THE WEBSITE THAT CORRECTLY INTERPRETS THE MEANING OF THE CLASSIC SONG "AMERICAN PIE"

I wrote a paper in high school taking the references and discussing there historical context. As such, I believe I can be considered an 'expert' for any discussion about this song and what it really means.

This is one of the songs the DJ's would play whenever they had to run out and take a shiat.

FirstNationalBastard: Ennuipoet: My my this here Anakin guy
Maybe Vader someday later
Now he's just a small fry
He left his home
And kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin'
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

The only good thing to come out of the Star Wars prequels.

Excuse me?





Natalie Portman's ass and bare midriff would like a moment of your time.

AaronSynn: This is one of the songs the DJ's would play whenever they had to run out and take a shiat.

Along with Sympathy for the Devil and In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.

Never got the hate for the song. It's farking epic. It's Bohemian Rhapsody for straight people, or Stairway to Heaven for non-dope-smoking Tolkien nerd hippies.

What about Thick as a Brick?

Or was that used for the dump, a blowjob, and to score some blow from the guy around the corner?

No...that was the full version of 2112.

I grew to hate that song from being overplayed on AOR radio, but I understand it's appeal. Well written song.

Wayne 985: Awful, awful song. It's tedious, aggravating, and insipid. I change the station whenever it comes on.

Would you say that it insists upon itself?

Because it's whiny. It's Bohemian Rhapsody for whiny jackoffs who think the Beatles and the Stones ruined Good Ol' Amurrkin Rock N' Roll FOREVER.

/why yes, I do have a preferred interpretation of the song
//why do you ask?

For years it was played every midnight at O'Malley's in Champaign, Illinois.

Oskie-wow-wow.

It means he got pissed at a Stones concert when he heard Sympathy for the Devil and wished it was 1962 again and everyone was a white christian republican. BTW, it's "their" not "there". Go back to high school. The song sucks

That was a long, long time ago...

2wolves: Nina_Hartley's_Ass: CASEY KASEM'S AMERICAN TOP 40 - 1/15/72

The pre-disco era. Still sucked balls.

Compared to what? (new window)

I thought it was popular because it gave time for the DJ to go to the bathroom.

dobro: It means he got pissed at a Stones concert when he heard Sympathy for the Devil and wished it was 1962 again and everyone was a white christian republican.

I'm not sure if you're wrong or just stupid, but that's not even close to what the song is referring to.

Thick as a Brick is twice as long as 2112.

When that song came out, I actually lived near a levee, or I wouldn't have known what the fark it was talking about.

I didn't know what the hell the song was about, but I knew what a levee was. Every time I went out there, I could see the guy driving his car out to it. Then he----had a bad day, or something.

Well, I mean, it's not like I just arbitrarily named a long song or anything. Wouldn't ever pull something from my ass, nosiree!

If you are gonna "correct" someone who names a full length album song, pulling a single-side song from your ass seems kinda silly, dontchathink?

Countering with another 40 minute song (or longer) would have been impressive. Heck, I can name 6 songs roughly as long as 2112 from YES off the top of my head (Gates of Delirium, Close to the Edge, and the 4 from Topo).

R.I.P.

Acknowledging the problem is step 1.

Wasn't exactly a classic time in American music; much better stuff on the radio a few years later. And my sister had the #2 song on the list as a 45, heard that one WAY too much.

/a song about a skate key? WTF.

You have to remember that the 60s really didn't hit the middle of the U.S. until it was sanitized and corporate. Better than today? Yes, I'll grant you that.

You have a specific chart date (new window) in mind?

And here I thought the song was a lament for Don McLean's loss of his anal virginity. His loss of innocence as a young boy, when old Mr. Withers lured him inside with the promise of homemade ice cream and a bottle of root beer, only to find himself bound down on all fours, in Mr. Withers basement, a bit gag in his mouth. How Don did cry as Mr. Withers forced his meat pole into poor little Donny's brown eye, but his cries seemed to only encourage his attacker. How the mixture of pain, humiliation, and a tickled prostate made his penis so erect, despite himself, he was enjoying it. His loss of innocence, as well as his ability to get off without someone's big hard cock farking him in the ass.

It's all there in the lyrics, if you know where to look.

I bet they told each other "Jinx. You owe me a Coke."

Ugh, In the Year 2525 was #1 when I was born.

CognaciousThunk: /a song about a skate key? WTF.

I thought that meant the dude she was singing to had the "key" to get in her (the virgins) pants.

She's got new skates he's got the key. She thought they should get together and try them out and see (?)... La la la la la la la lah....

She sounds cute as hell, so Im sticking to that theory.

Bobby Vinton's Blue Velvet was #1 when I was born. Still on radio 10 years later.

Pants full of macaroni!!: By sheer coincidence, I just finished reading Soul Music, which is also about a day the music died.

Sweet jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick, I do love that book. Probably one of my favorites in the series, and, for me, the best DEATH book.

well yeah it's all double-entendre in that tune, but still... dates the song quite a bit. Roller skates were old school by 1972 until disco revived them (shudder).

Cute Melanie? Yep. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand_New_Key
