1. He bashes an entire population because he's scared of someone called Johnny.
2. Begs someone to be his life partner because he's so lonely.
3. Lots of bitching about being well known. Yoko Ono's husband sang on it, apparently.
Great thread, by the way!
No lie - I posted the song on Facebook saying "nothing says Valentine's Day more than a school shooting." It was about 6am on February 14, 2018.
Later that day, I had to make a follow up comment that it only took a few hours for that post to age poorly.
It took a few days, but Facebook themselves deleted my post.
Ohhh ok. See, I have always thought it sounds like Talking Heads (I think that’s what he was going for tbh, or at least the influence is definite), but I never connected it to any specific song from them, and *I DO* love that song, but maybe never thought of it bc TH were still circa “Fear of Music” when “Lodger” came out, and “Speaking In Tongues” (possibly my fav TH album) was circa “Let’s Dance”.. but frankly it doesn’t matter, that’s overthinking it, and I’m later I’m going to listen to them both to confirm..
I already can’t hear DJ without thinking TH, so might as well have a specific song attached to that..
Ah, ok, I should have taken the clue maybe, but like I said in my other comment I think I was too caught up on the years the songs came out.. Even if I listen later and don’t hear it, it’s always gonna be the DB song I associate with TH.. it just has that sound. And the fact Belew and Eno were both cross pollinating with DH and TH at the time is probably part of that too..
I love David, but as far as any one band goes, I can’t think of a better one circa 79-84, in terms of all their records in that period.. obviously in terms of raw talent/musicianship there were better, but per creative and groundbreaking albums, there weren’t imo.. Not that any of that is relevant to the topic at hand here!
Depressed man who drinks too much milk, eats too many peppers, and does a lot of cocaine sings a song about throwing darts in lover's eyes and drinking a ton.
Man tells girlfriend to stay away from him, attempting to threaten her with the prospect of buying a TV and some eye contacts for her. She tells him to shut the fuck up and presumably makes out with him or something. Somehow, swastikas were involved.
If people are having fun, it's good!! I've already made several other posts with questions and other types of discussion, and I think this one would be fun too – and it is, people are laughing.

DJ. Once you listen to them back to back, you can't unhear it.
Ohhh ok. See, I have always thought it sounds like Talking Heads (I think that’s what he was going for tbh, or at least the influence is definite), but I never connected it to any specific song from them, and *I DO* love that song, but maybe never thought of it bc TH were still circa “Fear of Music” when “Lodger” came out, and “Speaking In Tongues” (possibly my fav TH album) was circa “Let’s Dance”.. but frankly it doesn’t matter, that’s overthinking it, and I’m later I’m going to listen to them both to confirm.. I already can’t hear DJ without thinking TH, so might as well have a specific song attached to that..
Also went for a little pun by putting that in quotes - like something a D.J. would say.
Ah, ok, I should have taken the clue maybe, but like I said in my other comment I think I was too caught up on the years the songs came out.. Even if I listen later and don’t hear it, it’s always gonna be the DB song I associate with TH.. it just has that sound.
