Jumping up and down the floor
My head is an animal
And once there was an animal
It had a son that mowed the lawn
The son was an ok guy
He had a pet dragonfly
The dragonfly it ran away
But it came back with a story to say
Her dirty paws and furry coat
She ran down the forest slope
The forest of talking trees
They used to sing about the birds and the bees
The bees had declared a war
The sky wasn’t big enough for them all
The birds they got help from below
From Dirty Paws and the creatures of snow
And for a while things were cold
They were scared down in their holes
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines
But she and her furry friends
Took down the queen bee and her men
And that’s how the story goes
The story of the beast with those four dirty paws

Dirty Paws歌词

Of Monsters And Men

Of Monsters and Men，来自冰岛的独立民谣乐团，由Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdottir （女主唱，吉他手）、Ragnar Dorhallsson（男主唱，吉他手）、Brynjar Leifsson（吉他手）、Arnar Rosenkranz Hilmarsson（鼓手）、Kristjan Páll Kristjanssond（贝斯手）、árni Guejónsson (键盘手，手风琴）组成。乐队成立于2010年并在同年获得了Músíktilraunir音乐竞赛冠军。隔年2月签给Record Records唱片公司，9月即在冰岛发行首张专辑《My Head Is an Animal》，并在美国公告牌排行榜取得了第六名的成绩。其中的单曲《Little Talks》在许多国家都榜上有名，在美国公告牌另类音乐排行榜上更是名列榜首。被《Rolling Stone》杂志称为“新一代的Arcade Fire”。值得一提的是，乐队赢得了2013年欧洲跨国界音乐奖，该奖旨在奖励在欧洲各国取得成功的音乐艺人。在音乐创作上，乐队常使用奇幻主题的歌词，用二重唱与悦耳的民谣旋律编织歌曲。演奏时常使用小号，吉他，钢琴，手风琴和低音吉他。通过对流行摇滚成分与叙事曲风格的结合，乐队打造出了自己富有感染力的欧洲民谣摇滚印记。
