Line 52:
== MC Skat Cat and his gang come from the same world as [[Who Framed Roger Rabbit|Roger Rabbit.]] ==
The style of the characters (toon and human alike) and the world in which they live in the music video of Paula Abdul's "Opposites Attract" bears a striking resemblance to that of Roger Rabbit's world.
* Alternately, they're from [[Cool World]] and the two main characters are [[Star
== The "it" in "Oops!...I Did It Again" and the "that" in "I'd Do Anything for Love (but I Won't Do That)" are one and the same. ==
Line 313:
And I hope that you are having the [[Otaku|time of your life]]<br />
But [[Deconstruction|think twice]], that's my only advice<br />
C'mon now [[Mad
Hahaha, [[Our Souls Are Different|bless your soul]]<br />
[[Unwitting Pawn|You really think you're in control]]<br />
Line 322:
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them<br />
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little [[Humongous Mecha|it looked like fun]]<br />
And it's no coincidence [[Dude, She's Like, in A Coma|I've come]]<br />
[[Gainax Ending|And I can die when I'm done]]<br />
[[Mind Rape|Maybe I'm crazy]]<br />
Line 380:
== [[Regina Spektor]] is our universe's [[Purity Sue]]. ==
Let's break this down: Meaningful name ("Queen Spirit")? Check. Beautiful singing voice? Check. Spunky and cheerful? Check. Proficiency with a random musical instrument? Check. Speaks several languages fluently? Check. [[Defector From Decadence]] (Soviet Union)? Check. Humble? Check. [[Tastes Like Diabetes|Sickeningly]] [[Sugar Bowl|sweet]]? Check. Smiles and Sunshine and Universal Love in her presence? Hell yes, you can power a lightbulb just by holding it near her. Just plain cooler and better than [[You Suck|you]]? Check. Red hair (because [[Heroes Want Redheads]]), bright blue eyes, "pouty lips," and "large and supple breasts?" Check. Unique, frilly outfits? Check. New words get made up to describe her? ''Reginasaurus'', anyone? She probably has a fucking [[Infinity
* Therefore, Regina Spektor is a self-insert of God. Who is a 13-year old girl. Who is also [[Robin Williams]]. Who is [[Metal Gear|Revolver Ocelot]]. Who was...''Russian.'' With a ''spectre'' for a father and a warrior ''queen'' for a mother... it all makes sense.
Line 426:
This explains why he's being stalked by mail rather than in person and how the stalker found him "even though I packed and moved my home." The choice of chimpanzees, which would initially amuse him, eventually creeps him out but keeps him captivated; who else would know him that well? The narrator even began suspecting that he was going crazy, and a split personality ''is'' a brand of craziness.
== The Servant's "Cells" is about [[What Do You Mean
{{quote| "Now you go to bed<br />
I'm staying here<br />
Line 538:
== Nick Cave and the Bad Seed's "Weeping Song" is narrated between two vampires. ==
The child-vampire is newly made, and the vampire who turned him has decided to show him the way life works. The people in the village are weeping because they'll all eventually die; but the undead are exempt from this-- or so it would seem. Immortality is [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|an upsetting lot,]] and even though they should be theoretically free from sorrow, the vampires still grieve for something lost. (Alternatively, the vampire-father isn't weeping-- he's covered in blood.) The younger vampire might not realise that he is a vampire. Both are apathetic observers of the kind of misery they no longer have to take part in. The two vampires wait out their first long night together, finally falling asleep by dawn.
** And of course, the refrain includes "This is a weeping song /A song in which to weep / While all the men and women sleep". And the first line uses the word "Son" which is a homonym of "Sun": "Go Son/Sun, go down to the water" - imploring the sun to set so they can be active and feed on the people they discuss. You can also imagine "weeping" as a stand-in for "bleeding".
Line 746:
** This explains why the messianic themes from Bowie's music all but disapeared after ''The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust''. This could be when he decided to stay human "Rock 'n' Roll" Suicide, may refer to his own death, forsaking immortality.
** Jesus was part of the house of David. Bowie took that name as a hint when he came to earth.
** Then what explains [[Rock Me, Asmodeus]]?
== The songs "Hand Of Sorrow" and "In Perfect Harmony" are about the same person in alternate universes. ==
