Mike Patton said in an interview that this song is about working class, white-trash culture in America and he described it as a fat guy sitting in a trailer, eating horrible food, watching horrible TV, beating his kids every once in a while and abusing his wife! Kinda reminds me of that sample from Mr. Bungle, The Girls Of Porn "I'LL KILL YOU I'LL KILL YOU BOY!"
This song annoys me because I keep trying to change the melody to the underwater mario sequence. It's definitely intentional. But other than that the song is very good.
When they played this song live, in Santiago, I literally cried! Best moment ever...It's an excellent album, and this is a masterpiece...difficult to write sth coherent & listening to this at the same time xD
@CentraljocK Thanks, I know...I think it's funnier to say "every time I bend over my feet itch." Song don't make that much sense to me anyways, might as well invent some funny expressions out of it. I appreciate your kind tone though and am on the side of anyone who like FNM! Peace.
People couldn't handle this album when it came out, I literally got it when I was 12 I am now 27 and the full realization of its amazingness has come to fruition.
The verse starting at 1:50 is a direct reference to a scene from Scarface w/ Al Pacino in which one of Tony Montana's associates is hung from a shower rod with a belt, chainsawed to death and stuffed inside of garbage bags. I'm not sure if anyone had posted that or not but it bears mentioning.
92 had a lot of good albums that came out. The best was Angel Dust. If I want to listen to one song from that album, hell I can't listen to just one of them, I always listen to the entire thing.
@Curtofthehorde94 Exactly he same here but i have listened to them since i was eight and every time i think i have a favourite a new song pops up granted their songs are all awesome but its just impossible to pick one or maybe thats just me my dads favourite is stripsearch which just ....*dribbles from mouth* ...Awesome
william shatner lived in a trailer ...most movie stars live in trailers for months at a time ,while filming... so stop dissing trailers ...theyizzz much better than apartment/townhouse crowded noisy ghettos... that Canadians "call home"??? ...
Not all songs, necessarily, reflect what an artist had lived through or undergone. Sometimes a song is intended merely to paint a picture. Sometimes ugly pictures are the most interesting to look at.
It is a reference to the redneck culture in country areas of the u.s.
The song originally had two other working titles before RV was settled on. These being "Macaroni and Cheese" and "Country Western Song" Both also obvious references to the redneck culture.
Recreational Vehicle, i.e., a trailer or motorhome. Stereotypically associated with stereotypes of rednecks and so-called "white trash", the theme of this song.
(slumdivision) SUBDIVISION TRASH = canadians who are total socialist commie cocksuckers who live in crowded ugly expensive tract townhouses/condos built by developers AND LOVE IT
@wiggertronix you know you're not far off the truth by what you say, and might i also add that Canada is the world's dumping ground for immigrants who want to leach of the system and create special interest groups to suit their agenda. Sri Lankans blocking the highway for months on end? who the hell do they think they are? No American would tolerate that kind of attitude. Hello YOUR NOT IN SRI LANKA your in CANADA.
