John Maus – Cop Killer Lyrics	14 years ago
This song is about how disappointed John Maus was when he found out the Turner & Hooch DVD had little or no special features. Maus indicates that interviews with Hooch's trainer or the other actors could have made a really interesting "making of" featurette, or a Hanks / Zemekis commentary would have been nice as well.

Willow – Whip My Hair Lyrics

14 years ago

This song is a tribute to Rado and Ragni's Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical, which transposes the personalities of writer John Berger and Saint Claudius of Besançon onto hippy figures of rebellion who use their "hair" to show authorities that the sexual environment of the time was far too restrictive. By saying "whip my back and forth" Willow Smith makes a timely and passionate comment that the radical sexual politics of the 60s is alive today but has possibly reached it's theoretical limit, and new voices speaking the same truth to power should be heard.

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti – Beverly Kills Lyrics	15 years ago
This song is about the film The Slums of Beverly Hills where Alan Arkin has a quasi-incestuous relationship with his onscreen daughter. The "Kills" refers to the Menendez Brothers, who The Slums of Beverly Hills was obviously tangentially related to.

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti – Little Wig Lyrics	15 years ago
This song is based on the phrase "flip your wig" which one would exclaim if they had seen something very exciting like "when she has her surprise birthday party, she is going to flip her wig!" When you flip a little wig though, it's just a small surprise. Probably Ariel Pink's Dad was going to give him a surprise birthday party but he found out(?) beforehand, so it wasn't as much of a surprise.
