I'm sorry, what? Sarcasm is nearly impossible to convey on the internet, hence why I didn't perceive your comment as humorous, and was correcting you. Grow up.
Also, how else would I know the geographic location of the "Kokomo" mentioned in the song? It's a fictional place. |

From the Japanther website:
First of all 'fuck you all' echoes loudly through the funeral parlor
I just can't erase it
A flash of pain spells your name on my message machine
I just can't erase it
That fucking animal lives on in our song
I just can't erase it |

This is (mostly) a cover of an old song by a fairly obscure girl group, The Persionettes, called "Call On Me". (watch?v=6iQxkJCa1Cw) |

This post is possibly the single dumbest comment I've ever read on SongMeanings. What I like most is how you end this horrible spiel by ascertaining that the song is about their "goddamn brother", which is (mostly) incorrect.
If you're not a troll, which I feel might be a possible explanation because this comment still just seems too idiotic to be real, then you are an unbelievably pretentious and completely hopeless human being.
Fuck you. |

I'm surprised no one noted how in this song, Conor explicitly sings that he awoke to a pop song coming from his alarm clock radio, while "Old Soul Song" begins, "Grey light, new day leaks through the window, and some old soul song comes on the alarm clock radio." |

There are so many things wrong with this comment, it's hilarious.
This song was written over eighteen years after the breakup of the Beatles. |

"Welcome to the Terrordome" is a song from Public Enemy's landmark 1990 album Fear of a Black Planet. I have no idea how it relates to the other lyrics in the song. |

Supposedly, this song is about Patrick Stickles breaking his arm at a dance party on a high school marching band trip to San Francisco. Alex Tretiak is a close friend of the band, and a sometime drummer/filmmaker/librarian in Glen Rock. |

| Titus Andronicus – A Pot in Which to Piss Lyrics
| 12 years ago

Cassie Ramone does the Jefferson Davis quote.
"That Jefferson Davis quote, I really thought about her when I heard it, because that song is kind of about being an indie rocker and putting yourself out there and how pretty much trying to express yourself in modern times is tantamount to putting yourself on the chopping block... The Vivian Girls got way more than their fair share of that, people on blogs who don't have anything better to do than pissing on them for no reason at all, trying to feel better about their own worthless lives. I was thinking about how being an indie rocker, maybe there are moments you can be celebrated and put on a pedestal, but it's safe to guess that if that happens, you're also going to get the flipside of that. People are going to be looking to knock you off your high horse." - Patrick Stickles

"Dirty lies to get like to me"
There's a high-quality live performance of this song on YouTube, and it sounds like he's saying something more along the lines of "Well, you lied to my daughter and she just can't lie to me" or something like that. |

Billy Corgan is one of the most pissy, egotistical bitches in the music industry. Why people actually like him or respect him, I will never know.
He recently launched a ridiculously insulting and blatantly transphobic tirade against effects pedal designer Devi Ever.
"you ugly piece of shit...if i ever run into you, anywhere, at anytime, for as long as i live, i will knock your fucking lights out. don't ever come near me, and if i hear even one more peep out of you in public about me, or the band, or the members of the band, i am gonna sue you for so much you'll never be able to afford so much as to even make a fucking guitar cable." |

Everyone is hating on Green Day because Green Day is a ridiculously mediocre major-label pop band with a fanbase consisting almost entirely of ignorant eighth-grade girls shoving jewellery in their faces and saving up for tickets to the next Warped Tour. Green Day is yet another radio-friendly artist who makes independent, hard-working songwriters like myself scratch my head and wonder why I can't make a fucking dollar writing the same four-chord songs over and over again, and why I even bother making something original and creative when this is clearly the shit. |

Jack White: "She was playing so childishly. Everyone I'd ever played with were, like, male drummers. I'd been writing all these childish songs, like "Jimmy the Exploder" from our first album -- this story I made up about this monkey who exploded things that weren't the color red. So when Meg started playing that way, I was, like, man, don't even practice! This is perfect." |
