Compare revision #1 with #2 for "The Strokes - Reptilia"

+ "Reptilia" is a song from the Strokes second studio album "Room on Fire," released on October 28, 2003. Album itself took its name from a line of this song, "The room is on fire as she's fixing her hair."
+ 
 ## Story behind the song
+ 
+ The title "Reptilia" can refer to the "reptilian brain," the central part of the human brain that handles basic emotions such as love and hate. Though, possibly, the title can be a comparison of the girl in the song, who doesn't care about the guy, and Reptiles, who are cold blooded creatures. <ref name="genius1">{{cite Genius.com|url="https://genius.com/The-strokes-reptilia-lyrics"|title="'Reptilia' by The Strokes"}}</ref>
+ 
+ When the song came out as a single in 2004, the Strokes took the image for the cover from the Atari 1980 video game "Centipede."
+ 
+ The lead singer [[Julian Casablancas]] noticed this image at Drew Barrymore's house, "Drew has [the game] at her place. It's such a cool image. I saw it on the side of the machine and said, 'Hey, look — it's Reptilia. Done!' There are always so many different parts in a song that it's like some indistinct monster. The image sort of matched. It just all made sense. So why fight it?" <ref>{{cite Entertainment Weekly|url="http://ew.com/article/2004/05/14/arcade-game-inspires-strokes/"|title="Arcade game inspires the Strokes"}}</ref>
