Kim: I've just never connected music with books. Wait, that's not entirely true. "Cannonball" was inspired by the writings of the Marquis de Sade.
Q: What? "I'll be the bong in your reggae song" was inspired by de Sade?
Kim: Well, not that line specifically. But the message of the song as a whole was making fun of de Sade and his libertarian views that if he was better off than someone, then they were just fodder for him. Playthings. It was saying,"Come on, life's not a contest."
Q: So you're pretty much anti-de Sade.
Kim: Well, I don't know. Later on I found out he used to suck the snot out of people's noses, and I thought that pretty much ruled.
@kyasarin The Divine Marquis was not a serial killer, he never killed anybody. His only "crime" was to be a dirty old bastard who wouldn't shut up about his opinions on his "betters".

He killed many, horribly, in his books. But not in real life. He's one of the great philosophers.

shes obviously being sarcastic in the last remark about him ruling, as he was known to be a serial killer.
