Uhh.. Evil as pancakes may be, I don't think that's what the song is about. It's about how you can't cover any thing up in blazes. |

Well odiggy, you're situation's pretty much the same story as the song. The character in the song tries to "trade in his girlfriend", and soon figures out that relationships just don't work that way. |

| A Boy Named Thor – oops Lyrics
| 20 years ago

Tee Hee... I wrote it! But on a more serious note, it's about Thor, and his depressing story of how he started out naive, and out of danger, but as he grew older, learned more, his sense of reason-and his life- faded... |

It's just about how alot of people are terribly wrong about stuff without even realizing it. I mean, it's all a matter of opinion when it comes to right or wrong, but in these cases, more opinions said wrong.

| Fountains of Wayne – Go, Hippie Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
Umm... well, no. It's really about the general stereotype of the hippie.
"Crossing in between greens Just because you want to Not because you ought to": The greens are referring to all the unnessecary cleared out space for things like malls, which hippies opposed.
"They can never feel your pain, Neither can you": Not many people really cared what hippies had to say, and hippies couldn't feel their pain cause they were always so loaded up on drugs.
"That was you across the yard, Throwing brownies at his car": Some hippies believed that cars were corrupting, and a nusance to the environment.
"Keeping your head low, Around the car park you swing low": From what I understand, (i'm not really sure on this one) hippies would actually slice tires of cars in car parks, and to not get caught they would keep their head low. Whether I'm right or wrong, I do know this... that guitar at the end is beyond the infinities of awesome. |

This one's actually pretty sarachastic with it's tune. While the lyrics suggest wild, unsupervised partying, the character nararating the song sings with a leisurely tune, as though it's no big deal. |

| Fountains of Wayne – A Fine Day For A Parade Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
|
It's a little more complicated than the above comments. If you remember, it says "she lost her daughter off to a sacred order...". The sacred order is a cult (...where they get stoned and work the earth" and the parade is a metaphor for a group of people who do what everyone else does, acts like everyone else... like a cult. |
