i heard this song on the radio a couple times, and i never knew who it was. to be honest, i thought it was prince for a while.
then i bought the cd, simply because mmj is a solid band and i wanted to hear what they were up to these days, and i flipped my shit when i heard this song on the cd.
that aside, this song reminds me of getting fucked up, the "tapping your lines" bit especially.
and then the bit about "wasting all your time on drama, could be solving real crimes" reminds me of how pointless and counterproductive the war on drugs [especially marijuana] is.
not to mention the references to shit going on in people's heads.
and if THAT didn't give it away, listen to jim's vocals when the backup vocals start "highly suspicious"ing.
jim james never actually says "highly suspicious."
"i'm hiiiighh [highly suspicious of you]"
he's just saying he's high.
then, before the solo or whatever, he says "i'm hiiiiiighhhh" and goes into a fit of laughter.
and i'm not one of those people who thinks every song is about drugs. seems to me that most of the songs on Evil Urges are actually about sex.
oh, and if you think this is "such a crappy song," why don't you listen to the guitars, dipshit?
