No Picture RHCP Average	#1 by RHCP freak at Jul 15, 2006 at 9:41 PM EST
	At 1:30, it sounds like he is saying "We're down here at something (division?) and 5th street", like a street intersection, instead of "We're down here at the vision in mystery" However, I'm wondering what is said in between the lines of the verses. It sounds sort of like "Whoopty whoop, to get you gotta ________(something...)" Anyone have any ideas?

No Picture JB Rhythm Player	#2 by JB Underwood at Jul 20, 2006 at 6:44 AM EST
	And the opening part I believe goes like this... "Oh good God in heaven almighty, heavens to murder Troy, we've got a cataclysmic situation developing, somebody get down here now!"

No Picture bassist666 Average	#3 by bassist666 at Sep 5, 2006 at 11:51 AM EST
	When I read the title I thought it would have to do with Alice in Wonderland [I dunno how I came to that conclusion, but it would have been wicked since its an awsome and trippy story]. But upon looking at the lyrics seems to be more about a manipulative kinda girl, which makes the emergancy voice thing make scense since its implying she is making a massive issue. btw. its definatly "heavens to muragtroid" and I reckon it must be recorded for teh song, seems a tad silly

No Picture Rignald Average	#4 by Rignald Tromp at Sep 13, 2006 at 3:31 PM EST
	Anyone know exactly what a storm in a teacup is?

No Picture Tom Average	#5 by Tom Parton at Oct 28, 2006 at 7:20 PM EST
	""Storm in your teacup, girl"?? That's just AK being AK, 40 something and still a pimp." Yeah, at first I thought that, but I came across this: "Idiom: Storm in a teacup Idiom Definition: Meaning: * If someone exaggerates a problem or makes a small problem seem far greater than it really is, then they are making a storm in a teacup." http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/storm+in+a+teacup.html Makes sense in a way. I mean, Get On Top isn't about sex either really... It's just the name!

No Picture Teddy Wanna Be	#6 by Teddy Bass at Dec 13, 2006 at 12:17 PM EST
	oh, and "you try to be a lady but you're walkin' like a sour kraut" is the best nonsense lyric on all of stadium arcadium.

No Picture Im Hearing Voic Average	#7 by Im Hearing Voices As The Wind Blows at Jan 11, 2007 at 9:15 AM EST
	at the beginning he's saying "O GOOD GOD, HEAVEN ALMIGHTY, Heaven's to murder troy, We've got a cataclismic situation developing someone get down here now!!" then at the other part he's saying "O o no its getting worse, wrose by the minute we're down here in divison in mystery someone send for back up!! please! help!"

No Picture † fatass Average	#8 by † fatass † at Mar 11, 2007 at 1:51 AM EST
	papiLPS, im fraid i dunno, i heard it on one of the THOUSANDs of interviews about the album i gotta get it if neone finds out tho...

No Picture heitor Average	#9 by heitor dolinski at Apr 3, 2007 at 8:00 AM EST
	by the way, anyone can tell me wut anthony sings at the beggining of the song (before come on come on baby) and at minute 1:30???

No Picture james Average	#10 by james at Oct 3, 2007 at 7:14 PM EST
	Yeah it does, I agree, pretty old school. But to say he 'white-boy raps' thats a low, for many reasons.
