	You know, you all should quit debating about Manson and instead debate about the meaning of the song. This is, after all, songmeanings.net. This song, the way I see it, is sort of a tribute to Bowie, one of Manson's heroes. There are several allusions to Bowie songs (two that I can identify, but I'm told there are more). For example, the chorus is a play on that in "Cracked Actor." "This isn't music and we're not a band/We're five middle fingers on a motherfucking hand" is a take on "D.J.", in which Bowie sings "I am a DJ, I am what I play/Can't turn around no, can't turn around."

	Holy crap, you just solved a huge mystery for me. I knew that Vodevil meant the one that you mentioned. And I've been trying to look it up forever but I had no idea how to spell it. THANK YOU!

	David Bowie - Cracked Actor

No Picture Chris Average	#4 by Chris Prescott at Aug 9, 1985 at 2:49 PM EST
	i think song is absolutely awesome. Apparently it was written while he was on a plane and the image that the Marilyn Manson band emit when they walk through the airport, sort of a F-you attitude. I can remember a time when i completely related to this song.

No Picture Peter Average	#5 by Peter Boyle at Apr 13, 1995 at 7:53 PM EST
	i do think this is one of the two songs i like alot on golden age i do agree that its a very sloppy album it doesnt seem manson put much work into it i would perfer like mechanicl animal or it smells like childern but you hes getting old making some BAD and GOOD stuff -TEreza

No Picture John Wanna Be	#6 by John McCarthy at May 26, 1997 at 6:32 AM EST
	Great liyric for a pretty lame song. The sound effects and guitars are good actually, but there is something missing in this record, something that makes it boring. Maybe it's just Manson getting older and losing the capability of making original art. Just like Nietzche said....

No Picture Alberto Average	#7 by Alberto Guglielmino at Aug 23, 1999 at 9:15 AM EST
	Marilyn Manson knows that he needs a break from all the antichrist shit cos though it was good, there was only one message to it. I AM GOD AND YOUR ALL GONNA DIE. Mechanical animals, holy wood and the golden age of grotesque contained so many messages about religion drugs, sex and being used.

No Picture Anthony Average	#8 by Anthony Chattha at Apr 27, 2005 at 3:13 PM EST
	What does vodevil mean? Is it just a weird way of spelling vaudeville? What does vaudeville have to do with this song? Is it just randomly put in here because it’s similar to burlesque, a theme Manson seems to be fascinated by?

No Picture Merijn Badass	#9 by Merijn at Jul 15, 2006 at 12:14 PM EST
	this is a cool song actually..people who say that mansons music in the G.A.O.G album sucks doesn't understand the evolution of manson..anywayz,if your a true manson fan,you should learn to accept the latest stuff that he's been doing and its his plans...plans to make the 5th album sound like that.... so like i said this song is cool and its a** kicking!

No Picture Brian Average	#10 by Brian at Aug 31, 2006 at 9:52 PM EST
	You should like Manson for his music, not just his appearance. He's not making music for you, he does it for himself. Beside's he'll probably change next CD, he always does, I mean, come on, he covered "Personal Jesus" for his new greatest hits, that's definetly not 1930's depression (1 theme of GAOGT).
