blimixI was listening to one of my 700 or so favorite songs recently, when it struck me that, while this song was musically a force to be reckoned with, the lyrics made it something of a douchebag anthem. See how quickly you can figure out the song from my paraphrasing.
Verse 1:
I have plans tonight for my significant other, whom I refer to by an insultingly diminutive term of endearment. I must keep these plans secret from her parents, presumably to avoid being thwarted by their inevitable disapproval. The questionable ethicality of this is ameliorated by our respective, uncommonly good, appearances.
I interrupt my initial plan of getting us both drunk at a small but charming tavern because I disparage the entire genre of music that suits the proprietor's musical tastes, and I insist that my significant other drop everything to leave with me immediately.
Refrain:
Our behavior toward, and within, this municipality shall be so egregious that I must describe it with a metaphor that would be fatal if it were anatomically possible. It shall be so egregious that the residents will object vociferously, but we will persist until we explode and lose consciousness.
Verse 2:
We delightedly engage in a decades old version of East Coast Swing dancing. I look with derision upon another patron's outdated fashion sense. He notices me, so I threaten him with physical violence. As if I had to emphasize this, our enjoyment of this evening will be characterized by massive destruction. (It appears that my increasingly inebriated state softens my understanding of this as being purely metaphorical.)
[Repeat refrain.]
