This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
(1, 2, 3, 4!)
Well take me down I'm on the ceiling, on the ceiling.
Yeah take me down I've got the feeling, got the feeling.
Here we go,
I'm gonna get slapped by Moe!
-Slapped by Moe-
(But not this time)
Pow! Pow! I gotcha!
Hey! Hey Moe you didn't think I'd getcha?!
Pow! Pow! I gotcha!
Hey! Hey Moe you didn't think I'd getcha!?
Knuckleheads Revenge!
My shovels swinging and I'm oblivious of the pain that I'm bringing, but of the three of us.
You are sadistic it's no picnic to be working with you!
But now I'm the dynamite and Moe you're just lighting the fuse.
Pow! Pow! I gotcha
Hey! Hey Moe you didn't think I'd getcha?!
Pow! Pow! I gotcha
Hey! Hey Moe you didn't think I'd getcha!?
How, how'd I getcha'?
Hey! Hell no, you really think I'd letcha?!
Pow! Pow! I gotcha!
Hey! Hey Moe you didn't think I'd getcha!?
I've got a ratchet I'll attach it to the end of your nose.
And then Ill smash it with a hammer as I'm kickin' and throw,
You down the stairs, my cares are spinning on the floor, dancing away.
Yeah, Me and Curly have been waiting and planning this day.
You broke my back with a two by four,
and you cracked my skull with the bathroom door,
you ran me over with the company car,
you poked me in the sternum with an iron crow bar.
But oh, oh no well now it ain't no fun we've been your Stooges and we're finally done.
So, nyuk nyuk nyuk have you realized your time has come, were gonna' moitalize ya'!?
Pow! Pow! I gotcha,
Hey! Hey Moe you didn't think I'd getcha?!
Pow! Pow! I gotcha,
Hey! Hey Moe you didn't think I'd getcha!?
How, how'd I getcha?
Hey! Hell no, you really think I'd letcha?!
Pow!Pow! I gotcha,
Hey! Hey Moe you didn't think I'd getcha!?

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
