Pumped Up Kicks

A song made by Foster The People named after the luxury footwear. It's known for it's particularly upbeat yet unsettling musical composition/instrumental, and dark lyrics regarding a troubled youth named "Robert" who has fantasies of shooting up his school.

If you hear someone humming this song... particularly if they're white, named Eugene, have a bowl haircut, wear a trench coat/fedora/tie under shirt/etc., sport a neck beard, and/or if they have known association with the brony, weaboo, or furry fandom. It's best if you vacate the premises ASAP.
Ted: "I got my pumped up kicks"

Scott: "Then I saw Eugene in his trench coat, looking at furries on DeviantArt, and humming Pumped Up Kicks reach into his backpack."

He used to eat tons of junk food, stuff with all sorts of sugar, salty snack foods, you name it. It doesn't help that he rarely exercised. He didn't seem to get that even the manufacturers of those foods stress the importance of a balanced diet. His wake up call was a heart attack that almost killed him. Fortunately, he took it seriously and made a lot of changes to his lifestyle.

They used to seem like they had everything. They lived well beyond their means. Most people thought they were rich. It took almost losing their house for them to start opening their eyes and living within their means. It was a real wake up call.
