Hint - Piece of a cake, own share, military costume "blood just spills and spills" "My hand just kills and kills" Fucking best song, best video clip. Fuck America.
Each time I hear this song, I wonder if John Mellencamp would sound like this if he tried to sing "Jack & Diane" if he was on Quaaludes after a really bad day. That is to say, I love this song. However, I don't think I should listen to this with "Murderer" too many times in a row.
I have considered The Sopranos but I like the teen aspect of skins (not to say i can only watch one show but it does take up a lot of my time) but yeah it's your opinion
As silly as it seems, if you actually think about it, he looks at the slice of cake on the plate, and looks at the whole cake. And he eats the whole cake, meaning he wants the whole thing. A sign of greed, it sounds stupid when you think a whole cake resembles greed, but that's what it's about.
The video is a metaphore of greed (oil basically). The US doesn't care for the people who are wanting help and attention (the people clapping) and want everything for them selves, hence the guy eating the whole cake to him self. Even though the right thing would be easier, the US takes the hard way around it all (the piece of cake on a plate reprenting the simple solution).
I think the video is about getting older and how everything tastes more and more like shit as we age (birthday cake = 1 year older). I think the uniform represents conformity.
they said that the whole album is about the iraq war so that would probably explain his soldiers uniform, and im guessing the cake is a metaphor for killing people and how he just cant stop because they're in the iraq war, etc.
Wouldn't call Skins the.. greatest.. show of all time. Not after Series.3... But it is a great way to find certain bands (though i knew about Low before Skins).
Skins features a lot of great music from great artist.
I have enjoyed the music from a couple artist and bands that have been featured on Skins and has introduced me to a lot of great bands who otherwise I would probably not have heard of and if that makes me some poser or not a true fan so be it.
Skins has influenced more people than any contemporary artist can dream of. Popularity doesn't automatically turn something into rubbish, and elitism doesn't help you be an artist. Stop despising cake just because everybody likes it. Have some, and you might soon find yourself pigging on it too.
i read a post on a forum on a hottest 100 of all time music competition thing. and one of the songs was sex on fire - kings of leon, and someone said, "another great song ruined by comercialism". comercialism did nothing to the song. it just meant other people knew about it too, which to this person made it less "cool" to listen to.
the cake point was great, describes it exactly. :)
i think alan was eating the whole cake to show how people don't just want a slice for themselves, they want the whole thing...and this is how they consume it...until they are sick

Why are people even discussing "Skins"?
It's nothing more than some shitty for-the-masses show which used this song to try to lay claim to some "underground cool". If you're not going to be it, please leave art alone.
I think it´s interesting that he didnt take the small piece of the cake which stands in front of him but the whole cake,like he wants everything, not only a part...so you can transform this metaphor (maybe) into the human beeing, if they can get everything, though they don´t need it, they grab it
haha wow i'm never gonna get over this! wow. i feel bad for mimi, she's probably thinking how the heck did i ever let my husband get himself into this! haha love ya aunt mimi and uncle alan! can't wait to see ya guys wen u tour over here on the east coast! :)
now look at him poor lil ckrack attict, why do you think mommy and daddy says not to have to much crack --cuz it welll look at the film I suspect it may be a new trend among dates for winners look out lil girls the skins are hungry when food it is good just buy a shovel and lovbe it like its your las meal of the week lol
Well no, seeing as though this video was posted two years ago somehow I don't think its based on the "cookie episode" which was aired last month and proberly only written a few months ago.Unless they predicted it would happen, DUH. Maybe the idea for the episode was based from this video?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the video i think is to do with the song being featured in an episode of skins on c4. In which "cookies episode" cookie ate a whole cake in a pub on his birthday, probly this
