| Titus Andronicus – In a Big City Lyrics

"I don't know much but I know which side's buttered on my toast"
sounds like a ref to Dr. Seuss's "The Butter Battle Book." It's about a senseless, devastating war between two nations based on trivial things (which side of the toast they like their butter on). Yep Seuss still hits the nail on the head. |

| The Zombies – Care Of Cell 44 Lyrics

I used to think this was an incredibly witty song about letter sent *from* a person in a cell to someone who they knew would be rejoining them soon--in prison! (or a mental institution). Of course, upon a real inspection of the lyrics, it isn't supportable. Too bad! It's such a bouncy, overly blithe song and using that idiom/style in such a tragic setting could have been a **brilliant** take on the modern whitewashing of life. Oh well. |
