| NOFX – I, Fatty Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
It appears to be referencing both the life of silent film star Rosco "Fatty" Arbuckle and Virginia Rappe, the girl who he was accused of killing. Fatty was the highest paid actor of his generation but lost everything when a young actress at one of his parties died from internal injuries. This lead authorities to believe that she had been violently raped by Arbuckle and despite being aquitted 3 times of the crime the scandal was so huge that he never got his career back on track and lost everything. The first part about the pregnant girl on the train appears to be a reference to Rappe since she had 2 abortions before she was 16. The second references Fatty himself with keystone cops and hollywood backdrops obviously being the making of a silent film. References to pratfalls that were common in the slapstick comedy that he was known for and also his friends turning on him in the chorus make it more clear. Not sure about the pineapple upside down cake. |
