lyrics
Welcome to the biggest party you've seen,
we've got things that you wouldn't believe ...
just wait 'til you go down the LHC waterslide.
Bring your sunscreen, glasses, bathing suit,
bring your grandma, she'd love the bag of loot
of fun stuff, mysteries, and surprises inside.
DNA strands used as noodle swords,
petri dishes are but boogie boards,
but whirlpool centrifuges just might be your demise.
Lab gloves make awesome water balloons,
what we're doing here you'll see fairly soon,
just try not to get too much chlorine in your eyes.
Welcome to the biggest bash you've had,
let's hope the neighbors don't get too mad ...
though I heard Venusians aren't too kind.
The sun's indeed a giant disco ball
We're dancing off a waterfall
The antics here are off the wall
We're glad to know we knew you all
We'll keep on going 'til there's nothing behind
Bunsen burners grilling hot dogs,
rolling logs and flipping pogs,
earth slammed into ocean, wondering "Why?"
Cities drowning as we get a tan,
party-pooping geezers building dams,
you will have so much fun before you die.
Submerged underwater now,
oceans upon oceans and nothing below.
Trapped in, not a lot now,
drowning your sorrows because there's nowhere to go.

Platypus Egg began back in 2008. United by their fascination with experimental music, they began to explore a way to make
music that could bridge all their tastes. Their sound slowly morphed from jarring, and at times uncomfortable to a coherent, vulnerable voice. Fans usually say "You won't get it by just listening to one song. Once you hear 8 or 10, that's when it starts to make sense"...more
as someone who knows how much it takes to record a song, i commend erik, wes and , ryan for listening to mmmbop as many times as they did to make it awesome. great job on the other tracks as well! Jonathan Poulin
The songs are fantastic and fun - it's so easy for me to listen to this album on repeat. And the album cover is so great. The pun on the title just makes me chuckle every time I look at it. I really wish I could buy a physical copy of your other albums as well! tousledbirb
