Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture i wish i had a Wanna Be	#1 by i wish i had a gibson at Jan 9, 1970 at 2:43 PM EST
	hmm perhaps polak

No Picture Buck Wanna Be	#2 by Buck Naked at Apr 29, 1975 at 10:02 AM EST
	If my memory serves me correctly, the baby crying is Gabriel Navarro, Dave's nephew. As far as the meaning goes, I agree with the person that said a fight within a crowd. Maybe Anthony escaping from rehab.

No Picture phill Average	#3 by phill muffi at Aug 6, 1984 at 9:02 AM EST
	I understand most of it, but I still don't have a clue what "Ek Bara Mala" means. Anybody care to translate or identify what language it stems from?

No Picture Julian Wanna Be	#4 by Julian Gleneske at Feb 12, 1985 at 8:34 AM EST
	flea hillel and anthony lived with a bunch of other friends in a house when they were teenagers.. maybe its about that.. Or maybe its about when anthony lived with blackie and there were a crapload of junkies always over.. That could be what the 'one big mob in one big home, a broken home' bit means...

No Picture Badass	#5 by guess wha' i suck at Jan 4, 1989 at 5:52 PM EST
	The begining of the song which aficianado mentioned: I am you are me. Might be seen from 2 different points of view. 1st is that it means nothing and it is just put together to sound good like lyrics at the begining of I am the Walrus (Beatles) - I am he, As you are he, As you are me, And we are all together. Or the 2nd possibility might be as Ghoelix says all the people of the world - we are the same, we percieve reality the same, we have (almost) the same needs thats why: I am you are me.

No Picture Julz Average	#6 by Julz xx. at Apr 10, 1990 at 10:24 AM EST
	What is the deal with the baby in the middle, that scares me! This sounds alot like the early red hot chil peppers, well the loud part. i think it is about them sharing a house with Hillel and alot of other dudes.

No Picture Matty Average	#7 by Matty G at May 24, 1994 at 2:14 AM EST
	love the middle

No Picture John Average	#8 by John at May 27, 2004 at 12:22 AM EST
	i think it's a load of random things all put into one song though lol

No Picture Sari Average	#9 by Sari W at Jul 23, 2006 at 11:21 AM EST
	My take on this song has always been that it is about the human race. We are "one big mob". A mix of actions and emotion, at once a beautiful structure and total chaos.

No Picture Lee Average	#10 by Lee Corrigan at Jul 26, 2006 at 4:58 AM EST
	I'd like to think 'I am you are me' refers to the human race, and despite all our differences as individuals we are essentially 'One Big Mob'. Its like we all have human DNA!

No Picture Nicky Rhythm Player	#11 by Nicky Ramone at Feb 18, 2007 at 2:43 PM EST
	gugu tata, that scares u???? just kiddin, it freaked me out too
