Bacharach and David
used to write his favourite songs
never would he worry
he'd just run and fetch the ball

but the night lights and my dog's life
aren't exactly one and the same
Youth culture killed my dog
and I don't think it's fair
and the judgement made in the city of hate
just broke his spirit so
Bacharach and David used to write his favourite songs
never would he worry he'd just run and fetch the ball
but the hip-hop and the white funk
just blew away my puppy's mind
E D A D A
I don't understand what you did to my dog
Youth culture killed my dog
and I don't think it's fair
and his suicide can be justified
by the tastemakers how they cried and cried
Youth culture...

| You have to remember this song was released in 1986, when "Hip-Hop" and "White Funk" represented relatively radical realignments of our pop-culture paradigm. The dog seems a very powerful metaphor, someone with a very simple mind who can't process all this new input, and apparently drops dead because of it. Could the doggie be a symbol for the conservative backlash against the music industry? 1986 was, if I remember correctly, the year that the Dead Kennedys were sued by the government for "distribution of pornography" over the H. R. Giger insert in "Frankenchrist." It was around this time that 2 Live Crew went on trial, although that may have been later. | |

| Yeah! Eat this white boy angst, you wigger poop-eaters! And I agree. Hip-hop is terrible, and white funk is just sad. | |

| I always thought the song was ironic. I figured it was poking fun at people who blame teenagers and hip hop for all the world's problems. I don't know. | |
