Funland At The Beach

Dead Kennedys

Sunny Sunday at the amusement park
See the fat kids spill their pop, ooh babe
Lots of flags and balloons
But someone sabotaged the rollercoaster last night

Ran a turn and then it smashed right down
Through the crowded haunted house below, oh no!
Human hamburger, no

And it's crushed little kids
Crushed little kids
Crushed little kids adorn the boardwalk

Crushed little kids adorn the boardwalk
Crushed little kids adorn the boardwalk
Crushed little kids adorn the boardwalk
Crushed little kids adorn the board-

See the tourists drop their jaws and cones
See the owners smell a big lawsuit, oh, police!
Call your lawyer first
Make the witnesses go home and they'll turn on the TV

And see crushed little kids
Crushed little kids
Crushed little kids adorn the boardwalk
Crushed little kids
Crushed little kids
Crushed little kids adorn the boardwalk

Crushed little kids adorn the boardwalk
Crushed little kids adorn the boardwalk
Crushed little kids adorn the boardwalk

    This song reminds me of I Kill Children with the references to dead kids....i think that Jello is trying to say that a lot of managerial type people are more concerned with money than with the safety of customers or indeed their mortality. Its so funny though when he says "crushed little kids adorn the boardwalk" with that really happy voice

    My Interpretation
    I thought the details of the song were so specific that it had to be based on a true news story, but I've never found confirmation of that theory anywhere. Regardless, it definitely seems to be satirizing how society reacts to a massive tragedy - especially with how the parents are depicted as being primarily concerned with getting a big lawsuit payout ("Oh police! / Call your lawyer first") and the local news showing graphic depictions of their deaths for ratings.
