	How do you know it is about extasy? DOes it mean they like extasy? I am not a drug expert obviously but I always thought it was spelt extacy.

	"I don't do drugs anymore... than the average touring funk band" - Bill Hicks. Definitely a cheeky reference I think.

No Picture Christian Count Average	#3 by Christian Country Rocker at Feb 26, 1980 at 5:19 AM EST
	The "touring funk band" line is a reference to the comedian Bill Hicks.

No Picture joe Average	#4 by joe at Jan 29, 1983 at 6:57 PM EST
	this song has nothing to do with either bill hicks or ecstasy. like so many of their songs it is tongue-in-check: my dick is bigger than yours; my dad is tougher & richer than yours; we are more harcore than you will ever be (we take more drugs than you).

No Picture bryan Average	#5 by bryan smith at Mar 18, 1985 at 10:58 AM EST
	It seems to me that McLusky writes songs about the people in their group of friends, and that no one in the general public will ever understand them. I have no basis for this statement, but it's what I think of when I listen to them.

No Picture chris Average	#6 by chris at Dec 17, 1985 at 7:38 AM EST
	this song is just perfect. without deconstruction.

No Picture peebo Average	#7 by peebo at Dec 14, 1987 at 4:22 AM EST
	Isnt it just making fun of "Im better than you because my things are better" conversation?

No Picture Jonny Rhythm Player	#8 by Jonny Rhoades at Mar 3, 1988 at 6:18 AM EST
	I always reckoned "My love is bigger than your love" was a more poetic way of saying "My dick is bigger than your dick". Which is poetic enough anyway.

No Picture mikey Average	#9 by mikey firkins at Jan 14, 1993 at 6:15 AM EST
	what the...is there some kind of censor on ecstasy? I think it could be about ecstacy, but I don't think it's one of their better songs

No Picture Stefano Average	#10 by Stefano Santin at Oct 31, 1999 at 1:43 AM EST
	I have no idea where you got the bit about ecstasy from... I don't think that McLusky tend to have references which are quite as vague as you're suggesting, preferring the completely random gibberish style of music (which is much more entertaining :D) As with most of the rest of their music, the lyrics take on a childish nature, and in this case I think it's fairly obvious that as Colly said, they're making fun of all the "I'm better than you because my things are better" conversations children have... and then (at least, this is what I'm hearing), they're taking it a little further with the line "And We're all Going Straight to Hell" mocking the tendencies of the Christian faith in that they are talking about their god being the greatest god and everyone else is going to hell, in a much similar fashion to children. I guess what they're trying to say is that Christians are just big children (although more subtly). However, that's just my opinion, and I only formed that opinion during the time it took to write this comment LOL.

No Picture shawna Badass	#11 by shawna lykins at May 11, 2004 at 11:24 PM EST
	i also find it funny that they have a 'my dad is bigger than yours' lyric. their label mates electrelane have a similar lyric in i want to be the president: 'my dad is stronger than yours, my tank goes faster than yours'... nothing important... just a though.
