Man, the other day
I was trying to figure out how many letters was in the alphabet
It took me all day, but you know I did it
You wanna know how many letters there are?
26 letters in the alphabet!

26 letters in the alphabet
I wear a shower cap so I don't get wet
I put on my shoes so my feet don't hurt
And go to the floor with Ernie and Bert

When I'm on the floor, I'm singin'
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
When I'm on the floor, I'm singin'
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

I got lots of friends, so I don't need pets
26 letters in the alphabet
Ernie got wasted and Bert went flat
They got kicked out and they can't come back

So they're standing outside, singin'
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Yeah, they're standing outside, singin'
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Yeah, you know they outside

Do the Ernie (Who's inside?)
Do the Bert (Who's outside?)
Shake your milky (Who's upside?)
Chocolate shirt (Who's downside?)

Do the Ernie (Who's inside?)
Do the Bert (Who's outside?)
Shake your milky (Who's upside?)
Chocolate shirt (Who's downside?)

Do the Ernie (Who's inside?)
(26 letters in the alphabet)
Do the Bert (Who's outside?)
Shake your milky (Who's upside?)
(26 letters in the alphabet)
Chocolate shirt (Who's downside?)

Do the Ernie (Who's inside?)
(26 letters in the alphabet)
Do the Bert (Who's outside?)
Shake your milky (Who's upside?)
(26 letters in the alphabet)
Chocolate shirt (Who's downside?)

26 letters in the alphabet (Here we go!)
26 letters in the alphabet (Yeah!)
26 letters in the alphabet (Here we go!)
26 letters in the alphabet (Woo!)
26 letters in the alphabet (Yeah!)
26 letters in the alphabet (Yeah!)
26 letters in the alphabet

Man, I didn't know I was so smart...my brain hurts
My brain hurts!

Linkin Park

Hybrid Theory isn’t just the title of Linkin Park’s chart-topping debut album, but a career mission statement.

From day one, the same six players (lead vocalist Chester Bennington, drummer/percussionist Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, bassist Dave ‘Phoenix’ Farrell, DJ/Programmer Joe Hahn, and keyboardist, guitarist, and co-lead vocals Mike Shinoda) built the band by fusing all their favorite styles of music into one unmistakable signature sound. With each album, Linkin Park defiantly challenges themselves and their fans by blasting into new musical territory. After setting the template for rock that incorporated hip-hop influences with Hybrid Theory and Meteora, they shifted gears completely and defied expectations with the polychromatic Minutes to Midnight, and again with the esoteric A Thousand Suns, before melding a piece of them all into 2012’s LIVING THINGS. With their 2014 release and heaviest offering in years, The Hunting Party, Linkin Park manage to capture their ever-innovative spirit with a hunger seldom seen in bands on their seventh album. One More Light (2017) is an interesting personal album, filled with a lot of emotion.

Unfortunately, on July 20, 2017, Chester unexpectedly died by suicide, shocking and saddening both fans and his own band members alike.
