Why'd Sting have to go get all pompous and boring. The Police ROCKED!!!!

Why not take the meaning from the man himself (Sting): and then there's 'Peanuts', a quirky number not unlike Devo's 'Uncontrollable Urge', which Sting says is "about my disappointment with Rod Stewart, who became a big joke when he used to be a big hero." I think they refer to people like Rod Stewart as a "wanker" in England (i.e., A detestable person). Google this to get the skinny: 01.01.1979 - The Aquarian. Peace

Hey, K1...it's a song about being fed up with tabloid journalism and celebrity antics. He blames fame and the falsity of celebrity both with ruining people (by rendering them divas) and creating prurient interest by the public in those antics (perpetuating crappy press). "Peanuts" is the implied vendors call to the crowd as he vends snacks to those watching said "circus."
Hope that helped! :^D
