My Musical Masterpiece, Bitches

[TravvPoopington]

Well, some of the forum members have taken exception at my sharp, witty critiquing of their songs, and have told me to "put my money where my mouth is," as it were. Here is one of my favorite songs that I wrote, it is also my band's hit single. This is a societal critique on America's going to war with Iraq, you hippies like that kind of stuff, right?

"Do You Remember Where You Were the Day Nelson Mandela Married the Fucking Queen"

So I was in my basement
Fending off some evil midgets
Seriously
They sprang from beneath my...
Expensive-ass pool table
They attacked me with sticks
It was all unprovoked
It made me madder than
A huge-ass sack of crap

(Chorus)
Mister average Joe American
The world did not headbutt you
Why do you need to taste
Another earlobe?

So I was on a mountain
Fighting with a giant lobster
Honestly
It came from the clouds
Above my unwashed head
Death hung in the air
Like a smelly pidgeon carcass
I felt like I would vomit
Right on its compound eye

(Chorus)
Mister average Joe American
The world did not headbutt you
Why do you need to taste
Another earlobe

(Wicked-ass funky guitar solo featuring my main man, the Hindu)

So I was in a gay bar
Being raped by sailors
Kid you not
Their cool friends told them
That raping in bars was uncool
But they didn't listen
Because they were homo Navy alumni
It made me burn with rage
With the fire of one thousand suns

(Chorus)
Mister average Joe American
The world did not headbutt you
Why do you need to taste
Another earlobe

Dead men tell no tales
Except the ones they've written
I hope my letter finds you
Deader than a sausage

The retard asylum? They lock away the mentally challenged now? Wonderful times for our country, eh?

I can see that many of you either totally missed the symbolism and metaphor in this song, or are too stupid to notice. Well if you're not gonna learn, me and my legions of fans won't try to teach ya.

:cool:

[BuriedAlive]

um, i dont think i completely understand.. but i think it involves blaming your bad hand that you were dealt on the world?

[BuriedAlive]

im thinking the verses explain a journey and the chorus explains that he only blames it on everyone and everything else.. right? wrong? if im wrong them help me, its quite confusing. its orginal, yes, but its also a half-decent song.

This was written when the US was still debating whether or not to go to war in Iraq. This song basically says don't. The three verses are directed at the branches of the military, likening to army to midgets, the air force to a giant lobster, and calling the navy gay to add a bit of humor while making the lyrics as trippy as possible. The chorus is an allusion to the famous Tyson-Holyfield match in which Mike Tyson alleged that he bit off Holyfield's ear because he cheated by headbutting him.

wow, dude you have impressed me. i disagree with everyone about this song. this song is amazing. and the fact that he didnt give away what it was about. and made us think. and the fact that the whole thing was full of metaphors and was very original.

Glad you like it! It's actually the title track off of our first full-length album. The tentative cover art is attached to this post.

Haha! thats great! (even better when you explained it to me, I got the Navy, And actually thought about the airforce when i read the second part, but you lost me on the whole Midgets/army thing) Post some more lyrics, dude!

[PunkR0xx0rs!LOL]

Me and my pee pee love the song.

But one complaint/criticism. No real mention of Space Potatoes from the planet Zonk generally let down the third verse.

[worldstheory]

Great song. I like the trippiness to the symbolism.

A huge-ass sack of crapHere's what I thought it meant when I first read it. Now that I've heard your explanation, I know that I was wrong, but here's an unintended alternative interpretation from yours truly.

The speaker is the U.S.A. The expensive-ass pool table alludes to the wealthiness of the typical American when compared to people from other parts of the world. The evil midgets are other nations, possibly terrorist nations. Possibly al-Qaida on 9-11-2001. Anyways, they are midgets, so they are smaller than the Speaker (because there is no evidence that the Speaker is anything other than normal height), as the other nations are smaller and less powerful than the U.S. However, they sprang out and attacked with sticks and it was all unprovoked, so they struck a blow to the speaker (the U.S.A.)

This made the U.S.A. madder than a huge-ass sack of crap.

wow travv, as far as apologies go, i owe you one, i just put my foot in my mouth, that song not only is good, but if all of your writing is of this caliber, then i should be expecting more thought-provoking material from you. i also like your photoshoping job on the cover, nice effect of the mirrored image. impressed i am

[TravvPoopington]

Man, I just found this post while I was looking through some shit, and damn, that was the awesomest song ever. I fucking r00l. Fuck you guys. :angryfire :angryfire

[ForgetThisLoser]

You are such a "profound" lyricist...Though you clearly show off your ability to allude to witty little things...but if you have to be a damn genius to understand a song then you're missing the point of being able to relate...to understand where the person is coming from...instead writing and requesting "hints&tips" on all the metaphors and such. Hands down, its a well written song.Basing the theme of the song on a contemporary issue so you can feel like some standout of the system...a protesting poet to be gayishly speaking....if it doesnt matter to you that you have to explain it word by word..then whatever...I'll get blasted for being critical of such a political/social/sophisticated song...so be it...I may suck as a song writer...as a person...but...I've got a right to my opinion just like anyone. xpeacexlovexand chicken greasex
