又是一首 Jonathan Coulton 的歌，我現在發現他似乎也被簡稱為 JoCo。最近有些有關所謂「聰明藥」的新聞，讓我覺得這首歌實現的日子似乎越來越近了。

雖然歌名叫做〈I Fell Fantastic〉，不過其實裡面滿滿的反話。歌中主人公著實是過著相當糟糕的生活。在 Youtube 上可以找到不少 MV，不過我這邊只挑一個 我覺得特別貼切的來放。
那麼，以下歌詞與翻譯：
I Feel Fantastic

早上當安眠藥讓我醒來時還很早
I take a wake up pill and fill with energy

But I don’t have any messages
但沒有任何留言
I take a driving pill and head to my car
我服下開車藥然後去牽車
