    The drum part is so gangster. Especially when it comes to the change ups, accompanied by the bass, this song would make a great hip hop break beat, but it gains this totally different aesthetic once you factor in the ‘glittery’ twinkling synth arpeggios! The video, with its filtering with solarizing effects, or whatever it is that gives it that fuzzy exposure, has its own visual aesthetic that really is perfectly matched to the music. Couldn’t have made a better more perfect video to accompany this song. The back drop beat though, could be a straight up hip hop anthem! John Maus - the most Un-SPAM thing from Austin Minnesota!

    Go for the touchdown. Yes, the touchdown!
    Fourth down at the goal
    Playing at a chance for the Super Bowl down
    By two five seconds to go fourth down, super bowl
    You’ve got to dismiss the field goal
    Forward drive across the line!
    Touchdown
    Yes, the touchdown go for the touchdown

      @@maxhinz8928 he's said that this song was inspired by hallucinations of his football coach telling him to go for the touchdown, and that following through on the advice usually went well, so i think the point is that there are certain situations in which throwing yourself at the problem with reckless abandon rather than taking a calculated "sensible" approach is better.
