There´s this guy who has a site with aphex twin lyrics an
d on beetels the lyrics are according to him: "beetles under
my carpet,under my feet, they come out IN THE HEAT" My
personal opinion is that it ends with they come out AT
NIGHT" any thoughts?

"In the heat" is right

If it was 'night' you would have to pronounce it like "neet"

yeah, he sings it like "naa eet" I´m probably wrong ,
but It just sounds like its his accent that makes at night
sound like in the heat, he extends night so it rhymes with
feet ; besides doesn´t beetles come out at night, in the
day when it´s light they are under the carpet and in cracks
in the walls and at night they come out!!

It's at night not in the heat, honest.

I'd love to chuck in a comment that just lays it to rest
once and for all BUT I can't remember and I don't have the
track here so I can't. Maybe he did some trickery with the
vocals. Said feet and fiddled with it to sound like night.
Maybe he put both words on top of each other. Maybe it's
actually "they interrupt my sleep". I think we should ask
the man himself.

External info:

Rich says the exact same thing each time, but that same
thing can be interpreted as follows:
- in the heat
- when i eat
- at ni-ight
so, im not taking any more beetles related submissions
unless they have REALLY solid proof and/or doesnt have
anything to do with that sentence. im going outta my mind
-Carth

Now see, I got this bit from Darcy Brennan:
page at the University of Vermont: "Adult beetles fly
readily, are attracted to sunlight, and are often found
around windows. In spring, many adults feed outdoors on the
pollen of flowers such as Spirea and fruit trees. Cast skins
of the larvae may be found anywhere and often blow around
when drawers and doors are opened."

"I mistakenly believed that the phrase was "they come out at
ni-ight" until i found your page. i read under my feet and
carpet. what richard is referring to is the beetle larvae
under his feet, chewing on his carpet, and the adults coming
out "in the heat". he is assuming that it is the bright
midday sunlight they crave, when in fact it is the sun
itself. I found this after I had given up on confirming the
nocturnal habitats. I believe you will agree with me that
these are in fact the beetles the song is written about, and
they most definately do not "come out" "at night" as the
larvae prefer darkness, but also shelter. I must note that
although this article is presented in an American
university, carpet beetles are a diverse breed, present in
north america, australia, and europe and likely asia and
south america, though i have not confirmed this."
"I am not an entomologist myself, but this evidence seems
point to in the heat in my logic, and possibly as a result
of my conviction, when i listened to the song again, i heard
"in the heat". I am not saying I believe i was incorrect the
2nd time around, on the contrary I was as amazed as when I
first found your page and could understand richard's
ramblings through his strong accent. at night or in the
night is how it sounded to me, when i was not taking hi
