He is lying. That is what I am talking about. When I first read his story behind the song, from the poor abused kid’s perspective, bla bla bla, I believed it. But the more I think about it, a jingle writer knows EXACTLY. What he is doing, making murder sound cute and bubbly. Sorry. Not buying his story.
I don’t think he’s necessarily trying to make murder sound cute and bubbly per se. The song is rather dark IMO. The upbeat bridge with the dark lyrics sort of makes it even darker, a juxtaposition in a way.
I admit liking the song but then I liked it better hearing on my crappy car radio when first hearing it on my way home from work, when I couldn’t quite make out the lyrics that I thought were “better run out run my dog, faster than my bunny”. : ),
