| Weezer – Thought I Knew Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I agree with Beaver mostly, though he (song character) accuses her of making the relation. Personally, this is my favorite song on the Red Album. I especially like the tone changes between the verses, chorus, and bridge. True mastery of writing and playing by Weezer. |

| Spinal Tap – Rock 'n' Roll Creation Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Indeed, huzzah for Spinal Tap! I believe the song is a parody of occultic songs (along with its sister, "Stonehenge") and also elaborate stage set-ups often associated with glam rock. I dunno, the alien-seedpod...thingies remind me of Pink Floyd concerts and the expensive sets. In the movie itself, the concert footage makes fun of how these elaborate sets often malfunction and of roadies trying in futile to fix them. As anyone who has seen the movie knows, the bassist (character name escapes me) has his seedpod malfunction so it doesn't open at the beginning of the song, and while a roadie trys the whole song to fix it, Chris and Nigel play on, trying to ignore the technical difficulty. The futility of the efforts become apparent especially at the end, where the bassist actually escapes his plastic prison, only to need to try to dive back in to keep up with the remainder of the band who have descended back into their pods. At this point, the pod malfunctions again, closing on the bassist's arm. Again, the problem is ignored by the band for the audience's sake, where everyone onstage, including the semi-imprisoned bassist, give the ,\,,\ sign. |

| Spinal Tap – Cups And Cakes Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Making fun of bands attempting to widen their fanbase by creating a kid-friendly album. This plays on the radio, interrupting Chris' conversation with his girlfriend regarding how she will meet up with the band, one of my favorite parts of the movies due to his absolute ignorance of the geography of the Northern Midwest (specifically Des Moines [which he mispronounces and says is in Indiana], and Milwaukee [which he has no idea of the relative geography, as it is nowhere near New York]). |

| Spinal Tap – All The Way Home Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This song is also ironic in that it would be percieved widely as better than what music they were currently playing, despite David and Nigel's condemnation and insultation (is that a word? it is now.) of the song in its simplicity. | |
| Spinal Tap – America Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Frankly, I am AMAZED that no one else has commented on this...interesting...song. This song is a stereotype of what much of the rest of the world percieves America as. Similar songs (in content) include David Bowie's "I'm Afraid of Americans". |
