Arctic Monkeys - Brianstorm Video and Lyrics

Brianstorm by Arctic Monkeys, Music Video and Lyrics

Brianstorm” (often mistaken as ‘Brainstorm’) is the opening track on their second album, Favourite Worst Nightmare. The song was released as the first single from that album on 2 April 2007, debuting at #11 in the UK Singles Chart via downloads alone.

The music video for the song features the band playing in a sparse sepia set, interspersed with clips of female dancers in front of a large computerised display, stock footage from old medical educational programs and brief flashes of images of objects mentioned in the lyrics, such as “Brian”, “jacuzzi” and lightning in place of “thunder”.

Arctic Monkeys - Brianstorm Lyrics

Brian,
Top marks for not tryin’
So kind of you to bless us with your effortlessness
We’re grateful and so strangely comforted

And I wonder are you puttin’ us under
Cause we can’t take our eyes off the t-shirt and ties combination
Well see you later, innovator

Some want to kiss some want to kick you
There’s not a net you couldn’t slip through
Or at least that’s the impression I get cause you’re smooth and you’re wet
And she’s not aware yet but she’s yours

She’ll be sayin’ use me
Show me the jacuzzi
I imagine that it’s there on a plate
Your rendezvous rate means that you’ll never be frightened to make them wait for a while
I doubt it’s your style not to get what you set out to acquire
The eyes are on fire
You are the unforecasted storm

(Brian)
Calm, collected, and commandin’
(Top marks for not tryin’)
You made the other stories standin’
With your renditions and jokes
Bet there’s hundreds of blokes that have wept cause you’ve stolen their …thunder
Are you puttin’ us under

Cause we can’t take our eyes off the t-shirt and ties combination
Well see you later, innovator
