The song certainly takes on new meaning for me now that I know wtf they are talking about, lol.
Seriously though, this is an amazing song and getting some background on it adds a whole new level to it. It also helps that I have been reading some Thomas L. Friedman recently. The lines "We don't care about no Gov't warnings, / about their promotion of a simple life / And the dams they're building" makes a lot of sense, comparing the traditional values being promoted by the gov't to the new capitalistic principals that have led to the creation of a middle class in India, similar to that of the United States.
And frankly, everybody does need a bosom for a pillow.
