Mo's childlike singing goes perfectly with the irony of the song. Here is parable about how our culture glorifies crime and violence in a childrens' ditty. The references to the conflict over vietnam war and the nationalism of the moon landing set the historical period and counterculture mood. [btw the line here is quoted incorrectly. should read "moon people go into the stratosphere"] I love it. The lyrics here in the first verse are incorrect! should be: Saw you hangin from a tree And I made believe it was me that is, following the stagecoach robbery, the "you" was caught and hanged from a tree. "you" are dead. i also like denihilism's interpretation re heroin addiction. |

oh dear indeed! you totally missed this one! Mo's -- admittedly, but DELIBERATELY-- twee rendering goes perfectly with the irony of the song. Here is parable about how our culture glorifies crime and violence in a childrens' ditty. The references to the conflict over vietnam war and the nationalism of the moon landing set the historical period and counterculture mood. [btw the line here is quoted incorrectly. should read "moon people go into the stratosphere"] I love it.
