its about how THE MISFITS in the late 70's came to the UK to do a tour wiv The Damned and they were promised this really cool tour and The Damned totally fucked them over. Ratt Fink is also another name for someone who fucks you over, a Ratt commonly used by Gangsters as someone who gives them away to the police. Thus supports my case further. So yeh its about their feelings towards The Damned really. shit man wat was wiv that speech.

"Anyway, as much as I love The Misfits... JESUS This song isnt very good at all."

One of the reasons for that is that this is the only classic-era Misfits song that Danzig didn't have any part in writing.

None of the Misfits had any part any part in writing it, because it's a cover. Sort of. I'll explain. There was a song called "Rag Mop" that was first written and recorded in 1949 by Tulsa Western Swing bandleader Johnnie Lee Wills and steel guitarist Deacon Anderson. Make no mistake, it was called "Rag Mop" with just one "g" in the word "Rag". The lyrics, however, went "R-A-G-G M-O-P-P...Rag Mop".

It was a novelty song, popular throughout the 50's. Comedy writer Allan Sherman covered / parodied "Rag Mop" as a B-Side to his most famous song "Camp Granada" in 1963 under the name "Rat Fink". Note that the song title only uses one "t" in the word "rat". The only thing he changed was that he said "R-A-T-T-F-I-N-K...Rat Fink". The rest of the lyrics remained the same as "Rag Mop".

The Misfits covered Allan Sherman's parody. Now you can all stop arguing about the spelling of the song and what it means. it means nothing. It's a playful parody...and a cover of one at that.
