JL: Thank you very much. JF: We're doing songs from our first album, everybody. JL: We had to go back and listen to it. We didn't just know them. JF: I remember, our very...you know, we've done a lot of interviews, and we've been asked a lot of questions that are real stumpers. But I think like our second or third interview, someone asked...what the song 'Rabid Child' was about, and I had to say, inside I was thinking "the song is called 'Rabid Child', isn't that enough?" JL: Right... JF: "How much more stuff can we load into one song?" JL: Right. "What's the secret message, there?" JF: "What are you trying to say?" JL: Right. JF: And that's when I knew we were destined to middle-sized rock stardom. JL: Hey now, don't applaud too loud. JF: Because I politely answered I didn't know what to say. That was my...my answer. And the interview continued...until it was done. This song is called 'Rabid Child'. Rabid child stays at home, talks on a CB Truckers pass calling out their handles to the kid Chess Piece Face and The Big Duluth call her every day "Hammer down" and "rabbit ears" are the only words they know (Hammer down) (Hammer down, rabbit ears) (Hammer down, rabbit ears) (Hammer down, rabbit ears, hammer down) If you pass the rabid child say "hammer down" for me The rabid child The rabid child The rabid child |
