About This Track

'Alien Blues' is the fifth track on Vundabar's album 'Gawk', released in March 2017. The Boston trio's most recognisable song found a second life in 2022 when it went viral on TikTok, seven years after its original release, and became their most-streamed track. The lyrics sketch a portrait of social alienation and self-loathing, the narrator confessing they only talk to dogs because the animals don't understand them, wondering if yellow teeth might be more palatable if they were white like everyone else's. Vundabar frame mental-health struggle and relationship dysfunction in cryptic, disjointed fragments, the delivery veering between deflection and raw admission. The song's genre-blending sound and oblique storytelling have made it one of the band's most iconic pieces, its late virality a testament to the durability of its unease.

"Alien Blues" is a track by Vundabar, from the album Gawk, released 23rd July 2015. The track is 2:36 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Vundabar.

Lyrics

Alien Blues

Was it the best you ever had? Was it the worst you'd never know?
I try to tell you what I think and play it off like it's a joke
Oh no, more surprises, guess it's like this
I'd do anything for you, Mrs. Highness

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh

The sun is fun, the land is dandy
I only talk to dogs because they don't understand me
My teeth are yellow, hello world
Would you like me a little better if they were white like yours?

I need to purge my urges
Shame, shame, shame on you
Alibi to justify, somebody to blame
It's a halibut, party bitch, give it a name and say
Hey, hey

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Uh-oh, uh-oh, ooh-ooh
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
