Shonen Knife

They kick ass :01:

But what does this mean, really? :unsure:

Generally speaking every park has them
Commonly they are at the sand box
Occasionally they are vandalized by someone
They are painted many colors
Elephant, Raccoon, Tiger

Concrete Animals,
Concrete Animals
Can I ride on your back
Concrete Animals,
Concrete Animals
Let's take a picture together

They are too big to carry back home
They are too heavy for me to move
After the sun sets they have a secret party
Nobody knows they dance together

Pony, Rabbit, Zebra

Generally speaking, they make the children happy
Commonly they are playing at the park
But if it is dirty and dangerous
Where can the children play together?

Concrete Animals,
Concrete Animals
Can I ride on your back
Concrete Animals,
Concrete Animals
Let's take a picture together

Best Band Ever :01:

I just wan't to make sure I'm not missing out on some hidden meaning here :unsure:

Oh ffs, here I give you people a chance to bask in the glory of a shonen knife appreciation thread, and no one is interested.

Sometimes I worry about you ppl. :no:

:lol:

Funnily enough, I've just written a bit about Millencolin in the music thread, this lot are the same - cept the don't rawk as much.

There is no hidden message, just enjoy the bubblegum :D

:ohmy: They Rawk! :01:

I think there may be some form of secret message, do you see how the concrete animals dance in secret? There has to be some form of ominous purpose to that. :ph34r: :nuke:

I promise.

When I was a lad, most playgrounds had concrete animals atop steel springs. You just kind of wobble about on top.

Reading the lyrics, I think that is what they are talking about.

I can't say that I have seen them around today,

That sort of spoiled this notion I had about huge lumbering concrete elephants and bears performing Swan Lake in secret. :(

That would have been really cool.

You really didn't get that, Snny? I thought hobbes was an early entrant for the 2005 Ziggy sponsored 'stating the blatantly obvious' award :D

:rolleyes:

Sucka!, as Mr. T. would say.

I do hope hobbes hasn't suckercawked me :unsure:

Actually that is the "Howard Cosell Award"

"You have an incredible ability to state the obvious"

The most arrogant and annoying sports announcer in the history of the US.

So I'm left in Limpopo.

I think a re-reading has cleared it all up for me.

Thanks for your collective help. Yes.
