Parquet Courts - Stoned & Starving Lyrics
I was walking through Ridgewood, Queens
I was flipping through magazines
I was so stoned and starving
I was reading ingredients
I was so stoned and starving
I was scratching off silver ink
I was deciding what to drink
I was so stoned and starving
I was walking through Ridgewood, Queens
I was flipping through magazines
I was so stoned and starving
I was flipping through magazines
I was so stoned and starving
I was debating Swedish Fish
Roasted peanuts or licorice
I was so stoned and starving
I was holding some wadded bills
I was reading that smoking kills
I was so stoned and starving
I was walking through Ridgewood, Queens
I was flipping through magazines
I was so stoned and starving

Parquet Courts Stoned & Starving Comments
Is this it vibe, like it !
how did you do the vhs-type titles?! they're stunning
Stoned and boring. Probably as boring as Vampire Weekend. I fucking hate Parquet Courts.
Fact: This was recorded on my uncle's piece of shit panasonic VHS camcorder from 1986. The tape used was an old Polaroid VHS that was used everyweek to record Falcon's Crest and Dallas for my grandma but I always taped over them to record Magnum P.I. and NBC's Friday Night Videos.
Oh I'm certainly not stoned
Colino y con gorobeta... para quien me entienda
im 8 and i lov e this fuck rebecca black and up rick rolling!! !1 1!

PQs - the band Television ‘could’ have been ❤️
Those leads sound absolutely NOTHING like Television....
Bag head classic
they could've tuned the guitar first before recording that solo... it just makes the fillings in my teeth resonate :(
Many can relate. I, for one, was stoned and starving just last night. Ate an entire cherry pie
so simple, so sick, so stoned
Best thing I've heard in months.
Comments are filled with pseuds, don't involve urself with them
Everybody's looking at her skinny body like, 'Whoah.'
That’s not skinny fellas’ ~rather , Thats Hot ... Well maybe a wee bit
I have a yen for Pete Shelley to be singing this.
throwback to Andy Warhol?
The velvet youth
Sounds like a deft amalgam of their city and all it's influences, garnished with a little Modern Lovers.
I like this brand but I can't stand listening to them singing about my neighborhood. I think I understand why native Brooklynites have had a beef for the last 20 years. Stop name dropping places and suggesting nostalgia for something you don't understand. Douchebags.
nice...Velvet Underground in 2017
oh hey, modern lovers.
no one plays sick "solos/riffs" like that anymore, and they're still killing it fuck yeah
camper van Beethoven wannabes, still cooler than most
smoking blue dream listening to....this band
Cole Wilson.
Does anyone have the bass tabs to this for me?
Featured in https://www.mixcloud.com/WhiteCthulhu/18-hit-the-wall/
"Roadrunner" meets "looking for Lewis and Clark" covered by Thurston Moore
official is merely a word, in this instance i'm not certain it could better relate because i've been that camera, if only in thought, seeing and wondering and "should i really be seeing this" -ing, the in-between a, not the beauty
then better realization with the lyrics in mind detail how someone is scouring the web and such for something desirable but, i guess they all seemed pretty good, suitable at best, male was the designation for sex and when has anyone turned away a carrier, they might have the goods, they might not - scratch the silver ink, which could be six on iphone or hardwares inside of machines, the ones you can't seemingly fix, constantly calling, someone said "sex is a weapon" and apparently now more easily in the hands of those needing nothing less
Cole Wilson.
If you ever wanted to know what the Velvets would be like if they had Jonathan RIchman on vox, here is your answer! This song should also be the anthem of SF's Mission District! I can't say enough god things about this track!
Sometimes the Pizza Hut by Myrtle and Fresh Pond will give free food if you ask nicely.
name of the girl
Chick Needs to Get Stoned, & Hit Micky D's More Often!!! :)...
is this ridgewood queens or what?
Awsome Vid ..thanks goes really well with the Music
People of the future will come to this comment section to talk about how they were born in the wrong generation and about how much they wish they would have seen Parquet Courts live.
I just saw them in Columbus for the first time and remembered this comment. It's so accurate!
Indeed they will saw em Lawrence KS man was I fucked up
saw them on Buenos Aires. They are great.
hits blunt
This is basically the fusion of the early eighties music of Joy Division and Joe Jackson. And they totally nailed it. +1
i got up to serve me some juice to drink
took the bottle left the cup on the fridge i was so so stoned and starving
Wow, didn't even realize this wasn't an official vid -- it's amazing!
Its not
My mate saw them in Melbourne Australia a couple of years ago. Said they were great but did not play Stoned and Starving. disappointed. That song was the only reason the guys were touring. Seems like musical snobbery to me. However, liking the new material
That's odd, I've seen them twice in Sydney and they've played it both times.
"I was debating Swedish Fish,

