Magic is everywhere in this bitch.

Jill

The fact that this video exists is proof enough, I think, of all the magic and miracles that the Insane Clown Posse discuss:

via Gabe, who I think I might be in love with. Lyrics — which are amazing — are below the fold.

If magic is all we’ve ever know
Then it’s easy to miss what really goes on
But I’ve seen miracles in every way
And I see miracles everyday
Oceans spanning beyond my sight
And a million stars way above em at night
We don’t have to be high to look in the sky
And know that’s a miracle opened wide
Look at the mountains, trees, the seven seas
And everything chilling underwater, please
Hot lava, snow, rain and fog
Long neck giraffes, and pet cats and dogs
And I’ve seen eighty-five thousand people
All in one room, together as equals
Pure magic is the birth of my kids
I’ve seen shit that’ll shock your eyelids
The sun and the moon, and even Mars
The Milky Way and fucking shooting stars
UFOs, a river flows
Plant a little seed and nature grows
Niagara falls and the pyramids
Everything you believed in as kids
Fucking rainbows after it rains
there’s enough miracles here to blow your brains
I fed a fish to a pelican at Frisco bay
It tried to eat my cell phone, he ran away
And music is magic, pure and clean
You can feel it and hear it but it can’t be seen

Music is all magic
(Are you a believer in miracles)
You can’t even hold it
(Do you notice and recognize miracles)
it’s just there in the air
(Are you a believer in miracles)
Pure motherfucking magic Right?
This shit’ll blow your fucking mind
(Do you notice and recognize miracles)

Music is a lot like love, it’s all a feeling
And it fills the room, from the floor to the ceiling

I see miracles all around me
Stop and look around, it’s all astounding
Water, fire, air and dirt
Fucking magnets, how do they work?
And I don’t wanna talk to a scientist
Y’all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed
Solar eclipse, and vicious weather
Fifteen thousand Juggalos together
And I love my mom for giving me this
Time on this planet, taking nothing for granted
I seen a caterpillar turn into a butterfly
Miracles ain’t nothing to lie
Shaggy’s little boys look just like Shaggy
And my little boy looks just like daddy
Miracles each and every where you look
And nobody has to stay where they put
This world is yours for you to explore
there’s nothing but miracles beyond your door
The Dark Carnival is your invitation
To witness that without explanation
Take a look at this fine creation
And enjoy it better with appreciation
Crows, ghosts, the midnight coast
The wonders of the world, mysteries the most
Just open your mind, and it ain’t no way
To ignore the miracles of every day

(Are you a believer in miracles)
Magic everywhere in this bitch
(Do you notice and recognize miracles)
it’s all around you, you don’t even know it
(Are you a believer in miracles) Shit’s crazy
(Do you notice and recognize miracles,
So many miracles, the magic miracles)

Are you a believer in miracles
Do you have time for the miracles
Do you notice and recognize miracles
So many miracles, the magic miracles
Are you a believer in miracles
Do you have time for the miracles
Do you notice and recognize miracles
So many miracles, the magic miracles
Are you a believer in miracles
Do you have time for the miracles
Do you notice and recognize miracles
So many miracles, the magic miracles
Are you a believer in miracles
Do you have time for the miracles
Do you notice and recognize miracles
So many miracles, the magic miracles

  1. ICP is at the very forefront of cultural relevance. They take controversial stands like “you don’t have to be high to look in the sky.” They ask questions we timorous mortals are afraid to raise, such as “Fucking magnets, how do they work? And I don’t want to talk to a scientist.”

  3. The Insane Clown Posse are neither insane, composed of licensed clowns, nor a recognizable posse as defined by the Posse Comitatus Act of 1877: please discuss.

  4. Dagnabit, Jill. I was able to enjoy the beautiful NYC weather for the most of the day, but now I just have to watch that video over and over again and wonder about magnets.

    Also, the Youtube video is stuck underneath the “recent comments,” at least in Chrome.

  5. Your comments on scientists does nothing to help or encourage the large number of female scientists that are fighting systematic sexism everyday

    1. Oh commenters who can’t be bothered to actually read or understand a post, even when that post is about a video called “Miracles” by a group called Insane Clown Posse and includes the line “Fucking magnets, how do they work? And I don’t wanna talk to a scientist” which is apparently the source of your anger with said video, I love you. Please don’t ever change.

  8. I’m appalled. I thought that Feministe was a community of intelligence, but then I come here and find terrible poetry about the beauty of intelligent design and creationism? I shudder to think of what that video may have contained. It wouldn’t load for me.

  12. “Niagara falls and the pyramids
    Everything you believed in as kids”

    I remember when I used to believe in Niagara Falls. Man, I was so naive.

  15. Science blows my mind every day, and I am a scientist, so I’m not really sure what the big deal is. This kind of reminds me of my friend’s thesis defense two weeks ago, in which he said, “Check out the amount of shortening on the folds associated with these thrust faults. This all had to happen in 200,000 years. If you’ll excuse me for a moment, I just need to get this out of the way: This is pretty much the raddest thing ever, in my opinion, and I feel lucky to have worked here.”

