No Picture $~Andrew~$ Average	#1 by $~Andrew~$ at Dec 10, 2005 at 9:39 PM EST
	I think this is just stating things that have been, and will always, be true. i.e. Stay alive until you die & These nights of booze catch up with you's.

No Picture nick Average	#2 by nick coffeen at Feb 23, 2006 at 12:56 PM EST
	is it just me, or does this song sound slightly similar to the theme of "Gilligan's Island"?

No Picture Zach Wanna Be	#3 by Zach Honeycutt at Mar 4, 2006 at 10:13 PM EST
	I think it's about the common know of the fact that death comes upon us all. I think the author goes on to write of examples of people that consistently ignore the fact that death is upon them, a fact that if they realized, would be potent in rendering their efforts useless. For example, if death is inevitable and often random (as a fact of life) is it not laughable to: Worry about the nutrition thing Worry about the boos catching up I think he writes from both sides. That's my word.

No Picture Pasquale Average	#4 by Pasquale at Jun 18, 2006 at 2:40 PM EST
	first time i heard this song i assumed it was about beer haha nuff said

No Picture alex Rhythm Player	#5 by alex Smith at Jun 24, 2006 at 2:22 PM EST
	one of my neighbours was playing this song this morning. really loudly too. so i ran up to the window and plastered myself all over it. damn i love this song. rickeys accent is sexxx, just for the record.

No Picture Peter Wanna Be	#6 by Peter Lambden at Jul 3, 2006 at 7:10 PM EST
	Meaningless??? Are you having a laugh? Its about the fact that we will die! You can choose how to live your life and you can be healthy but in the end we will all die: "You cannot cheat the reaper's reap And that is the end of that"

No Picture bobby Rhythm Player	#7 by bobby volm at Jul 31, 2006 at 10:12 AM EST
	Yeah i think its about beer..seeing as it's introduced as a drinking song....

No Picture The Mexican Who Average	#8 by The Mexican Who's Living Under Satan's Wing at Oct 4, 2006 at 11:53 AM EST
	i think the song is just about how pointless life is.. That is the end of that and fergi, kaiser chiefs formed in 97, and were called Parva back then. Ive got Parva's cd (called "22")too, and parva is really different from kaiser chiefs. time honoured tradition is not a parva song.

No Picture John Lead Player	#9 by John Fitch at Oct 27, 2006 at 11:47 AM EST
	bein' a yorksheer lass i can't help thinking i've heard this song about 10 years ago sung by a group of Pierrots (black and white makeup type clowns) in Filey on the Yorkshire coast at an Edwardian Festival? could this have been the Kaisers in their early days I wonder?

No Picture lewi Wanna Be	#10 by lewi broadway at Dec 17, 2006 at 12:48 PM EST
	It's about food, durrh. Seriously... if you read it, listen to it, it all leads back to lunch. "to get enough nutrition" And also the sfx at the beginning, with the clanging of pots. It's about if you don't eat you'll die. And the rules are... you must eat! I think I can relate everything to lunchtime though.

No Picture Ĵǿ Wanna Be	#11 by Ĵǿħŋ Ĝęřđěŋĭţš at Mar 9, 2007 at 11:32 PM EST
	It's a song about health - t'Chiefs in a nutshell really... You gotta love those guys!

No Picture Brad Lead Player	#12 by Brad Vincent at May 21, 2007 at 1:18 AM EST
	well the firts time i heard this song i also had to think abpout food, perhaps its about wasting time in life? ihmm i think the song goes deeper than only the food...but dunno...well i like it cuz it grooves!

No Picture Frank Wanna Be	#13 by Frank at Jul 31, 2007 at 8:32 PM EST
	Personally, I think this song is meaningless!
