Steam Powered Giraffe - Fancy Shoes Lyrics

Good song !
Come back

teach a pair of shorts how to pants

Rabbit's look in this video is iconic.

I see this video was put out many years ago now but feel compelled to respond, regardless.
I've just recently discovered Steam Powered Giraffe and I must say, you are the most refreshing, MY soul-touching, original music, I've heard from my lifetime.
The tears started at about the verse with standing in the middle of the street with a bus...
I was hit by a car in 1989; I had already survived multiple levels of traumas & tragedies; she was going 60mph; I was wearing brand new shoes. I was 12.
I'm 43 now and within the last few months (likely longer, if I'm kinder to myself) I've been working actively, very hard, to help heal emotionally. It can be very difficult to put it all back together but something tells me, that with messages that I hear from you guys, I'll have another toolset to help me recover from *all* of life.
Thank you, humbly, for that gift.
~In Solidarity, Purple & Blue Peacock Dragon

Ah man I miss hatchworth by far the most quirkiest member

I listened to this once, and for the first half of the song I didn't really find anything spectacular about it...
But then I listened to it twice, now I can't bring myself to stop replaying it!

There should probably be a warning against flashing lights. Nice song tho

That crystalline tenor voice though😍

Hatchworth really came up from just being a Drummer 😳

Hatchy at 2:20 is so relatable to me. I remember when I was younger and had gotten new clothes, like a new jacket or shoes or something or if I’d done something new to my hair I went to the grocery store to show off. Lol! Well erhm okay I still do it and I’m an adult. A while ago when I had dyed half my hair green I went to buy a pizza to show off my new hair and I told the pizza person “Hey, I’ve dyed my hair today!” *proud as heck* and they were like “Oh wow, it looks great!” Need that attention at times! So yeah, I relate to Hatchy showing off like that.

years later? still my jam

lets all admire hatchys voice

I love Zero. But I'll always miss Hatchworth.

The more I listen to it, the more I fall in love with it!

Hatchworth will always be one of my absolute favorites.

Love this soooo much!!!

hatchworth please come back ilu

Hatchworths moves is literally me on a Saturday night alone in my apartment

I love this so much. And I love how powerful Rabbit looks with the keytar and the headpiece making her look like an armadillo. Purely amazing! And precious cute lil Hatchy...and The Spine is just iconic, I’ve named my theremin The Spine. And my pink bathtub is named Rabbit because it’s like my favorite thing in the whole world and so is she. What an iconic queen!

Moa Morgenstern Making her look like an armadillo...

Hatchworth > The Jon > Zero > Upgrade < Rabbit < The Spine. FIGHT ME.

wokuchu1 Maybe I will.

It might just be me, but the scene at the beginning has some scp qualities about it. Something like seeing those shoes is a really bad omen.

I need this song sub spanish
I understand a little sorry :'u

Bunny has best hat ever.

I miss you Hatchworth 👍

the scp foundation dcovering an scp coulourized

I just love 2:58

"you can't teach a pair of shorts how to pants" <3

90 bucks says I can teach a pair of shorts how to pants.

The mouse and his child 🥰

Gay singing in the distance

those are indeed some fancy shoes.

i kinda hope rabbit brings back those absolutely kickin tights in one way or another
or even just the black and red stripes (unless she already has and i havent seen it lol <:y )

*flashing lights warning!*

"Sorry ma'am you can't park here tonight. There's a band of dancing robots shooting a music video in this car port."

WHO LET HIM SAY THE FUKC WORD

I got a shoe ad
noice

Miss you hatchie :, (

"A storms a'brewin, in your mind-thoughts"
SPEECH 100

Lol the walter girls run away from hatchworth's fancy shoes

I like to think that Sam found the shoes shown and said "hey, guys. Lets make a song about Hatchworth having fancy shoes" and this song was made.

1:50 how smooth can a robot be

They must have so much fun making these

0:35 you're welcome

What do you think about doing Thriller?

Rabbit's headress in the video is awesome, I wish she wore it all the time

I love all the songs sam writes. they're just soo awesome.

I must know the origin story for this song. Did Sam walk into a thrift store, find these shoes, and thought "Yup. These are now music" and bought them? I need to know XD

did he say rubber salts or rubber soles? XD

nikki nolan rubber souls

Sir where can I purchase a pair of these “Fancy Shoes”? Yes, the ones that Sparkle gold and blue.

Where is this filmed? Some of the scenery looks familiar.