  16. I’m not even sure if half of these comments are serious or not.

    That’s just another one of them motherfucking mysteries. They’re all in this bitch.

  20. I…what? When did ICP (the band that brought you songs such as “I Stab People,” “Bitches,” and “I Want My Shit”) become a Christian act?

  22. Um, is no one going to comment on the elephant in the room here?

    UFOs? Just, like, everyone sees them, obviously, if they’d only just look around a bit? I have just had it with this elitism by the extraterrestrially aware toward the rest of us.

    1. If you post ICP on a feminist website, you fucking fail

      If you fail to understand that we are making fun of them, you fucking fail.

  26. So I just actually looked up some ICP lyrics and the there’s really now words. Here are some lyrics to a little ditty called “panties.”

    Pull your panties to the side
    Pull your panties to the side
    Pull your panties pull your panties
    Pull your panties to the side
    In the girls bathroom and fucking hoes
    In the girls bathroom and fucking hoes

    Pull them to the left!
    Pull them to the right!
    Put that leg over there!
    And this one over here!

    We in your daddys basment bitch shut the fuck up shut the fuck up
    I say shut the fuck up shut the fuck up i say shut the fuck up shut the fuck up
    We in your daddys basment bitch shut the fuck up shut the fuck up
    I say shut the fuck up shut the fuck up i say shut the fuck up shut the fuck up

    ???????!!!!!!!

  27. The funny thing is, I read this (admittedly too quickly) and thought it was saying, “People look for miracles from the sky but we live -surrounded- by miracles — but we’re too jaded and too close to notice them”. I didn’t catch it as anti-science until rereading it.

    I’m always amazed at the fundamental -paucity- of miracles in the worldview of the anti-science (really, anti-Enlightenment) crowd. You can build a whole being from a tiny strand of double-helix. We can cure the plague and feed billions. You flick a switch and a genie carries light from a thousand miles away and brightens your room — without fail, -every day-. You can talk to people across the nation and look at people from across the world and we have frakking -walked on the Moon-.

    And the best these people can imagine is a little light show in the sky? Sad.

  28. Well I didn’t think that it was anti- or pro- anything; I just thought it was the funniest shit EVERRRRRRR!

    Jill wins for making my night.

    I think I’ve narrowed down my favorite lines to:
    “Fucking rainbows after it rains”
    “I fed a fish to a pelican at Frisco bay; It tried to eat my cell phone, he ran away”

    But really, not only is the content priceless, but the rhyming scheme is award-worthy. Happy miracles to you, Insane Clown Posse!

  29. How do you political bloggers stand all the hate you endure in comments? How, Jill, how?! I mean, you write a funny post about just about anything you find funny, and you get someone hating on you. Call me weak, but I think I’d give up after a few weeks of that. Anyway, thanks for the good work here. I learn a lot from the blog, and I’m not exactly a political ally.

  30. DEAR GOD, THE VISUAL AT 0:47.

    Opie Curious, I noticed the “UFOs” line too. But then this song features a lot of stuff we only believed in as kids, such as Niagara Falls and the pyramids.

    Thank you for bringing this into my life, Jill.

  31. Oh juggalos… Those adorable little misanthropes. Apparently they like something called faygo? We have a gas station convenience store in town that prominently advertises that they have the drink. Who knew small town Mcnowhere was a Juggalo goldmine.

    On second thought, that sounds about right.

  32. Basically a song about how a lot of their music, acts, metaphors have been about God and choosing between Heaven and Hell. There is something I think I kinda like about them, they have an interesting way with words to say the least.

    I prefer my interpretation.

  33. We should applaud for the achievement of beating out Kid Rock as the worst musical act from Detroit.

  34. How do you political bloggers stand all the hate you endure in comments? How, Jill, how?! I mean, you write a funny post about just about anything you find funny, and you get someone hating on you. Call me weak, but I think I’d give up after a few weeks of that. Anyway, thanks for the good work here. I learn a lot from the blog, and I’m not exactly a political ally.

    Thanks, Chad, I appreciate that very much.

  37. So, its a miracle that Shaggy’s little boys look just like Shaggy? Was there any question that clownbreeding would produce clown-like offspring? Was there?

    And also, I just spent 20 minutes lookin at shit that I knew – really knew – would shock my eyelids.

  39. @Claudia ” ‘Niagara falls and the pyramids
    Everything you believed in as kids’

    I remember when I used to believe in Niagara Falls. Man, I was so naive.”

    Heh! I can’t help but transpose that into the voice of Dale Gribble (from King of the Hill.)

  40. How do magnets work?

    I mean seriously. This is a very prominent question of miracleology. Inquiring minds want to know.

    I postulate that the way said magnets function is that there is indeed magic everywhere up in this bitch. I have come to this conclusion based on the fact that there are miracles all around you, you don’t even know.

    1. I, uh… I mean, this is funny and all, but what’s it doing on this blog?

      I dunno. Because I write for this blog and I also like funny things? Didn’t realize we had a rulebook.
