The Dumb Song


The Dumb Song by AJR is a fun and upbeat track in the key of C major. It tells a story about the struggles of facing adulthood and feeling dumb sometimes. The song was written and performed by the American indie pop band AJR, which consists of three brothers. It features catchy melodies, energetic beats, and clever lyrics. A curiosity about the song is that it samples the song "Hamburger Polka" by Frankie Yankovic.
