LETS DANCE TO JOY DIVISION AND CELEBRATE THE IRONY"!

whats ironic about that?is it cos he is dead and cant dance?am i being a retard here?



  • better if it was

    LETS DANCE TO JOY DIVISION AND CELEBRATE THE IRONING!

    • the ironing is delicious

      I don't think you can discuss the lyrical integrity of a band like The Wombats.

  • I think its because

    The Wombats are idiots?

    • is it though just cos theyre shit at lyrics?

      or are they clever

      • I am yet to see their cleverness

        t might be that Joy Division are kinda perseaved as a depresing band so dancng to them is ironic as you should be siting with your head in your hands weeping..... but who knows.

        • Let's kill The Wombats and just celebrate...

          maybe?

        • /\

          this.

          But I despise the Wobmats as much as, possibly more than the Kooks for this blast of "irony".

          Hope they get dropped.

          • *Wombats

            sigh

            • They would be a thousand times more tolerable

              if they were called Wobmats, though.

  • I think

    it's meant to be reflective of the next line, "everything is going wrong but we're so happy". Because Joy Division are very gloomy, you see. Except they're the fools, because some Joy Division songs are eminently danceable, and in Transmission it's implicitly suggested you do so.

    Why they think the director is solely responsible for the poor quality of a rom-com is another matter entirely.

  • Didn't they

    explain in an interview that it's a remark on Curtis' epilepsy and how, during gigs with quick changing lights, he'd have an epileptic fit and it looked like he was dancing?

    They didn't?

    Oh.

  • True or False?

  • This song was written

    for the sole purpose of making Ian Curtin spin in his grave like a corpse in a fucking mixer.
