Pink Cellphone

Wow, I'm suprised no ones managed to get what's going on here...

Can't stop the sound Can you? Let the tape roll

This is refering to the song itself, it has such a soft, seductive sound, and it entices you to keep listening, so you let the "tape" roll.

Aren't you gonna get sick?

This is referring to the last minute of the song, which apparently made the vast majority of you sick. They're asking you "why are you still listening? aren't you going to get sick?"

So your troubles continue to multiply and to grow in a direct result of your being misguided. Deceived. Misdirected. Or fooled. All themes are variations of the basic ego gloried wide theme in which you follow the gospel truth.

You were misguided into listening to this entire song, even it's filthy ending. Look at all the trouble it caused here, and how all the negative comments multiplied, all because you were decieved.

It's essentially a commentary on modern day life, and how everyone is so easily misguided, you pursue the wrong ideals and goals, and essentially fuck yourself over.

The title Pink Cellphone refers to how commercialized our society has become. Who the fuck really needs a pink cellphone?

If you find the last minute of the song to be "immature" in any way, you're missing the point. The song basically stops, and she totally shifts from speaking of faith to disgust. The last minute serves a purpose.

This song is fucking amazing. The sonic landscape in the background is hypnotic. Plus, Annie Hardy's lyrics are psychotically erotic. I love it.

My guess is that because so many of the people who like this song liked it right up until the last minute, Chino hit his mark. I'll admit, I found it extremely jarring and even a little shocking (even after seeing - and loving - The Aristocrats) when listening to it, but I think that was what Chino was going for. It was to shock the listener. Maybe it's some form of criticism against those who claim to be Christians (or any religion) yet don't live like it at all. Maybe it's about hypocrisy. Who knows? All I know is that I liked the effectiveness this song has. And to those of you in the UK who were offended by this... grow up. I'm sure it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. As for the title... have Deftones/Team Sleep titles ever really meant anything, for the most part?

Maybe if you check out who Anne Hardy is.. I mean, I think that the last part of the song, unecessary obviously, is just...anne saying the shit she wanted. And chino thought it was funny as hell. Sorry all the british people but I thought it was funny too xD just don't take it seriously. And i really don't think it was like the "meant to be" theory.

I find it amusing that about half of you are completely disgusted and offended by the ending of the song. Lighten up. Yes, I almost gagged too when I started listening to what she was saying the first time, but it does serve a point. Generally, writers don't go out of their way to do something so off-putting without a reason.... unless they base their music around shocking material (ramstein, most of hip hop, etc) but in this case, it's there for a reason.

Really, this whole song is about religion and self righteousness. The song mentions how belief in the one true power (any religion) is really just belief in the "ego self", or belief that you're superior or that you want to be superior. The song refers to the aloof tone many religious types have, as well as their aloof attitude (holier than thou) that many people in religion seem to exude. In the end, this attitude just leads to hypocrisy, insulting others in an almost horrifically vulgar manner, while being ridiculously vulgar yourself, as seen by the very, very indignant, ignorant, vulgar, yet oddly prudish tone the outro takes. One obvious real-world example would be the whole gay-marriage argument. Though not every religious person is against it, the vocal uber-conservitives often talk about it in a very, very vulgar, offensive, and disgusting manner, all the while still thinking that they're better than what they're talking about.

The opening likely refers to how people won't listen to the point of the song. You're just going to listen, let the tape roll because you like the song, even though you don't like what the song says at the end; just ignore the message, listen to the song, and let the tape roll.

a "Hot Carl" is when you toss a girl into a bathtub, and shit all over her chest. it's like a "Hot Lunch", but in a bathtub. she turned it into a verb by adding the "-ing" to the end of it. that's also why she said "all over my...".

poop seemed to be the subject of that last minute, so it seemed only logical that this is what was being referenced.

the first reversal is "ttub-kcuf", which is easy to tell. the other 2 are both "gnikcufttub". try it in Audacity for yourself! it's fun for the whole family :)

and for anyone who doubted that this was just one big laugh gag, listen to the laughter in the background when she talks about "Hot Carling". even Chino can be heard!

as for the title of the song, her lyrics were recorded on a Pink Cellphone. it's why the sound is degraded in quality when compared with the singing, though those of you with only a shitty mp3 compressed track might not notice like we audiophiles do ;P

This song is pretty fucked up. It seems like a massive stream-of-consciousness flow that illustrates the central theme of the song: "Pursuing the wrong ideals and goals...leads you into sickness." By trying to believe in "the one true power" instead of focusing on bettering oneself, the mind rebels and collapses into an egotistic Freudian chaos.

I gotta be honest though, I have absolutely no idea what any of this has to do with cell phones.

amazing song. what its about? not sure but religion, hypocrisy and unquestioning obedience to ideals comes to mind
