Talk:Dirt Bike

From This Might Be A Wiki

In the mid part of the career Flans has started writing songs that really revolve around his voice. Allowing him to sing in a rather sickly pretty pretty voice the downside is there really is no interesting musical backing. The bike as a deity seems forced. Another Flans filler. I wonder if Linnell minds. (mr Tuck)

Filler? I disagree. This is one of my favorite tracks on the album! (GFM)

Yeah, Dirt Bike is certainly not filler. A brilliantly constructed Flansburgh song, possibly him at (or near) his best. -CapitalQ / @ / 09:42, 2 Jun 2006 (CDT)
I also agree. The song is beautiful. I always get chills listening to this song. I think the only filler on John Henry is "opinion filler"...some songs on the album work for others while others don't. This song works for me. :) - Overjoy

This is interesting... on 4-12-08 at 9:05 am, this song is the step above its (other thing) counterpart in the ratings list. I think it's fascinating mostly because the "other thing" version is much better, and should be a step above the john henry version. Mr. 77

AMAZING! :O --Luke 14:56, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
