The Man Don't Give a Fuck

About The Man Don't Give a Fuck

"The Man Don't Give a Fuck" is a song by Super Furry Animals, twice released as a single by the group. It is based round a sample from the Steely Dan song "Show Biz Kids" - "You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else". The sample is repeated more than 50 times and so the single is claimed to feature the word "fuck" more than any other song, but Insane Clown Posse's "Fuck the World" in fact beats it with 93 instances. However, the live re-issue of "The Man Don't Give A Fuck" broke that record. The song was originally intended as a B-side for previous single "If You Don't Want Me to Destroy You" but the group had not been able to clear the sample in time. However, they persevered and when they were able to clear the sample, released the song as a single in its own right. This arguably sealed the song's cult status among SFA fans, and it became the group's standard set-closer when playing live: the outro would often extend to ten or twenty minutes, with keyboard player Cian Ciaran in particular taking the opportunity to improvise wildly around the basic sample. A live version was released in 2004. more »

(Super Furry Animals)
Spent some times in stormy weather
Under clouds of my dilemma
Now there's nothing much to do
Except for sitting in front of televisions
Staring back at me
I'm just waiting for the microwaves
To wash me into the sea

You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else
You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else
You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else
You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else
Out of focus ideology
Keep the masses from majority
Experts blame my stupid plan
Left to bleed while vultures glide
You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else
You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else
You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else
You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else
You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else
You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else
You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else
You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else
