They Might Be Giants – The Bells Are Ringing Lyrics 19 years ago
....
Tucker....
Where do you see nazi-ism in this?
Disorganized = not killing jews?
Who's the girl with cotton in her ears, Anne Frank?

Yes, I realize you are entitled to your opinion, but I also wholeheartedly agree with Smokler.

Random fact: Soviet (WWII) communism overruled genocide. They didn't kill people of a particular race, creed, or religion. They killed everyone.

They Might Be Giants – Istanbul (Not Constantinople) Lyrics 19 years ago
o.O in the movie you willl notice, after the second people just liked it better that way, and during the violin section, Plucky looks like Linnel, and Porky looks like Flansburgh(sp?)

You will also notice that most of the instrumentals of TMBG music videos are by Flansy.

They Might Be Giants – Hovering Sombrero Lyrics 19 years ago
I heard this song and the bit about

Time is flying like an arrow
and the clock hands move so fast they make the wind blow
and it makes the pages of the calendar go
flying out the window
one by one

Till a hundred years are on the front lawn
and the old familiar things are mostly all gone
but the old sombrero just keeps hovering on
hovering sombrero hover on


I could never understand why, but in four years, that has never left my memory. Fun fact: 50% of amercans believe in UFO's, aliens, intelligent life on other planets; therefore statistically one of the Jhons believes. This could very well be about UFOs &c.

They Might Be Giants – Drink! Lyrics 19 years ago
I think that this song, as with most other TMBG songs, was sung for fun, instaid of to put a spiritual message across. Tell me what you guys think.

They Might Be Giants – Cowtown Lyrics 19 years ago
Oh. And WDFarmer.

Yes, the overanalyzer line was aimed at you, but no hard feelings.... I just think the song in nonsense. Go ahead and tell me what you think of my opinion, and I'll take it with a grain of salt. I hope you do the same with mine.

They Might Be Giants – Cowtown Lyrics 19 years ago
I think this song has no real meaning, but was sung for the fuck of it. There are a lot of overanalyzers out there who thing everything has a deep spiritual meaning. Hey, maybe you guys are right and I'm wrong, but it's just an opinion.

The Decemberists – Sixteen Military Wives Lyrics 19 years ago
g2g450y, what you say is true. We are indeed entitled to opinions.

Also, I would like to point out that you people spend waaay too much time arguing over opinions. OPINIONS! Respect that they are just that, and not facts; state your own, and let there be peace. Seriously, people, chillax.
This is my opinion.

And lay offa skilla. He said what he thought was going on, or whatever. Who cares? It's not like the guy is gonna drop through your chimny and rape your daughter or anything if you don't argue.
Another opinion. I'm not looking for the biggest fight to hit the internet.

What this song means to me.... Hmmm....
Really not sure. The main reason I come here is to read your opinions and chew them over. You philosophical types have wonderous, albiet closed, minds for speculation.

And the first one of you to post about me misspelling chimny only proves my point. (I'm really not sure how it's spelled....)

Flogging Molly – Selfish Man Lyrics 19 years ago
Nice....

Actually, GWB did nothing but start three wars in one term, as well as turn an expected 3 trillion surplus into a 5-trillion deficit.

Okay, for the song, my girlfriend broke up with be because I never thought at all about her. This song fits me perfectly.

Ne-Yo – So Sick (Remix) Lyrics 19 years ago
It does. This song does not work with rap, although what genre does? Think of the Freddy Murcury with Y-clef Jean mix of another one bites the dust. Totally kills it.

Ne-Yo – So Sick Lyrics 19 years ago
Please stop fighting and biting and PMS bitching, it is really annoying.

I found this song was a good one when my girlfriend broke up with me. I thought I had gotten over her, but when I heard this song, I cried for hours, and realised I was lying to myself. Now I know I have gotten over her because I can listen to this song and not cry, but rather smile. I found someone new, and I love her to death.

They Might Be Giants – Nightgown of the Sullen Moon Lyrics 19 years ago
I don't know what this means. Personally, I think it might be following in the vein of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, except TMBG is basing it off what they heard it is like, not on personal experience. I doubt they have it anyway.

They Might Be Giants – New York City Lyrics 19 years ago
Yeah.... This is how I feel right now.... I'm dating a girl who is so nice and pretty and smart and funny.... and I feel that I'm not good enough for her, and she knows it, but she likes me anyway. Kinda depressing, but I feel happy about it.

They Might Be Giants – Birdhouse in Your Soul Lyrics 19 years ago
I thought the lyrics went:
Bluecanary in the alley by the lightswitch

Your lyrics make more sense. I see this as a mistake. This is a song not supposed to make sense. Think on that.

They Might Be Giants – Fingertips Lyrics 19 years ago
I think this is all nonsensical, but that's my opinion. I will grant you guys this: you metaphor is very persuasive. I can see this as being what he means. However, I don't see it that way. I think it is all nonsensical, and I like to sing little snippets to people when they apply.
Once there was a gob of sticky-tack on my desk, and I said, "Whats that blue thing doing here!?" in the singsong tone. Reactions varied.

Wow. I never thought about that.

I can almost cry now. This hit me hard, and I don't know why.

They Might Be Giants – Absolutely Bill's Mood Lyrics 19 years ago
And here I thought it was merely nonsensical. I think a lot of their music is, like nothings gonna change my clothes:
All the people are so happy now, their heads are caving in!

Anyway, thank you for shedding some new light on the subject.

Cake – The Distance Lyrics 19 years ago
Most songs are metaphors.
Personal opinion: Rap is always traightforward, never hiding meanings. Anyone can figure it out. Rather simple.

I got shot, I'm abusing a whore, I treat women like objects of pleasure. Give me money, because I'm famous.

Sorry, personal opinion, as a response to those who say why does a song always have to be a metaphor. It is when the band intends it to be.
I can hear the feeling of pain he put into this. This does sound like a break-up to me at second listen. At first I thought it was a race. The posts about the career also ring true. How you interpret it is up to you. Go ahead, believe there is no metaphor. Be as deep as a rain puddle.

Cake – Alpha Beta Parking Lot Lyrics 19 years ago
Well, you have to think about this. Of course he remembers. He says in the song, "I'll never forget."

This implies that it is something imprinted on his mind that will go to the grave with him.

Kudos to hifrank, thx for the lesson. Decendent, you hit the nail on the head.

I listened to nothing but this song for a week after my first ever breakup, just over a year ago.
