Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Neil Average	#1 by Neil Carson at May 1, 1981 at 4:26 AM EST
	Politically incorrect

No Picture Matt Average	#2 by Matt Nev at May 16, 1988 at 2:33 AM EST
	I love this song but i get confused about the meaning of it... is it about sex? or is it more about how the media controles our lives? can someon please help me out?...

No Picture Aleksandar Average	#3 by Aleksandar Radošević at Aug 1, 1999 at 4:21 PM EST
	clearly about how gender roles destroy the true person in us all. Like how men are supposed to be emotionless, sex loving maniacs, who could never truly love someone (They stole the love from our lives and put the sex on the radio) and how constricting these genders roles are (is this how it feels when you don't even fit into your own skin and it's getting tighter everyday and i'm getting smaller. ) So, basically the idea is that gender roles break down the real person

No Picture Heavier Than He Rhythm Player	#4 by Heavier Than Heaven at May 1, 2000 at 1:56 AM EST
	whoa i am suprised there are so little comments on the most mainstream song they have

No Picture KING KEVIN Average	#5 by KING KEVIN BLAIR at Aug 24, 2001 at 6:58 AM EST
	I think it's talking about how the media stripped the youth of it's innocents. Other than that, I think it talks about youth traumas and insecurities that alot of teenagers face, like not feeling like you belong/feeling like you don't fit in anywhere. Also it gives brief indications about violent and sexual content in modern day media.

No Picture Eric Average	#6 by Eric Talley at Jan 13, 2002 at 9:06 AM EST
	I always thought that this song was about how the press and the news will steal everything from someone. I thought it was about how nosey the reporters are and how they'll stop at nothing to hack into someone's private life. I thought that the general message was "Nothing is sacred" I quote "they stole the love from our lives and put the sex on the radio. " Sex is supposed to be a sacred thing but the press is exploiting it. I thought that was what the song was about but I was wrong. I saw his interview on Thursday's site and it was completely different.

No Picture Stephen Average	#7 by Stephen Meier at Jan 5, 2006 at 7:50 AM EST
	yea i agree with that, its about how the media exploits sex. what a powerfull song!

No Picture jano Average	#8 by jano manzali at Apr 9, 2006 at 5:01 PM EST
	I saw them live and they were awesome. Geoff said this song was just about sex.

No Picture Bill Average	#9 by Bill Connor at May 14, 2006 at 5:44 AM EST
	i think the media has fucked up people's veiws of sex. everyone is so numb. no one has feelings anymore. sex used to be about love, waiting for one person. now it's about a 20 minute feeling. i'm not saying i'm not guilty of lust, but i don't wake up every morning thinking about how i'm gonna get leid unlike a lot of people my age.

No Picture Martin Average	#10 by Martin Mc Taggart at Nov 16, 2006 at 8:55 PM EST
	I really like DouglyUckling's interpretation. This is probably one of my favorite Thursday songs, and while I started listening to them because of the amazing sound, now I listen to it for the meaning. I try to really listen to what Geoff is saying. Everything the man says in genious, and we should all pay more attention to the actualy meaningful stuff than to what the media throws at us.

No Picture TAMARA Musical Genius	#11 by TAMARA at Sep 12, 2007 at 11:51 AM EST
	you could say this song is kinda saying how the radio only promotes popular (bad) music...you never heard thursday or anyone like that on the radio.......thats why i dont listen to it
