Lyric discussion by michaelwood 

  • It's like a later "Tom & Jerry" when the two of them could talk

The cartoon series started letting them talk and it is generally accepted was never as good after that point (Jumped the shark)

  • like the Stones since the Eighties

The Rolling Stone have not put out anything good since the end of the 1980s (or 1960s in many people's opinions)

  • like the last days of Southfork

The famously bad end of TVs Dallas where The Devil confronted JR to try to get him to kill himself.

  • Like "Planet of the Apes" on TV

As opposed to the movies which are pretty good.

  • the second side of "'Til the Band Comes in"

The Scott Walker album which - vinyl fans - had a good first five tracks and a weak second five

  • like an own-brand box of cornflakes

Kellogs famously so they never make Cornflakes for anyone else meaning that no other brand of Cornflakes will taste like a Kellogs box.

@michaelwood The 'Til The Band Comes In' line does NOT refer the second five Scott-penned songs, but rather the five cover songs tacked on to the end of the album, which are generally seen as a massive letdown after the brilliance of Scott's songs.
