That Pumped Up Kicks song. I have to admit I was wrong about it last night. I've only heard it three times (maybe) including Pinky's version, but I never paid attention to the lyrics before.

Very bad taste--especially for Idol.

Robert's got a quick hand.
He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan.
He's got a rolled cigarette hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid.
Yeah, he found a six shooter gun in his dad's closet hidden with a box of fun things.
And I don't even know what but he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming for you.

All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run faster than my bullet.

And not a peep from mentor Randy that this might be inappropriate?

Randy is a low information voter...everything that idiot does is in poor taste!

It’s very catchy and so you find yourself dancing and singing along with it until you realize the words are actually horrifying.

I know. I’m surprised they allowed it. And the pinky chick: ooh, isn’t it twisted and cool?!
