"some old rap song"... good grief. Grandmaster Flash did the weird laugh in 1982's "The Message", and it inspired Phil Collins to try it out on this song. |

well shoot, how many My Spacecoasters can there be? no sir, the "Be Glorified" tune can be found on a split My Spacecoaster did with (of all bands) Society's Finest. and this one, of course, is from EP2. sucks that there aren't more 'coaster tunes posted. |

"There is no Dana. There is only Zuul." Ghostbusters is such a great movie. Anyway, when they performed this tune live, I liked how they threw in "love is a battlefield" right before the chorus. This song is like one big giant reference. |

Badfinger did the original (on 1970's No Dice), but Harry Nilsson did the most popular version. In fact, I think everybody and their mom has covered this song. |

| Roadside Monument – crop circles Lyrics

i read somewhere that the bit about the lady talkin' about Jesus ("I have put you inside of me") was recorded from whatever happened to be on TV at the moment. i like to think it was a little less arbitrary than that (seeing as how the clip works really well), but whatever. good song. by the way, where are all my friends? |

i'd imagine that it'd be a bit difficult to do a Roadside Monument cover, but Puller pulls (har har) it off nicely.

did you read anything beyond the first two paragraphs? you totally missed the point. the chick who wrote the article loves Pedro the Lion. she began the article describing the faulty mindset of the cookie-cutter christian (and apparently this is where you stopped reading). c'mon, get with it. |

| Roadside Monument – egos the size of cathedrals Lyrics
| 22 years ago
|
"You sharpen the human appetite to the point where it could split atoms with its desire, you build egos the size of cathedrals, fiberopticly connect the world to every-eager-impulse, grease even the dullest dreams with these dollar-green gold-played fantasies until every human becomes an aspiring emperor!"

the first line is "You threw in the towel too early". The second line is "You've given up way too soon." At least that's what my ear tells me. |

| Pedro the Lion – Never Leave a Job Half Done Lyrics
| 23 years ago
|
|
You gotta listen to "Winners Never Quit" in its entirety to understand the context of this tune. The entire CD tells a story and this song merely describles one scene of it. A politician rigs votes so that he would win. His wife finds out about it (this is all detailed in "Mind Of Her Own") and threatens to tell the authorities. The politician doesn't dig that and so, logically I suppose, KILLS her. |

I didn't pick this up the first few times I heard the song, but note the apathy of the main character as he describes his brother's plight. When Grandma asks him where his brother's at he mearly says "I don't know," and eats. A major theme Bazan often refers to is the fallacy of self-righteousness. The main character has a haughty attitude, taking it so far that he completely disregards his own brother. He goes as far as to describe his ideal heaven, receiving what he deems valuable, and having neighbors that "deserve" to be there just like him. |
