Lyric discussion by nominal 

This song is actually about a the African tribe 'Kawkly-Lokah-Hookah-Dookar-Par-Gook-foop-Loop'

Yes, the one and only 'Kawkly-Lokah-Hookah-Dookar-Par-Gook-foop-Loop'. Sometimes the tribe name is mispronounced as 'Slurp' because the language they speak sounds like old Russian with a lisp.

It'll hurt me, but here is the true meaning of the song (using all of the lyrics posted as of 1/18/09):

"Open up your throat" is what it is. So, these Slurps would open up their throats, and allow tiny black butterflies to fly out and cause the Slurps to create an "And let the all of that time go" sound.

"Matt!" refers to the tribe leader's name. Every Slurp tribe leader is called Matt, duh. Look it up on Wikipedia (aka the fountain of knowledge and blacks!). "Support your brother" is a war cry issued by the tribe leader, Matt, during times of intense labor and lovemaking throughout the world. (Note: this has only happened twice during the past 40 decades, once was during the coming of Christopher Walker, and the other when very yes.)

"You've got to weigh what you say You ought to be ashamed of the way you play". This must've taken Animal Collective at least three years to decipher because that message is secretly tattooed on to every Slurp baby.

"Until you're fully grown" Yes. "You've got a real good shot" Yes! "Don't grow too old inside" YES! Essentially, this is the way of the Slurps. You don't want to read a book while sliding down a slide, do you? Well neither do the Slurps. Getting a little wood here and there won't make you younger, just older, but better!

Well according to 'Matt' of the Slurps, Brothersport = Brotherhood. Doesn't it? That's what Panda Bear and Avey were thinking about when they wrote this. All of the lyrics fall into the line of that invisible line between you and your brother, a connection that just isn't duplicated by any other bond in the world(well, the tie between a human and a dog comes close). There is also a mutual sense of encouragement even if there is constant fighting. Also, if the brother is separated by time or distance, there aren't words (obviously), but the interlude of the song (when Avey) sings is a great representation of it. In the end, it's all fun and games. AC says in this song "it's nice to be here, to be alive, to be with people" So: "Keep it real, keep it real, shout out"


What I'm trying to say is 'Brothersport' = "Sport which brothers play" which is:

Brotherhood. And this song perfectly resembles it.

Good job AC.
