According to the official video for the track: "This song is dedicated to the memory of the many artists and performers who left behind a great legacy... We will remember!" In his memoir, Biff Byford says he was thinking specifically of Phil Lynott - whom he knew - and Bon Scott. It is about remembering great rock musicians at their best. Biff said he was disdainful of some of the poor quality posthumous Hendrix releases: "I turned the whole band onto AC/DC but I don't want to hear Bon Scott singing Christmas carols that someone once taped in the studio."...

The song revolves around the experience of walking down the bustling urban street nightlife with a sense of anticipation and desire, capturing an interaction with a flirtatious woman. The title "Reeperbahn Stomp" references the Reeperbahn, a street and entertainment district in Hamburg's St. Pauli district, one of the two centers of Hamburg's nightlife (the other being Sternschanze) and also the city's major red-light district. It's inspired by the atmosphere of such areas, where desires and fantasies intertwine with the realities of human connection and transaction. Essentially, the track captures a moment of fleeting connection and desire in a vibrant urban...

I think it’s about waking up in the morning. A mid level indie band in another crappy hotel with too many people in it. Playing gigs that seem utterly pointless because no one shows up, and those who showed up didn’t seem to care. The master plan, weight, gravity, it crushes you, others don’t seem to care. I think they realize age death weight everything is connected. All that matters is loss failure not feeling well. It’s about finding success life in a world that is full of defeat. Losing death falling is the natural order. Any sort of success...

Losing death falling is the natural order. Any sort of success is an anomaly. But there’s also another sub meaning about how you should live your life. That’s why the song is genius there are seven layers of veiled meaning and I don’t want to give it away but the sixth is joy. I didn’t see it coming either. Literally I’m gonna kill my self not too far from now.
If only I could dive into the ether of pointless less thought observance. I just like the song. There’s more but it’s pointless. You’ve all said it a 100 times better when people read this shit.

I think "transplanted heart" has several meanings...one is the captured African, transplanted to the Americas, so a transplanted heart too...second is the concepts of reincarnation, so the African people living on cyclical through the generations, so a transplanted heart...the old African herbs man of time immemorial living on through his generations, in other words roots live on, the heart of the old African herb man lived on through his ascendant, heaven lives on...just concentrate...connect to your ancestors to find the way... And thirdly, a transplanted heart referring to propagation of herb itself, a slick shout out to the ganja farmers perhaps...

I think people have a knee jerk reaction to it without even reading the lyrics and seeing the context.

Let's take the word "savage". Both times the word is used it is talking about white people or "civilized people" at least, could be any race. The context is clear, the people yelling at him like savages (not actual savages, it's a simile), are likely those same missionaries that are mentioned as advertising civilization trying to get him to leave his home.

The next use of the word is "They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train". This is not talking about any natives. The "they" is talking about people in civilization, which would be the so called white folk if we're assuming all whites are the civilized ones. And again it's a simile, not calling them savages either just saying they hurry LIKE savages. It's just to give us the idea of how they behave. It's not calling any particular group a savage.
And the mention of the word spear, OMG they committed the cardinal sin of assuming every African has a spear? No, this particular one uses a spear to do fishing, which he just got done mentioning in the previous verse. A lot of people use spears when fishing. Not just stereotypes.
And let's remember Danny Kaye was a famous comedian, and a lot of the wording is comedic and trying to force a rhyme in some places. And even when he's saying fake foreign language words, those words seem to be attributed to the "civilized" people in the story this song is telling.
So, in my opinion, this song is not racist at all and is anti-civilization and pro staying in a remote area instead. and I agree, modern "civilization" is largely a prison for people who think the government loves them and has their best interest at heart.
If he's talking about Morrissey, he's wrong. "Of the honest truth There'd be no trace"? So there was no reel around the fountain and nobody gave him something that he wouldn't forget too soon? Or was he talking about his own songs?
