt haha.
This is not just a song. It's also a great truth...
@NecroMetro na
i was a t the massage parl... rm i mean gym and my massu... trainer. told me her boyfriend was in a band i was like oh yeah. and she said he plays with a rapper i was like cool whats he called she said MC LARS!!!!! i jizzed in my pants. HA HA
emo is gay xD
@greenarrow52 He says dashboard and hes referring to Dashboard Confessional.
Singing Elmo... Bwahahahahahaha....
wat does his daughter like
this sucks
@MikeMiseph you are aware that hearts that hate isnt even a real band right?
Nah. it says "Singing Elmo" lol
