| Black Tongue rocks! For their first CD"Fever to Tell" This was my favorite song. Karen O can sound totally wacked at one second, then like a true opera singer the next. She is so diverse and different...man I love her!!All of their songs are like no one elses...and myfavorite part is this... Boy you just a stupid bitch and girl you just a no good dick.............. Perfect | |

| I think this song really shows just how well Karen can throw her voice around at whim and bring it back seamlessly. | |

| People need to actually know the lyrics to the damn song before they try to POST them...Way to disgrace an awesome song. I'm gonna agree with Brideonfire with this one, her interpretation seems to make the most sense... | |

| i'm surprised there aren't more comments on this song! it's one of my faves from them, and the lyrics are so obscure. i've found alot of flaws with the lyrics posted above; for instance i'm pretty sure its "we're high in the bathroom gonna have a pack soon" and not "we'll hide in the bathroom gonna have a packed suit" and "sonny kept his ring on" not "kept his rain on" there is one interpretation that jump out at me: it's about just being young and dumb and doing dumb shit just because you can still get away with it. These two kids are going through a rebellious phase, hence references to "getting high in the back room gonna have a pack soon" and "prison breaks" and being "on the run." right now they're being "stupid bitches and no good dicks" because it's fun and they can. | |

| K, so, the tongue is black...cause it's dead. they're in the mortuary, ok? packed suit is obviously a suitcase sunny's rain is a raincoat and i have to say that i don't think that this song actually means anything...karen o is one sick silly woman and i like it that way | |

| i think the "we can keep it in the family" line is what makes people think it's about incest. luckily karen is an only child. | |

| It's about Karen-O having sex with someone who can keep their black tongue that she found at the mortuary. If I wrote a song about incest, it would be more like"daddy" by korn even though that song was about his neighbour. | |

| also "sonny kept his ring on" probably references people taking off their wedding band when they cheat on their spouse. sonny apparently didn't care to take his off. and red tape usually means something's off-limits. | |

| after "we're high in the back room" i'm guessing that "we're gonna have it packed soon" means they're gonna smoke another bowl.. gotta pack it first! | |

| I'm not trying to be a bitch but morgue the band was made farrrr before this album. So the name couldn't be FROM the song. It was just added as PART of the song. Yeah. Maybe you are aware of this. Just thought I'd clarify... | |
