@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Isn´t life a blast
It´s just like living in the past
We go downtown to do our shopping
And we live in Suburbia
And I say
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
He he he he he he he he
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
What is there to do she said
He said come on baby
And I´ll show you a good time
So they went on down
To one of those cheap motels
And they got all gushy and wet
And i say
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
He he he he he he he he
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
It´s just like living in the past
We go downtown to do our shopping
And we live in Suburbia
And I say
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
He he he he he he he he
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
What is there to do she said
He said come on baby
And I´ll show you a good time
So they went on down
To one of those cheap motels
And they got all gushy and wet
And i say
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
He he he he he he he he
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

this song is a mocking, in-you-face song. its sarcastic and lets you know it. personally, the only reason i know about this no-name band is because they were a strong influence for nirvana, especially kurt cobain. but hey! it turned out flipper are really cool after all. check em out.

I found out about them the say way! Nirvana=Inspiration. Flipper Still Rules, Ok?
flipper is a great band
just because they were an influence on kobain dosnent make them good. they ARE good, don't get me wrong...but you shouldn't credit their creativy just because kobain was inspired by it. i'm not a nirvana fan, and i don't really like grunge and what came out of punk rock in the late 80's. this song came out in 1982, and flipper should recieve alot of attention for putting out "generic," because they're more unique than ALOT of bands.
well just because we heard of the band from nirvana doesn't mean we like flipper just because kurt does. kurt just has good taste so most of the stuff he listens to is pretty good.
i heard about them from jello biafra. but anyway..
i think the song is simply about not taking life seriously
I heard of them from a friend who heard of them as a Kurt influence, but I haven't heard this song yet...
watch/read american hardcore, stephen blush.
imo, flippers mocking slutty rich people. ha.
catchy, I like it.
Really great, sarcastic song. Sing to it all the time.
