| Pearl Jam – Animal Lyrics | 12 years ago |

This is actually right. It shouldn't be voted down, and it shouldn't be flagged. I remember reading interviews at the time the album came out mentioning this. I know you won't believe it, because Google doesn't seem to find it, but hey, not all truth is on the Internet... But for me the greatest indicator is the Vitalogy album sleeve with the pictures of the guy diseased because of the "secret vice". Masturbation was an issue that Eddie Vedder takes issue with and he mocks it in several ways. Let's just face it, Ed is different. |

| alt-J – Buffalo Lyrics | 12 years ago |

To understand this song you need to know the verb "to buffalo", which is not very common (more like slang), it means "to bully" someone. Also, check this Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo Because "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a grammatically correct sentence in American English, used as an example in linguistics. That's what the paragraph "The buffalo from buffalo Who are buffaloed by the buffalo From buffalo Buffalo are the buffalo from buffalo" in the lyrics is referring to. You'll notice the Wikipedia page actually refers this Alt-J song as a "use of the sentence in popular culture"... |
