"(Lord it's Hard to Be Happy When You're Not) Using the Metric System by MC Lars


 

Nerdcore rapper and music producer MC Lars slays on this update of Atom and his Package's lament over the use of antiquated units of measurement.

The one beef I have with the song is the line "Well, I'm intoxicated with sports in metrics/come drink a decaliter with me."

According to the song lyrics, Atom weighs 170 pounds (that's 90 kilograms). 

Even if splitting a decaliter, this would entail downing 1.32 gallons of, presumably, beer.

According to this handy chart, twelve and a half pints would contain enough alcohol to bring a 170 pound male near the level of surgical anesthesia.