In Soviet Russia, your shoes wear you

Por favor, más música así. En México no hay nadie así de creativo, nadie que venga a explotar lo exótico y genial. Su música es alucinante, ,gracias.

The music kinda sound like cake in this one i like it just found them it was a great find

Honestly first few times I heard this I didn't dig it. But now I can't stop

DEVO crossed with CSNY Love it!!!!

_Dont hurt birds_

So sad I can't sing along, but that's what I get for eating to much chocolate last night.

Oh yes I AM watching this for the bajillionth time! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ This is a work of art in its entirety, you all are musical and creative geniuses, and I appreciate you greatly, your music pulls me out of depressions. I love you all. 🙏❤️

when the Walter workers run away it makes me think hatch worth is somewhat dangerous

First time i heard this i thought hatchworth ''but fuck the dance'' not ''buff out the dents''

Bunny: "WHAT ARE THOOOOSE?!"

Brianna Rae Loudermilk I loved that. 😂

This band for this song makes me think of a cross between Phish and Radiohead

I absolutely love the line "You can teach a robot how to dance, but you can't teach a pair of shorts how to pants."

220 people tried to teach a pair of shorts how to pants.

I don't understand much about this song but I thoroughly enjoy watching Hatchworth be Hatchworth for five straight minutes

While I was scrolling down the vids I was saying " Maybe I'm not listening to the right shoes " lol I ment song! Can't stop laughing now!!

Hatchy, we don't deserve you.

As much as I love the upbeat, twangy weirdness of this song, I can't help but feel sad while listening to it. The lyrics seem to suggest a struggle with trying to fit in or being pushed out.
"Although they're pretty slick, no one will let you through"
"When everyone's in red, you wear blue"
"It doesn't matter those fancy shoes, so why would, why would you?"

It's all talking about being different from the people around you, which is totally cool. You've gotta be true to yourself, even if it makes you stick out. But the last line of the chorus literally says "if the shoes don't matter to them, why would you matter either?" IDK, am I reading too much into it?? Does anyone else get that feeling too?

SarahBear That was my thought too friendo!

Harchworth has probably the best voice out of the new "replacements". Pissed he left like Jon.

This song makes me think of a conversation with an AI

I miss you so much Hatchworth...

*listens to this song*
*gets an add as to why you should wear shoes*

Me: Looks at thumbnail
Me:.........................



ME:WHAT ARE THOOOSSSEEE!?!?!?!?!?!?

Hatchy is gonna eat those shoes later

hatchworth has a very unique voice

Hatchworth was like the weirdest yet funniest one in your group, why'd you let him go?

something else He wanted to go. He knew from the beginning that he wouldn’t want to stay on forever. Sam just told them when he started as Hatchworth that when he wanted to leave he’d tell them and they said okay. They parted as friends, and Sam even stayed on for as long as it took for them to find a new guy (Bryan).

3:31 lo que pasa cuando cantas en un estacionamiento

Very Musey

i really miss hatchworth :(

The beginning (most notably)
makes me think of ELO

Samuel Luke, kudos to you as well, I am so sorry that I didn't care about you until I started to really care about the band. Your sound is just as important.

Please come to hungary, I am waiting.

"it doesn't matter those fancy shoes, its all about the toes you'll lose" someone call rogers and hammerstein

Even my cat brownie watched these videos with me! Isn’t that cool? Well..... she kind of watched them.... but still pretty cool right?

I just noticed their all in fancy shoes

They are like real robots! And how did hatchworth,s arm come of like that!?!? Was it video editing or are they really robots!?!?

Its a fake stuffed arm, if you look at the other side of his back, you can see his hand poking out.

scientist:"everyone run for your lives every man for themselves!" person:"what's going on!?" scientist:"it's the shoes!!"

I love you guys

I've learned alot about being myself and not worrying about what others think and not to try too hard to get everyone to like you all the time

Spin has no light up spine on his back

I just have to point out the bouncy boi at 2:18 cuz that makes me happy when I'm sad

I think I finally get it, this song is what normally goes through Hatchworth’s mind? Complete randomness? Either way I still love this song so much and am trying to learn the dance, I’m going to do it at work, haha!

It seems like such a silly song... until you think about what it means.

"It doesn't matter those fancy shoes, it's all about the toes you'll lose"

i miss hatchworth :(

5:14 *RUN RUN RUN*

Wow, Hatchworth can sound like a girl and a guy
That's amazing

Is Wilton turning dead people/maimed people to automatons now?

Get your fancy dance on. Just watched this. Happy holidays guys!!

*IT'S ALL ABOUT THE TOES YOU'LL LOSE*
