I managed to beat SMB without warp or walkthrough. But I had Game Genie. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

To this day I haven't the faintest idea what the song is supposed to mean, and like Jacob, I couldn't tell without the lyrics written out what they were even singing. Weird Al's version actually pokes fun at that fact:<br><br><i>What is this song... all about?<br>Can't figure any lyrics out<br>How do the words... to it go?<br>I wish you'd tell me, I dunno...<br><br>Well I'm mumblin' ... and I'm screamin'<br>But I don't know ... what I'm singin'<br>Crank the volume ... ears are bleedin'<br>I still don't know ... what I'm singin'<br>We're so loud and ... incoherent<br>Boy this oughta ... bug your parents!</i><br><br>...and so it goes. Ironically Kurt Cobain is quoted as saying he felt that the band had "arrived" when Weird Al parodied them. (BTW, have you by any chance heard the parody in question, DCS?)

It wasn't really aimed at you buddy, and it was only a joke. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

Most of the Vandals' lyrics are pretty nonsensical, same with Norma Jean and Every Time I Die.
