Pumped Up Kicks - Foster the People

While this is a very popular and catchy song, a lot of people don’t really listen to the lyrics and realize that they’re jamming out to a song about a kid going crazy and killing everybody.

Some people have speculated that the song is a reference to the Westroads Mall shooting in Omaha, Nebraska; the shooter was Robert Hawkins, and the first lyrics of the song are “Robert’s got a quick hand”. Similarly, Hawkins stole his stepfather’s AKM-style rifle, and in the song, the alleged shooter steals his dad’s revolver. However, the band’s publicist told an Omaha World Herald reporter, “This is completely false. The character name in the song is just a coincidence.”
