| I think this is an intriguing song - the speaker seems to be someone rather unsophisticated who doesn't understand modern culture (TV in Esperanto, son in art school) but doesn't have the time to spend feeling alienated...there's something almost Satre-esque about it. | |

| Even back in the day when TMBG had their "Dial-a-Song" number-to one of the John's apt's answering machines that played old favorites, new material, and always a pleasant message from either John L. or John F. Tagline was, "It's a toll call to NYC, but free if you call from work!" & answering or calling people all day in call centers, I sometimes did just that to perk up my day. :-D Believe me, this is a very funny tongue-in-cheek view on the common man or woman, or Worker to sum it up. I sing it to myself quite often during a job search or when there's too much month at the end of the money. Well, you get the drift... | |