i read that right as he sang it wtf
great track, great band.@Kristian Stanley
my girlfriend got me all of those for xmas
I'm an old man of 58 and I fuckin love these guys!!!
Yeah great job guys !
rock on dinosaurs
Sam Dracula I am an old man who turned 50 two days ago and I love this band .
not old Sam, not old
I'm 43 and have seen them a few times. They are fucking fantastic and so are you fellow old people for being into them (and other new music, presumably).
seen them a couple of weeks ago. Didnt play this. I was surprised...
Anybody feeling the Sonic Youth-vibes?
More like Pavement. Less noise, more slack.
Definitely hear Modern Lovers!
Everything thats been said already, plus Joy Division
fuck sonic youth
Like.. totally..
it sounds pretty much like ''the headmaster ritual'' from the smiths. Iove them both!!
these guys are great. i'm really digging their newest album, 'human performance'. anyone seen them live? do they kill it?
im seeing them in august. will update
yup bro, I saw em 3 days ago and fucking amazing. they played so many songs from the new album.
Awesome live performance! Saw them at a festival in Switzerland.
I've seen them twice in Sydney and they've been amazing both times. Can't wait for them to come back again.
#strummerjam
That main riff sounds quite a bit like a part of main riff from 1880 or So by Television
I can NOT BELIEVE THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL OMG.
Jonathan Richmanish
I'm pretty sure you aren't in Ridgewood Queens. I didn't see any magazines. Were you at all stoned or starving?
+Paul Silvius Behind the computer
+Paul Silvius she was walking to McDonald's... you do the math.
i have my doubts....
A wee bit psychedelic me thinks. I could listen to this all day long, but maybe I go see what else these guys have to say. Yes, good idea!
Sometimes it hits
welcome
Anybody knows how to get the guitar sound of the solo? Which pedals, which guitar?
+Roland Knaap It sounds like my cheap guitar on overdrive
+Roland Knaap just play with different gear, find a similar sound, doesn't have to be exactly the same set up.
+FutureScience my first guitar (Squire) with my first amp on overdrive sounds exactly like them, so I guess your right.
"McDonalds product placement pays $50,000 to indie band Parquet Courts" an 'The Onion' headline did not read.
Song about ridgewood queens, video shor in green point and williamsburg...
Gotta say I hear a bit of the Great Jim Carroll, but still love these guys, my new favorite group.
What a kick ass sound, heard it on the radio and stopped everything. All you puss-holes whining about the video: shut up, stop being so spoiled put the fucking Meghan Trainor mp3 down and try to appreciate originality.
666 likes bow to your supreme master
I live in Ridgewood Queens, I am stoned but I'm not by any means starving. I live two blocks away from thay McDonalds on metropolitan.
I bike around there high, never starving. Thirsty, yes.
+Edinred right? me too.
+Edinred It's so boring though. So hard to get around.
Doesn't matter if you're stoned
Video has the look and feel of the original credit sequence for The Kids in the Hall. As the old weirdo that I am...LOVE IT!!!
This video is so boring and they could have done so much with it
Right they could have this video SUCKS A$$ CRACK
When I am stoned I am never hungry??
+James Hendry you're a pretentious little fuck and apparently you don't know the differences in your dank. Know it live it, there's sativa, an indica, and the hybrids. Stick to your brick shit reggie and don't be rude. I am never hungry, sleepy, and work my ass off. My favorite MK Ultra (I don't share). But Jack flash and Blue Dream best friends.
Thanks guys, joyous sarcasm is such fun back and forth.
As for you Cyndi, I have a house in Amsterdam you vile-spouting withered holier-than-the-world aesthetic abomination, so swede-tart, don't lecture me. Why don't you stick to washing the hallways of your public schools and work off some more of that generous ass (which looks like it has its own zipcode) as I count my money and light up my King Hassan with it you monotonous shitcunt.
Peas.
Peas and carrots
So as for YOU James Hendry with the "house in Amstrrdam" will uou be taking king hassan up your ass this brilliant eve. BTW none of what you said made sense, so keep doping you are why I love to smoke.
When I get blitzed I usually windup at the local Chinese restaurant. One time the guy gives me the menu and asked me "What You want"? My reply to him was "Everything".
bless them
pure punk..missing it that good shit for a long time

Hello from Russia
@Erin hegarty You meant "North America" or "USA'' isn´t it? :)
@Paula Herrera Lucio US yes
@Vladimir S hello from Puebla, Mexico
+Paula Herrera Lucio what are you a cartographer? who fucking cares? You are from S.America on the east so it would be logistics correct?
+Vladimir S Hello from Germany
So no one ever told you life was gonna be this way.
Dude great fan film. We did one for Caster or Worthless Spells, but I love this one a lot.
I love when the tambourine drops. It's the simple things, folks.
top notch stuff. First decent U.S band I have heard since the Cramps. World Capital of rock n roll has been Northern England, for at least 30 years
deerhunter
right... cuz nirvana was from London lol
U.S blew the UK out of the water in the 90s.
drzazgi ya and then they had Bush lol... brit rock always sounds contrived to me. not sure why. the post punk stuff from the 80s was the good shit though
Listen to Thrice.
FUCK THESE HIPSTER TOOL BAGS. AWFUL SHIT. GO BACK TO THE MID WEST TRUST FUND BABIES.
new favorite
Ypu guys dont try hard, I like it. You guys are just cool. Please carry on, you are kind of a legacy to me!
A heart-warming story about a ridiculously skinny chick who goes looking for food, finds it, then eats a tiny amount of it.
Omg lol
O men, they had a cool music, but this video sucks !!
I was surfing the Internet
I was reading dumb youtube comments
I was so...so stoned and starving
I can't believe you guys are stalking me.
All of you hating on a simple and fun rock band have no love for live music and bars. This band is great with a few drinks and some great company. Not everything has to be pop, rap, or electronica to be cool and those that don't understand this music are missing out on the talent it takes for rythm, guitars and drums. If you are so good at music you'd be making it instead of being a critic of anything different. I seriously weep for the drones of idiots that only listen to ONE KIND of music such as rap, Lady gagme, and lip syncing bullshit like Katy Perry etc.
.... I liked this band 35 years ago when they were called 'Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers'.
unfluster *tips fedora*
Yeah sure, The Briefs, the Hives, these guys arent original, except that they manage to capture the essence of quirky pop and deliver it with honesty . Success in music is about timing, and this is as good a time as any.
Thomas Hesser
Thank you
finally a measure of reasonable sanity in a youtube comments thread
I see the similatiries but this has no keys and is way less bluesy.
Great juxtaposition early in the video, I think this is a really well thought out piece to a great song. I will revisit it from time to time and study on it as I do,
Thanks and keep em' comin'.
