So this has been.my favorite song of OTEP's since it came out in 2004, and I always thought it was a song about a child's narrative of suffering in an abusive Christian home. But now that I am revisiting the lyrics, I am seeing something totally new.
This song could be gospel of John but from the perspective of Jesus.
Jesus was NOT having a good time up to and during the crucifixion. Everyone in the known world at the time looked to him with fear, admiration or disgust and he was constantly being asked questions. He spoke in "verses, prophesies and curses". He had made an enemy of the state, and believed the world was increasingly wicked and fallen from grace, or that he was in the "mouth of madness".
The spine of atlas is the structure that allows the titan to hold the world up. Jesus challenged the state and in doing so became a celebrated resistance figure. It also made him public enemy #1.
All of this happened simply because he was doing his thing, not because of any agenda he had or strategy.
And then he gets scourged (storm of thorns)
There are some plot holes here but I think it's an interesting interpretation.
I been sitting here all night long
I been sitting here for way too long
Will somebody tell me whats going on
Will somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong
Cause girls come and yes girls they go
I wish these girls would just let me know
Can I take you home tonight
Is my future with you looking bright
We ain't nothing but dust in your eye
I'm content just like being high
Flirting just makes time go by
It seems nothing works even though I try
So this is what we're gonna do
You'll make easy for me I'll make it easy for u
Just clap your hands just clap your hands
Just clap your hands if your horny
If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it and you really wanna show it
Get on my lap and do a dance
I keep on looking at her like I got game
Whats your sign girl whats your name
Are you looking at me like I'm looking at u
L8r on baby doll we'll be cooking for 2
Girls come and yes girls they go
I wish these girls would just let me know
Can I take you home tonight
Is my future with you looking bright
All this conversating is so frustrating
All this waiting that comes along with dating
Masturbating we'll be just fine
Just wasting time with these pick up lines
Well this is what we're gonna do
You'll make easy for me I'll make it easy for u
Just clap your hands just clap your hands
Just clap your hands if your horny
If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it and you really wanna show it
Get on my lap and do a dance
Put your hands back on
Put your hands back on
Put your hands back on
If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it and you really wanna show it
Get on my lap and do a dance

If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it and you really wanna show it
If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it and you really wanna show it

If your horny and you know it clap your hands
If your horny and you know it and you really wanna show it
If your horny and you know it clap your hands

I love the wild take on "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands." How fun is that song! I haven't listened to it in too long! Whenever I hear it I think of when I sat in a baptist bible camp and sang the original song...which makes me laugh. The guy is happy 'cause he's horny and he believes he's gonna get him some:)
