Rock Clip of the Week - Minor Threat, Out of Step

It's been a fun and weird week, and as we enter into the heyday of summer daze, with all the weirdness around us, I'm feeling Out of Step with this world. And what better song to express that frustration than Minor Threat's early hardcore anthem "Out of Step".

Minor Threat's Wikipedia entry shows this: "Another Minor Threat song from the second EP, "Out of Step" further demonstrates the belief: "Don't smoke/Don't drink/Don't fuck/At least I can fucking think/I can't keep up/I'm out of step with the world." The "I" in the lyrics was only implied (mainly because it did not quite fit the rhythm of the song), and some in Minor Threat -- Jeff Nelson in particular -- took exception to what they saw as MacKaye's imperious attitude on the song."

Nonetheless...the song rocks. Here are two vids (they're shorties!)

Minor Threat - Out of Step (alt version)



(I) Don't smoke
Don't drink
Don't fuck
At least I can fucking think

I can't keep up,
Can't keep up
Can't keep up
Out of step with the world
