What the fuck? These are the lyrics I sent in a while back, under "Let's Have A War (Actual Lyrics)", yet I get no credit in providing the correct interpretation? Come on. |

| The Residents – Hello Skinny Lyrics
| 12 years ago

Good theory arthurramsey19, but I was this comment on Youtube that I think might be a bit more on the mark:
"Cheap heroin is made in a bathtub and called 'bathtub heroin". This song was released in 1978, so it had to be about a well-known drug at the time, which crystal meth wasn't. Also, it was hard to get syringes then, so heroin addicts made their own with eye droppers. Heroin addicts were often skinny, and they were known for selling all their possessions to get more money to get high." |

For starters, Istanbul (Not Constantinople) predates both bands, as it was written in 1929. Second, this song was written before They Might Be Giants were even formed. |

Haha, I love that this song sounds like a Husker Du song too. They play a little riff between verses that sounds like the riff from Chartered Trips. |

| Minutemen – Corona Lyrics

From Wikipedia:
The song was inspired by a day trip the band members (Boon, bassist Mike Watt, and drummer George Hurley) had taken to Mexico on the Fourth of July, 1982. (The same trip also inspired the Mike Watt composition "I Felt Like A Gringo" on Buzz or Howl Under the Influence of Heat.) Moved by some of the more downtrodden elements of the area that he had seen, D. Boon set about writing a song in sympathy with the people of Mexico. |
