Interpretations:D Is For Drums

From This Might Be A Wiki

Drugs

D is actually for drugs, which is why Flans can't remember extremely obvious things and needs some "juice". —Preceding unsigned comment added by AaronSw (talkcontribs) 21:30, February 24, 2005

Yes.... this seems to be perfect subject matter for a kids album..... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.136.126.197 (talk) 15:40, March 6, 2005
Yeah... i reconized the "juice" thing too. I wonder if the Johns did that on purpose just to give their older fans a bit of laughter. ~ fingertips 23:00, March 6, 2005
If so, I hope they're not AKA Driving to John's house. - Rhinoceros Rex 23:55, March 6, 2005
Thanks, guys. You've completely ruined this song for me (in the best possible way). XD ~Anna Ng hears your words. 15:15, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Actually, these guys are clever. Had they said, "I think it is for something that you DO in a band," I'd be on board with the intentional drugs reference. As it were, I think it's just coincidence. Funny one, to be sure, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kilroy8675309 (talkcontribs) 05:54, August 24, 2008

Fake Believe

Flansburgh is feigning amnesia years before claiming to do so on The Else. :-) --MisterMe 10:27, 25 May 2012 (EDT)

Sure, past self, but he could also be riffing on the creeping problem of forgetfulness in middle age. I am now approaching the same age Flansy was while recording (and probably writing) this song, so I find myself coming a bit more to terms with how one can forget such simple terms as "drums". Like, I can say everything around it ("an instrument you play in a band", "something that you play with sticks"), but the word itself comes a bit harder. Ha. Ha. Ha... :-/ --MisterMe (talk) 15:26, 6 May 2024 (EDT)
