So, I see that a lot of people are worried that Car Kids isn't on the album (which boggles my mind because none of us even knows what Car Kids sounds like). I actually never thought Car Kids was a song. I thought it was a lyric or a concept for the album. But, I suddenly got this idea.

 

The artwork for Paradise is the part of the artwork of Mylo Xyloto that has Car Kids written on it. It's just cut off in the Paradise artwork. Maybe Car Kids will be a b-side to Paradise. Thoughts?

I don't think Paradise will have a b-side, but it would be pretty awesome. And I'd love to hear Car Kids.

 

Edit: proof that it actually is a song, at 11 minutes left: http://www.20min.ch/videotv/?channel_id=8&video_id=14917

No. (It would have been announced by now)

I don't get why people are freaking out over a song which may or may not even be any good :P

 

For all we know, it could be an instrumental or be the same length as Parachutes (the song, that is) :shrug:

Car Kids could turn out to be a hidden track, they usually have at least one hidden track on an album.

Maybe Paradise will get the EP treatment closer to the album release date à la ETIAW...?

 

oh how we speculate...

No. (It would have been announced by now)

 

Not necessarily. ETIAW came out stand alone then was announced to have MM and MTM a week or so later.

I don't get why people are freaking out over a song which may or may not even be any good :P

 

:lol: Me neither, but this one I'm obsessed with somehow. Don't really know why...

Car Kids is dead :blank:

it will be a hidden track

I actually think Car Kids was the first name for Charlie Brown as there are various signs ('I took a car downtown where the lost boys meet,...all the boys all the girls").

 

I could be wrong but I don't think so! Maybe there will be a song that will be more suited to the 'Car Kids' theme.

Car Kids is dead :blank:

 

ohnoes

Someone please fill me in as to what the big deal is with Car Kids? We don't know what it is. Geez.

How about hurts like heaven been the b side, they put two tracks on the last single that are on the album so it isn't impossible

Someone please fill me in as to what the big deal is with Car Kids? We don't know what it is. Geez.

dp fail

Someone please fill me in as to what the big deal is with Car Kids? We don't know what it is. Geez.

 

Well, we know it's a song. It's about old people complaining about kids. (A guy named Chris Martin says so in this interview: http://www.20min.ch/videotv/?channel...video_id=14917)

And it's on covers and T-shirts. And we have the CK stuff.

So, enough to get obsessed about.

 

But yeah, we may never hear about it again.

So, enough to get obsessed about.

 

Clearly. :rolleyes:

In this 2009 interview, with 11 minutes left, Chris said that Car Kids would be about "old people complaining about young people" and that it was meant to be a song about how when you get to be 40, or even only 30, you start to talk about how "the kids, they're different now; we weren't like that".

It's from quite a while ago, so they had been writing for this song for quite some time, which makes me think that they must use it for something at some point. Hopefully. :confused:

I think we are talking about Charlie Brown, as from looking at the lyrics.

Does anyone want a llama? apart from mentioning car kids everyday, i swear he's a cool llama! :D
