And when my dishes were dirty, I got Cascade.I got it MADE.
― Joseph McCombs, Sunday, 14 September 2008 04:55 (fifteen years ago) link
wow, that song... that whole verse is amazing:
I'm kinda spoiledCuz everything I want I got madeI wanted gear - got everything from cotton to suedeI wanted lead - I didnt beg, I just got laidMy hair was growin' too long, so I got me a fadeAnd when my dishes got dirty, I got CascadeWhen the weather was hot, I got a spot in the shadeI'm wise because I rise to the top of my gradeWanted peace on Earth, so to God I prayedSome kids across town thought I was afraidThey couldnt harm me - I got the army brigadeI'm not a trader - If what you got is greater, I'll tradeBut maybe later cuz my waiter made potato -n- alligator soufleeI got it made
I mean, it has it all - abuse of the passive voice to make the rhyme work, flat out self-contradiction ("I'm not a trader [...] I'll trade" (unless there's some "traitor" pun that I'm not getting), statements that would probably be true of anybody and don't really prove that he's got it made (wants peace on Earth). The only question is, which is more banal: that he sits in the shade when it's hot, or that he washes his dishes with Cascade?
― Doctor Casino, Sunday, 14 September 2008 05:07 (fifteen years ago) link
I like how his waiter is the one making the fancy dishes though - that actually does kind of suggest he's got it made.
