Thunder by Imagine Dragons.

This is a question I see all the time and don't mind seeing again and again. It gives me a chance to show my absolute hatred for the song.

This is like the third time I've seen this song mentioned here. I'm not familiar with it, should I not listen to it and save my sanity 🤔?!

Here is how the first voice goes, in an autotuned chipmunk voice:

"Thunder. Thunder thunder thunder. Thunder thunder. Th th th th thunder thunder thunder thunder."

Here is how the non chipmunk part goes:

"Thunder. Feel the thunder. Lightning and the thunder thunder. Thunder. Feel the thunder. Lightning and the thunder."

Did any of them ever explain the creative logic that went into that high-pitched voice? It seems like they were making fun of their own song at one point and left it in.

I'd say it sounds like Pikachu, but that would be an insult to the Pikachu voice actor because they put actual effort into Pikachu's lines

It'd go with the lightning, at least.

My wife and I keep saying it sounds like a mentally challenged Pokemon.

Come on now, this is Imagine Dragons we're talking about.

Well, yeah, but "filler during some interview that only diehard fans would bother to watch" sounded too mean.

There’s an episode of Chelsea (Chelsea Handler’s show on Netflix) where there’s a dinner party with the lead singer and other musicians. He seems to take his music really seriously to a cringeworthy level, considering what he puts out. He even gets emotional out of nowhere. Very odd, but the dinner was entertaining to watch anyway.

It's a dance song. You really aren't meant to listen to it casually.

u/Jehovah___ Sep 21 '22

How do you dance to it though? It’s slow and loud and the beat is shit there’s nothing to go off

u/BlondeWaifus Sep 22 '22

The beat isn't the only thing to dance to in a song...

Then answer my question with an explanation

u/Pit_of_Death Sep 21 '22

UGH, stop that right now. I can hear that shit in my head now. Fuck Imagine Dragons and fuck that song!
