ROCK BOTTOM

012. ROCK BOTTOM FLEXES HIS SUBVERSIVE MUSICAL PREDILECTION

2025-12-20

Rock Bottom has a video of a band performing on his laptop. He has brought the Selector to watch it, and he tells her: "THIS BAND HS GREAT LYRICS". The logo on the bass drum identifies the band as "THAT". The band begin playing. The lead singer manhandles his guitar as he sings: "nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense". The drummer and the bespectacled bassist are shown. The singer continues: "nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense". A close-up on the singer as he sings with intensity: "nonsense nonsensing nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense noooooooooooooonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense". Outside the video, the Selector asks: "WHAT IS HE SAYING?" Rock Bottom, one hand on the keyboard, answers: "I FORGET BUT IT'S GREAT. LEMME LOOK IT UP" The computer informs us of the true lyrics to the song: "the dark chemical sisters spurred in the malfeasance liebnitz purred infix or run six clean whom this purchase lies burdened habilitate hand than further fortune". It continues: "[chorus] nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsensing nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsensical unknown nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense nonsense". These lyrics extend off the screen and overlap Rock Bottom and the Selector, who look a bit confused.
