Superorganism – Scruffy Theory

Song of the Day (Chaotic Neutral): Superorganism – Something For Your M.I.N.D.

Day 17.

This plodding, downtempo Indie Pop gem first came to my attention during the first episode of the third season of the Marvel Comic’s TV adaptation Legion. This bizarre but wonderful series implements music & performances throughout & the band themselves appear in the scene, performing the song.

I’ll include below both the original video & the scene from Legion. Both are fantastic.

I know you think I’m a psychopath
A Democrat lurking in the dark
This sucks, I’m the K-mart soda jerk
Cirque du trash, I kept the stash
Of cocoa candy straight from Japan
Hologram Anne, she was never as near
I think you know what I need to get by
Something for your mind (mind), mind (mind), mind (mind)
Something for your mind (mind), mind, mind (mind)
Something for your mind (mind, mind, mind) (무엇인가 정신에 집어넣으세요)
(마음에 어떤 것 필요합니까?)
Something for your mind (mind, mind) (정신에 집어넣으세요)
(정신에 집어넣으세요)
Something for your, for your
M-I, M-I, M-I-N-D
M-I, M-I, M-I-N-D
I know you think I’m a sociopath
“My lovely prey, ” I’m a cliche
Make way I’m in my Pepsi mood
Mama needs food, how about a barbecue?
For us the bourgeoisie, so carefree
Remember when we?
I don’t know what you need to get by
Something for your mind (mind), mind (mind), mind (mind)
Something for your mind (mind), mind, mind (mind)
Something for your mind (mind, mind, mind)(무엇인가 정신에 집어넣으세요)
(마음에 어떤 것 필요합니까?)
Something for your mind (mind, mind) (정신에 집어넣으세요)
(정신에 집어넣으세요)
Something for your, for your, for your (for your)
M-I, M-I, M-I-N-D
M-I, M-I, M-I-N-D

In my recent post about Sharon Van Etten & Josh Homme’s new cover of (What’s so Funny ’bout) Peace, Love and Understanding? I also shared a version of the song performed by the cast of the Marvel TV show, Legion. music is integral to the madcap, retrofuturistic worlds portrayed in this most bizarre of shows. In the first episode of season 3, Indie Pop collective Superorganism actually appear in person to welcome new character, Switch (Lauren Tsai), into the story during their 2017 single, Something for your M.I.N.D. To longtime fans of the show, this psychedelic sequence should not be too much of a surprise.

Later on in season 3 David (the central character), due to time travel (kinda), is reunited with his deceased mother. During this sequence the actors portraying David (Dan Stevens) & his mother Gabrielle (Stephanie Corneliussen) perform an excellent cover of the Pink Floyd classic Mother. As a sidenote, the show also features a character named Syd Barrett so it’s always worn it’s love for Floyd on it’s sleeve. This video is the best I could find for this particular song.

Let’s not forget this huge ensemble recording of Nick Lowe’s classic which I shared previously. This amazing sequence plays out During the show’s amazing final scenes.

One which I’d forgotten about, but was reminded by a comment on one of the other YouTube videos was this version of The Who’s Behind Blue Eyes from season 2. This is during a fight between David & The Shadow King.

Back to series 3 and we have this Rap Battle (used to represent a psychic duel) between Oliver Bird (Jemaine Clement) & Jerome “The Big Bad” Wolf (Jason Mantzoukas).

Hope you’ve enjoyed the videos.
