No one man should have all that LOBSTER

[@rtyuik7]

"...al those Towels" was my idea xD

[@frettyjay]

And everybody had matching towels

[@ElronHumpperdink]

Damn, I typed it and you beat me. Love that I dialed into other funny comments! This community is witty for sure.

[@miserydark1299]

My fat ass should

[@pryingeyes1551]

Does the man possess the lobster, or through glorification on the street, has the lobster come to possess the man?

[@harmlessheartbreak]

This sounds like it should be playing on a Scooby Doo chase montage.

[@mhurgle]

The hivemind really just works like that, huh.
(Thought this too)

[@BoogSReviews]

Ive always thought the music could go to some horror movie while someone is being chased by the killer/monster.

[@sully2932]

Yes, I was thinking it could be some villain theme song from the 60s Batman series

[@robertbrowniejunior902]

No duh the whole point of the band was bassicly like 60s surf its made for chase sceenes

These two songs go together like butter and lobster.

[@miserydark1299]

Now I want Red Lobster... oh wait....
Edit: *Plays this in Red Lobster* 🦞 Okay now it’s Rock Lobster.

[@RandyPeterson17]

Goes together like lobster and boiling water

Read this comment at 2:00 and the closeup shot of blurry faces really sealed the deal for me

[@PyrrhusBrin]

The implication

[@bighandsbeno1157]

This unironically absolutely slaps, absolutely sickening 10/10.

[@jandastroy]

I threw up twice and now I want lobster because of this mashup.

[@coreycasciano3255]

Rock Lobster already slaps

[@klswimmer15]

Rock Lobster would be the show theme, this would be the hip version they play at the end of the first movie

[@mushroompasta3809]

This song plays in a 90s teen comedy about a kid who accidentally steals millions from the mob.
It plays as he's skating through the mall while gangsters chase him and keep tripping over other shoppers.

[@SeriouslySketchy]

Underrated comment 😂👌

[@eveoairo]

can we make this a real thing please

[@jaylindr3723]

Why does this sound like the plot of like 40 different movies

[@Ars-Nova258]

At this point I stopped questioning how these work and just click as soon as I seen them.

[@jessipanda]

[@lucasneedham5630]

he was right no one really should have all that power

[@johnathanmendoza369]

the backing vocals blend so well with Kate Pierson's "woo's", how unexpectedly good

[@Jeush]

As someone who's never heard POWER until now, I deadass thought that was part of Rock Lobster

[@NotRealPhil]

I’m telling my kids this is the unreleased original track

[@Champiness]

Like the original version of “Waves” that was just him rapping over Enigma’s “Return To Innocence” but with way higher stakes

[@pspctv.1921]

That doesn’t work because it’s slightly believable.

[@switchblade6]

Original track for which

You’ve struck gold here, William. This undeniably slaps.

[@notmychairnotmyproblem]

Slaps harder than Ike Turner

seriously though if an artist came out with a style like this i'd fucking lose my shit

[@neonrainbow9033]

ever heard of gorillaz?

[@RSpracticalshooting]

@@neonrainbow9033 Gorillaz are nothing like this.

[@neonrainbow9033]

@@RSpracticalshooting it's definitly similar to their older music. their newer album nt so much. although it's great too.

[@HornedBee]

Its like less agressive rage against the machine

[@wag-wankenobi1626]

Deluxe - Daniel would be a good place to start, very very similar vibes to this.

[@gabejohnson92]

It's like glimpsing into an alternate universe where left is right, blue is red, and this is what Kanye normally sounds like. And they have no idea how good they have it.

[@luke8179]

the intro being pitched up to be the background vocals has me crying😭

[@jacobfilderman]

As someone from Maine imagine my surprise when I'm in the middle of vibin and all of a sudden Red's Eats shows up out of absolutely no where and hits me in the face like a rock lobster

@Juki Mars Sir, I am a Yank and I don't even understand this. But if you think about it you can say the same about you Southerners with the slang terms and accent.

I wasn't paying that much attention, and then all of a sudden "Is that Red's?"

[@NLoooo]

i like how the moment he says "i guess every superhero need his theme music" it actually sounds like superhero theme music

[@Graysett]

Still yet to hear a version of Power that isn't an absolute banger.

[@JackTR21]

That's basically what I was thinking. This song just reinforces how good Power is

[@projectx-1368]

It goes with everything like the Thomas The Train theme.
…actually, that might be a good idea.

[@j.harris1351]

@@youngchaosfernandes this song actually came out in the 70s technically but the b52s definitely play with that 60s sound and ideas but mix them with the wild energy of late 70s and early 80s punk/post-punk and new wave

[@clarold]

You’ve been knocking it out of the park lately in terms of song choices

[@jdshort]

If anyone in Kanye’s circle shows this to him, he’ll actually use it at a show. And probably take 100% credit for it.
