| They Might Be Giants – Prevenge Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| i'm cool with the popular interpretation of the song. i was thinking it was more of a "prevenge" on the doorman, than his friend. "Pupkin" is a reference to the Martin Scorsese movie "The King of Comedy". Robert DeNiro plays Rupert Pupkin who is an aspiring late night talk show host and mega, obsessive fan of a talk show host played by Jerry Lewis. You can read the synopsis online, but the sentiment of the songs' subject and the actions of Rupert Pupkin are very similar. I do highly recommend King of Comedy, it's my favorite Scorsese movie. | |
