OK Go “You’re a Fucking Nerd and No One Likes You”

Its hard not to listen to the intro of OK Go‘s “You’re a Fucking Nerd and No One Likes You” and not immediately think of Black Sabbath‘s “War Pigs.” Unfortunately “You’re a Fucking Nerd and No One Likes You” is in no way close to being as iconic as Sabbath. Instead the track well mimics the movie it is featured in, Hot Tub Time Machine 2; it is filled with cringe-inducing lyrics disguised as cheap laughs (“I slam dunk so much poon I make Wilt Chamberlain look gay”, etc) and overall feels like a clunky derivative of their back catalog. It is disappointing considering OK Go’s previous work on soundtracks have been pretty solid (I point you to “The Greatest Song I Ever Heard” from The Greatest Movie Ever Sold soundtrack).
