In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
What makes a Melonball Bounce?
A Melonball Bounce, a Melonball Bounce
What makes a Melonball Bounce?
The ice-tart taste of Sprite
Sprite makes the Melonball Bounce
The Melonball Bounce, the Melonball Bounce
Sprite has the tingle that counts
Make a Melonball bounce with Sprite
Make a Melonball fizz with Sprite
Make a Melonball punch with Sprite
Make a Melonball float with Sprite
Make a Melonball boat with Sprite
Imagine what you can do with Sprite
Create something new with Sprite
With a melon and a scoop
And a bottle of Sprite
You can make the prettiest drinks in sight
What makes a Melonball Bounce?
A Melonball Bounce, a Melonball Bounce
What makes a Melonball Bounce?
The ice-tart taste of Sprite
Sprite has the tingle that counts
Ice-tart taste makes any drink bounce
Why not start with a Melonball Bounce
Buy a carton of Sprite tonight!
Make a Melonball fizz with Sprite
Make a Melonball punch with Sprite
Make a Melonball float with Sprite
Make a Melonball boat with Sprite
Imagine what you can do with Sprite
Create something new with Sprite
With a melon and a scoop
And a bottle of Sprite
You can make the prettiest drinks in sight
What makes a Melonball Bounce?
A Melonball Bounce, a Melonball Bounce
What makes a Melonball Bounce?
The ice-tart taste of Sprite
Sprite has the tingle that counts
Ice-tart taste makes any drink bounce
Why not start with a Melonball Bounce
Buy a carton of Sprite tonight!
A Melonball Bounce, a Melonball Bounce
What makes a Melonball Bounce?
The ice-tart taste of Sprite
Sprite makes the Melonball Bounce
The Melonball Bounce, the Melonball Bounce
Sprite has the tingle that counts
Make a Melonball bounce with Sprite
Make a Melonball fizz with Sprite
Make a Melonball punch with Sprite
Make a Melonball float with Sprite
Make a Melonball boat with Sprite
Imagine what you can do with Sprite
Create something new with Sprite
With a melon and a scoop
And a bottle of Sprite
You can make the prettiest drinks in sight
What makes a Melonball Bounce?
A Melonball Bounce, a Melonball Bounce

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.

You guys have never had a sprite float? You guys haven't lived!
they should make a sprite commercial with this song if they havent already...
I thought this was an old sprite commercial, from way back when....case in point the line ice-tart taste. Just the word Tart is an old fashioned word from the early 20th century
