| Megadeth – Black Friday Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"'Black Friday' was inspired by a great drummer named Dijon Carruthers whose father was Ben Carruthers from the movie 'The Dirty Dozen.' Dijon's brother was Cain Carruthers from the ska band The Untouchables. Dijon was pretty much a band member until we found out that he lied about being 'black' to us. I am not against having any person in our band, regardless of color, but Dijon said he was Spanish. One day his brother walked in and Dijon nearly died on the spot. We used the material that we were working on as we kept going, but we knew that a man that is embarrassed about his family, race, or upbringing, would never fit our creed." (Mustaine, 2001) "Dijon Carruthers was a drummer with Megadeth temporarily, before Gar Samuelson. He was a very talented, but strange person. He used to hang out with an even stranger guy that was definitely into the occult; this guy was fully wacked! Dijon's friend seemed to know a lot of the occult, he wrote a lot of strange things and symbols down on paper. Although Dijon did get credit for inspiring those two songs ["Bad Omen" and "Black Friday"], that was the extent of it. Dijon may or may not be or have been a Satanist, and he did not commit murder that I know of at the time I was associating him. Dijon was a very talented drummer, and he came from a gifted family. I wish him well in his endeavors, whatever they may be." (Mustaine) References: In U.S. history, Black Friday is the name given to September 24, 1869, the day when a panic on Wall Street caused the financial ruin of thousands of investors. Black Friday is also the name of a 1940 horror movie starring Boris Karloff. |

| Clutch – What Would a Wookie Do? Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The first verse sounds like it is describing typical rich people, and the choruses give a similar effect Hunting, greyhounds, rabbits, expensive things in their house,cricket, they are finished if the stock market has trouble and it is a wookie that will take everything. |

| Clutch – David Rose Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I have this song and I didn't realise there was three different versions of Elephant Riders. Mine doesn't have this but I got the mp3 from the nice people at the pro-rock forums. No idea what it means, but it's a great song. | |
| Clutch – 10001110101 Lyrics | 18 years ago |

Mourning Mayhem is partially right. 10001110101 doesn't convert on its on as it is not divisible by 8, but it is part of the word Clutch > 010000110110110001110101011101000110001101101000 As for the rest of the song, I think it is about technology taking over, which is why binary is used for the chorus, and the "Robot lords" and "ribonucleic acid freak out". |
