I'll just come out and say that all religions are hogwash, and I don't believe in an impending apocalypse at all, but this song is so fucking amazing, it gives me goosebumps every time. Definitely one of my favorite songs of all time. |

I always thought The Pixies were influenced by punk, since it seems every decent alternative group from the 80s onward is as well. You can detect it in a lot of Pixies songs, Crackity Jones coming off the top of my head. |

@wearesuperhero:
I have to disagree with your comment that things become popular by being good at what they do. I think that's not specific enough. Things become popular by being sold and marketed well. Look at McDonald's. They sell the most burgers in the world. Does that mean that they have the best burgers in the world? Hell no, their burgers taste like masking tape. Musically, look at Nickelback. They're really popular, but whenever I hear one of their songs, I fall asleep. All of their songs sound the same as well as sounding like a bunch of other bands (Creed, Seether, Hinder, Shinedown) at the same time. And yes, most of the time when a band becomes popular they start to suck. It's not because of the popularity itself, but most of the time the band changes their sound. Look at Green Day, does Kerplunk sound the same as whatever their shitty new album is called? Or The Clash, their debut album sounds nothing like Combat Rock. I have listened to a lot of mainstream music to decide for myself whether I like it or not and 99% of the time I don't. I'm not making a conscious decision to not like the music, it just doesn't do anything for me. |

Ajhaan-actually this song was written by Phil Chevron, the lead guitarist for the Pogues. It's a beautiful song, I wonder why he didn't write a few others. Of course, Shane is still the man when it comes to songwriting. |

I read that this song was kind of Paul Weller's dismissal of the attitude of his Punk contemporaries. He thought that they were too destructive (what's the point in saying destroy) and forgot about the past (you can't dismiss what is gone before). |

58% of my school is black and so is my bus driver, so I haven't been able to entirely avoid this song as much as I would like. Simply put, this song is a travesty to the music industry. Actually, not really. There have been so many music travesties lately (Fall Out Boy, Backstreet Boys, Milli Vanilli, Britney Spears, Finger Eleven, Colbie Caillait, Celine Dion, Justin Timberlake...) anyone who enjoys this song is a freaking robot programmed by the fifty something corporate white guy in an office who probably actually wrote this piece of crap. This music is about as real as Britney Spears' sweater puppies (boobies). People need to wake up and realize that this stuff is entirely disposable and no one will remember it five years from now. If you want real substantial music, see Nirvana, the Clash, the Sex Pistols. Music where the people who wrote the songs used their emotions to write them, instead of calculating what will turn it into a megahit on corporate radio. |

According to Wikipedia, this song is a style parody of some band called "Sparks". I don't know who that is. My first impression of this song was that it sounded kinda like "Midnight Star" from the In 3-D album. |

And I courted Peggy Dignam, as pretty as you please.
A rogue and child of Mary, from the rebel Liberties.
I lost her to a student chap, with skin as black as coal.
When he took her off to Birmingham, she took away me soul
Is it just me or does that sound slightly racist? It's a good thing Dave King didn't write these lyrics, or I might have stopped listening to them. Some guy named Pete St. John wrote the words. |

This isn't even a Weird Al song. People attribute every single parody to Al because they don't know there are other guys out there. |

This song kinda puts everything in perspective about how your troubles are nothing compared to all the people suffering in third world countries. Weird Al using some sarcastic humor to get his point across. The man's a genius. Pyoor Genyus! |

Oh man that Drew Carey episode was hilarious. It's too bad the Drew Carey Show never really was that popular, I think it's one of the funniest shows ever. |

I think this song expresses his frustration at all the violence in the world. He's saying that he will not see his youth or innocence until all the violence stops; that's when he'll meet his Roisin Dubh again. |

Hey has anyone noticed in the slip cover that comes with the CD, the lyrics have a line that is crossed out and reads "so come all over me"? Creepy. |
