Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Brendon Wanna Be	#1 by Brendon Cooper at May 14, 2006 at 4:41 PM EST
	This was the first song that really made me love Primus, and personally (my view of it anyways,) I feel that BGG 001 and GreenAndy came close to my idea of what the song's about. Personally I think the song is about poachers and endagered animals. It's fairly easy to tie all the lyrics in with those two subjects. "They take to the skies" doesn't necessarily have to mean that they are actually flying (in a spirit form or otherwise), but in my mind just implies that they are becoming fewer. Perhaps it represents mankind's continued excuse for poaching them ("Well they're not going extinct and their numbers aren't thinning, they're just migrating" etc.), but that might be overanalyzing it. "Passing bucks by one by one" for me just refers to the money the poachers make off of things like ivory from elephant tusks etc. I think the second verse is probably an activist protesting poaching. Someone who hasn't lied and has no reason to lie, but when money's involved people tend not to listen. And the first verse just talks about how truly bored/pathetic someone must be in order to decide it's a good idea to go out one day and hunt endangered species of animals. The "Pinholes through cardboard at the sun" could represent the theory of extinction as well. If you use the light to represent what the population of the species once was and the light pouring through the pinhole in the cardboard as the current population, it can represent how rare the animal is becoming. That's a bit of a stretch and possibly more overanalysis on my part.

	"pachy" meaning fat (thick), and "derma" meaning skin could also be about drugs. With pachyderm meaning fat skin it could possibly be about a big fat joint. But thats just a weird theory i came up with I don't really have a reason to believe it.

	the claymation in the video is tight. one of their best songs.

No Picture Davy Professional	#4 by Davy Langerak at Aug 20, 2006 at 3:32 AM EST
	it takes alot of thinking to work out primus songs alot of the time i personally cant but quite a few songs are about people primus know or knew. i like this song lot but for some reason right at the start when its jsut the bass i feel that little off guitar bit ruins the bass line. Its fine once the drums come in but id have rather they jsut had the bass alone before that bit

	A southbound Elephant?

No Picture Matt Average	#6 by Matt Fraczek at Feb 10, 2007 at 10:22 PM EST
	Definatly a weird song and video...It makes sense that itd be about endangered animals since in the very beginning of the video, there was a poacher about to shoot it.

No Picture Brian Average	#7 by Brian at Feb 27, 2007 at 6:06 AM EST
	I just read that too, it makes sense in terms of "Speculating which will be the last" - endangered/extinction and "They're filling the sky" - dying and going to heaven or whatever. However I stick by my original statement as some of the lyrics don't make sense otherwise, in that people should find a way of helping solve such problems as extinction in their spare time rather than make them worse - why do something terrible when you can do something amazing (in a good way) if you put your mind to it?

No Picture Jordan Rhythm Player	#8 by Jordan at Aug 3, 2007 at 6:43 AM EST
	LES SAID IN AN INTERVIEW THAT ITS ABOUT ENDANGERED ANIMALS SUCH AS ELAPHANTS!!!!!there you go
