When I was in the psych hospital PTSD program we had therapeutic recreation that we all called forced fun.

Indeed. Oh, by the way, I've cracked the code I've figured out these shadow organizations And the Illuminati know That they're finally primed for world domination [Pre-Chorus:] And soon you've got black helicopters comin' cross the border Puppet masters for the New World Order Be aware: there's always someone that's watching you And still the government won't admit they faked the whole moon landing Thought control rays, psychotronic scanning Don't mind that, I'm protected cause I made this hat [Chorus:] From aluminum foil (foil)... lol. awesome. Had you asked 20 years ago who in music would bring the biting social commentary at this time, I think Dave Mustaine and Weird Al Yankovic would of been the last two people anyone could possibly conceive. |

The song told me this...
you seriously just took a joke song that is obviously poking fun at conspiracy theorist and took the mention of conspiracy in that context to mean he is really a conspiracy theorist and is hiding it in satire i mean he picked the most generic conspiracy theories he could possibly have picked and talks about how his tinfoil hat will save him from being probed. how could that possibly be construed as being an endorsement? |

ok. at least you left it up to interpretation. He didn't pick theories, he picked mostly conspiracies. Psychotronic scanning is not in that generic class however. This is high art to my view. The simplicity speaks volumes: He's doing a t.v. show. So long as you sing to the masters tune, they let you live in celebrity and make lots of money. As Starla would like to say, once you break the programming and cross the line, they have to deal with you and cut you off. beautifully set up by the 1st verse sillyness and frivolity, then changes mode to the most serious of issues, still within the realm of parody, switching back to laughing it off with the tin foil hat. Great stuff. |

Starla doesn't like my views on the 'gay mafia'. She put me on ignore for awhile and she had every right, but I thought it was excessive. Mainly cuz I'm not wrong about it. Like any other political community there's a certain sub-set in the activist crowd that are just freaks.

btw, Weird Al is a big supporter of the LGBT crowd.
also, he foreshadows the 2nd verse in the 1st at the :33 mark of this video with the line "I don't care/ I got a secret trick up my sleeve In between those lines there's a quick edit to Oswald who looks a bit concerned for the moment which foreshadows his demeanor in the entire 2nd verse. The initial trick being Aluminum Foil to store the food is the double entendre as the trick is him shifting modes to the Illuminati lines. I'd guess his creative spark for this started with a Foil hat thought which lead to his 'cracked the code' 2nd verse which he likely wrote first. The Food stuff is filler and the foreshadowing from :33 to :36 explains the real secret trick he had up his sleeve. |

Wow I only recognize like half the songs he's even parodying. Who the fuck is Lord? What is Imagine Dragons? |

Was into it until Amanda cuntrag palmer showed up. Now I've no interest. Still love him but not supporting him on this album regardless of how good some of it is. Wont be buying it. Won't touch anything that has that useless slags name anywhere near an album.

Here, at least. Imagine Dragons is really really bad but pretty fucking ubiquitous. I don't listen to radio or anything and couldn't escape that fucking song for a while.
And Lorde was a pretty big deal over the past year? Right? |
