I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME -Modern Day Cain

IDK performance from the cable access series 'Superstar Showcase' (1983)

LYRICS:

MODERN DAY CAIN

A modern concussion 
The room is on fire
You're an upstanding model
of a modern day Cain
with impeccable style

But now you've done a little wrong
and you need to be forgiven
by the vicar and the company you keep
and then you conjure up a fiction
to get the pretty girl to listen

This is the sin
That I will confess to release myself
from consequence
And everyone can tell

The moral objection
to something so profane 
but the deepest of convictions 
are the darkest positions
little remissions for the varicose vain 

Now you've done a little wrong
and you swear you didn’t do it
but volition left you burdened with a curse
and then you conjure up a fiction
to get the pretty girls to listen

This is the sin
That I will confess to release myself
from consequence
And everyone can tell

[JulianVic]

I’m here to see Dallon’s feet movements, Ryan’s hair flips, and the grandmas amazing keyboard skills

[cardline]

I saw another IDKHBTFM vid with an older piano lady and I hope it's the same lady and she's an official part of the band because that's punk rock man

[weirdo]

I love that after dallon left panic he was just like “now i can make whatever i want.... i want to go back to the 80s”

[huds]

Ryan's hair is doing some fucking majestic things.

[julia-dnqc]

The grandma is the most important person in the band

[faebea]

IM HAVING A HEART ATTACK DALLONS DAMN SPAGHETTI LEGS ARE KILLING ME

[sophiabenzler]

THIS IS LIKE THREE MINUTES OF THE LEG THING AND RYAN FLIPPING HIS HAIR

[caitlingutierrez]

Ryan: we need someone to play the keyboard
Dallon: how about we ask this lady I picked up at the senior center
Ryan: PERFECT!

[charliem.]

Take a shot whenever Dallon does the leg thing

**dies of alcohol poisoning**

[ollie]

I refuse to see them live unless grandma is with them too. She's what really keeps the band together.

[No-kptj]

Looks like Dallon and Ryan are trapped in the 80s with Gerard Way

[lateahrietdijk-brown]

The leg thing, the sass, more broken leg thing, sticks pick to forehead, tries to eat guitar, jazz hands, more broken leg thing, having a seizure on the floor while playing guitar, silence.... that's the summary of this video... I'm concerned now...

[samanthablanco]

Dallon: *tries to put bass in mouth*
Breezy: Dallon baby no put it down

[vampirefrank]

Robot: dance *Dallon dances awkwardly* that's enough

[steezmunkey]

1:25 No, Dallon guitar picks don't go on your forehead...
1:34 No they don't go in your hair either...
1:45 Dallon guitars aren't food

[felicia]

this gives me the vibe of an alternate universe that consists solely of an abandoned mall with only one open shop, and its something random like a mattress store or something

[xfrnkierox]

ive never been jealous of a pick and a bass guitar before this moment.

[weirdcatcoaster]

For anyone wondering, Dallon does the leg thing 16 times throughout the whole video.

[grace]

Fun game idea: take a shot every time Ryan flips his hair or headbangs


Like if you die from alcohol poisoning

[jacquelineherrera-perez]

Dallon: " A modern concussion"
Umm... I think Ryan might actually be giving himself a concussion back there lmao 😂
