| Turbonegro – The Age Of Pamparius Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I'm surprised this song hasn't been properly explained. It's the one true turning point in Turbonegro history and represents not only the evolution of the band in philosophy and appearance, but a change in it's musical direction as a whole. After this album, Turbonegro exploded in popularity and rightfully so. But not only is this song where the change happened, but it tells the story of Turbonegro's transformation. Without the events that unfolded in story told in the lyrics of "The Age of Pamparius", Turbonegro wouldn't be nearly the same band as they are today. PÃ¥l Pot Pamparius left Turbonegro to conquer his life long dream of owning a pizza restaurant. The pizza restaurant kicked major ass and they made awesome calzones. This song actually has a time line. The intro is a summary of the complete events: Pamparius Pizza was a bad ass, completely rockin' pizza joint...when Turbonegro lost one of it's founders, it also lost it's direction. There was a "golden age of confusion". They were simple denim recruits. Yes, they were quite the bad ass band, but their full potential wasn't to be known. Everything before the guitar solo represents this era of the band. PÃ¥l Pot Pamparius rejoined Turbonegro at 12 midnight. His arrival brought magic back into the Turbonegro recipe...they were no longer denim recruits, but had evolved into full fledged Apocalypse Dudes. And thus, they celebrated by kicking the shit out of teenagers. |
