"Brianstorm" (often mistaken as 'Brainstorm') is a song by Sheffield-based indie rock band Arctic Monkeys and 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 single was released in physical formats on 16 April, the week before the release of the album, and charted at #2 in the UK Singles Chart behind Beyoncé' and Shakira's "Beautiful Liar." It is the band's fourth single in the United Kingdom, following number ones "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor", and "When the Sun Goes Down", as well as the non-album track "Leave Before the Lights Come On". The song was noticeably louder and heavier than previous efforts, marking the band's evolved sound.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Brian, top marks for not trying So kind of you to bless us with your effortlessness We're grateful and so strangely comforted And I wonder, are you putting us under? 'Cause we can't take our eyes off the t-shirt and ties combination Well, see you later, innovator [Verse 2] Some want to kiss, some want to kick you There's not a net that 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 saying, "Use me, show me the jacuzzi" I imagine that it's there on a plate, your whole rendezvous rate Means that you'll never be frightened to make 'em 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 [Verse 3] (Brian) Calm, collected and commanding (Top marks for not trying) You leave the other story standing With your renditions and jokes, bet there's hundreds of blokes That have wept 'cause you've stolen their thunder Are you putting us under? 'Cause we can't take our eyes off the t-shirt and ties combination Well, see you later, innovator
