Fireflies from Hell, aka, I Desperately Need Satellite Radio in My Car

I need to smack some sense into the person that keeps requesting that Fireflies song by Owl City. And I am convinced that it is only one person that keeps calling into the radio station over and over again because how many people could actually like that song? In order not to get caught this person must be disguising his voice or using fake accents every time he calls. Or maybe he is bullying defenseless children and the elderly into making requests on his behalf. I am serious, people. This person is clearly insane and not to be trusted.


Listen to me, whoever you are: that song is weird and so are you. It is about bugs. I agree that fireflies are the most magical insects of the forest, but let’s get serious. At one point the singer says that he wants to have “one thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs.” Then he says that he wants the bugs to teach him how to dance. Sure he paints a pretty picture, but the reality is that ten thousand lightning bugs would swarm your ass. It would be like the apocalypse. I would be scared shitless. Only a lunatic would want to dance around hugging a bunch of bugs. Get a girlfriend, weirdo.

As a matter of fact, I Googled other songs by Owl City, and the band seems to have an infatuation with all things gay. Their song titles include the following:

  • Fireflies
  • Rainbows
  • Vanilla Twilights
  • Birds
  • Wings of birds
  • Hot air balloons

  1. Agreed. That song makes me want to punch a firefly. It also makes me visually picture a globe. Which is not fun for me.
