The Doubleclicks - Dimetrodon

The Doubleclicks son Angela y Aubrey Webber, dos hermanas de Portland (Oregon, Estados Unidos) que tocan el cello y el ukelele y cantan sobre Dungeons & Dragons, dinosaurios o hacen adaptaciones de Jane Austen. Vamos, que son un par de frikis y están orgullosas de serlo. Comenzaron a publicar canciones en su canal de YouTube en 2011, y en 2012 editaron su primer disco, “Chainmail and Cello”.

En 2013, sacan su segundo disco, "Lasers and Feelings", en el cual se acompañan de una banda. Una de sus últimas canciones es "Dimetrodon", que según ellas trata sobre como hacer frente a los días malos. Y basicamente consiste en pensar en Dimetrodon... Todo muy bizarro. Ahí dejo el video:



La letra es la siguiente:

When I wake up on the wrong side of the planet
and the creamer for my coffee has gone bad
and the people on the streets should really can it
cause I don't think they would like me when I'm mad

Down at the bottom, I have a secret trick
I have a thing to bring me up when I am low
it's simple and it's easy and it's real quick
and it went extinct two hundred million years ago

Dimetrodon
They ate sharks and were 10 feet long
Dimetrodon
it's a thought that I can count on

When my darkest thoughts have got a hold on me
I close my eyes and I remember all their giant teeth
to shake off all the problems I've piled on
I picture the sail-backed giants of Dimetrodon

I am walking in a mall or in an airport
and I'm filling up with loneliness and fear
like I'm not really a member of this species
and I don't think I am special, I'm just weird

when I am feeling this, one thing will make me smile
there are other folks who never quite fit in
they're kinda mammals but they look like reptiles
but I bet that difference never bothered them

Dimetrodon
They ate sharks and were 10 feet long
Dimetrodon
it's a thought that I can count on

When my darkest thoughts have got a hold on me
I close my eyes and I remember all their giant teeth
to shake off all the problems I have piled on
I picture the sail-backed giants of Dimetrodon

be yourself
count on your inner strength
find your people
hunt the weak

Dimetrodon
They ate sharks and were 10 feet long
Dimetrodon
it's a thought that I can count on

When my darkest thoughts have got a hold on me
I close my eyes and I remember all their giant teeth
to shake off all the problems I have piled on
I picture the sail-backed giants of Dimetrodon
Dimetrodon, Dimetrodon
