"I had a cat sitting on my belly, and was in a rather hypersensitive state, and I followed this cat out to – I believe it was Neptune – and there were rainbows across Neptune, and cats marching across the rainbow. This cat took me in all these cat places; there's some essence of that in the song." R. Hunter
Hunter himself said China Cat was the only song nobody had ever asked him the meaning of, and that it's good that there are some things that are clear to everyone.
Dang.
I still don't know what a 'double E waterfall" is.
cosmic charlie is one of the most cringe songs of all time. the only thing more cringe than cosmic charlie was furthur playing cosmic charlie and doing those airplane arms gestures
Surf this whole thread is a reaction to me saying Phish lyrics and music are nonsense and shallow. I agree they are good musicians. The music to me isn't appealing. Nuff said.
I agree with what Sam Cutler said about them. He sure got reamed for stating his opinion.
Shaking in the forest, what have you to fear?
Here there may be tigers, to punch you in the ear.
With gloves of stainless steel, bats carved out of bricks
Knock you down and beat you up and give your ass a kick.
When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love.
I just read the Phish thread. Damn, Doolittle, way to piss on a parade. It's mean, I've been calling them "kiddie play music" and "carnival music" since 1988, but I sure as hell wouldn't interrupt people's good time, on New Year's to boot, to type it.
Bri people have pissing on parades and giving their opinions here since the beginning.of this site. You surely know that. And my critique of Phish WAS NOT Mean! I just don't get them. And not very impressed by them other then they seem to be pretty good musicians! :Lot's of good musicians out there, Doesn't mean I like their output.

I always find it humorous when GD fans complain about the vocals or the lyrics of other bands. GD vocals are somewhere between adequate and awful. While there are some tunes with interesting and inspired lyrics, there are also tunes like Sugaree and Bertha, which are well suited for a rocking teenage ensemble.
