Everybody Loves Me, Baby Lyrics
Simply a man that thinks so much of himself that no one else can stand him. But he doesn't seem to see it because he is too concerned with why this one girl doesn't seem to see him as the glorious human being that he sees himself as.
This is pretty much the funnest song I'm aware of, by any artist, even over "American Pie" which is also one of the funnest songs ever, if a little more serious than this one.
A friend of mine was explaining to me (as a joke mind you, not a serious interpretation), that this could be a musical number from Star Wars Episode II, Anakin singing to Padme. It's funny how well that fits, for most of the song.
It is clearly about the United States of America!
It is clearly about the United States of America!
Very funny, I agree with axnoble.
This is narcisism at its finest, very tongue in cheek!
To me this is talking about the Catholic Church, talking to someone who refuses to join them. "The second son of Mary" The first son was Christ, the second was the Church. "Yes, and the ocean parts when I walk through" is probably a reference to Moses. There's more in there too.
The first time I listened to it I thought it was about America too, but it just doesn't fit as well at the Church...
A great song about somebody that can't handle the fact that somebody doesn't love him. It reminds me of Gaston from Disney's "The Beauty and the Beast". Every girl would die to have him except for Belle, and so she's the one he wants. A pretty juvenile association, but that's what i think of when I hear it.
For some reason, this song always reminds me of King Henry VIII. I think it's probably the 'my face on ev'ry coin engraved' bit, along with some comparisons with Greensleeves, despite that being a very old song, which was rumoured to have been written by Henry VIII for Anne Boleyn. 'All the victories I've led haven't brought you to my bed' makes me think of that. And then also, the stuff about war - in those days, in England, usually decided by Kings, and about being 'Heaven's Child', because kings thought they were chosen by heaven, and about the 'first-born boy', because he wanted an air badly.
But whatever it's about, I love the song! :D
Is it my dirty mind or is "And I'm twice removed from Oscar Wilde, but he didn't mind, why, he just smiled" an innuendo? Using the idea he's boasting of relations with the famous, with the idea of... I don't want to keep going with this...
