I Can Not Breathe in Your Atmosphere

If I ran a game store I would like to play the song I Can Not Breathe in Your Atmosphere by Future Folk, but it's NSFW.

Two space aliens from the planet Hondo have arrived on Earth. Their own planet has no music and no art, so the two are inspired by what they encounter on our home world. They don their space suits, grab a guitar and banjo, and form a folk music band: Future Folk. General Trius and The Mighty Kevin play songs about adapting to life on Earth or lamenting what they miss from home. Their subject matter is what makes me want to play their music for gamers – it's bluegrass sci-fi played for a smirk. Their songs are usually family-friendly, but in I Can Not Breathe in Your Atmosphere they slip in an f-bomb. In the song, the duo sings about the pleasantries of Earth but temper the good vibes by complaining about their need to keep on their space helmets.

I Can Not Breathe in Your Atmosphere is from their 2012 album, Future Folk, Vol. 1. They also have a feature length film called The History of Future Folk that gives the story for their journey to Earth and first forays into music.

I Can Not Breathe in Your Atmosphere lyrics

I like the way your planet feels
I like to smell the daffodils
And taste the tasty Earth meals
Then swim with timid harbor seals
Your planet's stocked with lots of beer
Plus I like actor Greg Kinnear
But there's one problem still here
I can't breathe in your atmosphere

I can not breathe in your atmosphere
I can not breathe in your atmosphere
My lungs are starting to sear
I can not breathe in your atmosphere

I simply can't breathe in your atmosphere

I like the feel of terrycloth
I like to play Nintendo Golf
Dance around like Baryshnikov
Still I can't take this helmet off
I like to rock to Tears for Fears
Tampa Bay Fuckin' Buccaneers
But there's one problem still here
I can't breathe in your atmosphere

I can not breathe in your atmosphere
I can not breathe in your atmosphere
My lungs are starting to sear
I can not breathe in your atmos-
I just can’t breathe in your atmos-
I can not breathe in your atmosphere
