Butterflies and Hurricanes

A song by Muse that presents the risk of reducing you to a overwhelmed pudding of what you previously were, simultaneously changing your views on the limits of man, resurrecting your faith in modern music, whacking you with every pleasant or good thing that has ever happened in your life back into the front of your mind, and making you question why you have gone this long without hearing it.

This masterpiece that the English language merely gave the name ‘song’ to features a piano solo that will make you burst into tears. You will automatically assume that the pianist is just the pianist due to the solo’s advanced composure, but in reality (of which you have lost the meaning of after hearing the song) this virtuoso is also the gifted-fingered guitarist, angelic vocals, and song-writer- or more fitting- composer. After listening you may find yourself using British spelling, even though you’re American, talking fast, learning the alphabet backwards, and being a cooler person. Upon listening to all of Muse’s other songs you most likely get the same effect, but this one’s my favourite (hehe… spelling).

1. A man travelled back in time to prehistoric ages and stepped on a butterfly, and the universe was entirely different when he got back.

2. The flap of a butterfly's wings changed the air around it so much that a tornado broke out two continents away.

buckle up buttercup

Buckle up Buttercup is a sarcastic expression, denoting that one should get ready for some upcoming unpleasant or extreme action.

It is a bit of a sarcastic portmanteau between the "buckle up" phrase used to get people to use seat belts and "pucker up buttercup" meaning to prepare for a kiss. The sarcasm reverses the positive connotations.
Buckle up Buttercup, you just flipped by Bitch switch.
