| Róisín Murphy – Movie Star Lyrics

The naked ambitions line is a clever entendre. I believe that this song speaks to the naivete about what it takes to make it in the movie-making industry and the creeps who prey on young women by convincing them that shooting porn is necessary in order to have a silver-screen career. |

| The National – Squalor Victoria Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
|
Some guy gets a white-collar job, isn't really qualified for it. He fakes his way through it--"underline everything" demonstrates that he doesn't really understand anything that he's reading. He spends his nights getting shitfaced and patting himself on the back for the "work" that he did that day. He doesn't realize that his job is in jeopardy because people are beginning to realize that he can't do the job very well. He gets one last chance when he stays late nights to "fix" a project he screwed up. He gets canned at the end? |

I don't know if this is intentional, but the "thwerp" sounds at the beginning mimic the sounds the trees make when the prince is lost in a part of the woods in the Fractured Dairy Tales' version of Rapunzel from The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle |

| Wolf Parade – Father's Son Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
|
From the opening crunchy riffs, it immediately paints the picture of the quasi-anarchic Wild Wild West. The protagonist seems to have a bounty on his head, and this has led to a sort of bipolarity where he must struggle between his innate desire for survival and the traditions of honor and courage that his father instilled in him. |
