Mexican Wine

Fountains of Wayne : Welcome Interstate Managers

Today's song meaning comes from a guest writer (not that he knows it):repair registry pro 1.45 free

Taken from SongMeanings:
Now, is this the deepest song ever? Of course not. But it isn't "pop, pain and simple." It *does* mean something. repair registry pro 1.45 free

"He was killed by a cellular phone explosion
They scattered his ashes across the ocean " repair registry pro 1.45 free

Bizzarre and unrealistic way to die, yet a grandiose sendoff. Existentialism, plain and simple. repair registry pro 1.45 free

"The water was used to make baby lotion
The wheels of promotion were set into motion " repair registry pro 1.45 free

In other words, his death amounted to nothing, and yet it still set events into place. repair registry pro 1.45 free

"But the sun still shines in the summer time
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
I tried to change but I changed my mind
Think I'll have another glass of mexican wine " repair registry pro 1.45 free

No matter what happens, some things you can always count on. Second line is a standard song lyric, I've gotten used to it. Third line is him thinking "Well, I could try and change things" but then saying screw it and accepting life. Fourth line is sitting back and appreciating what you DO have. repair registry pro 1.45 free

She lived alone in a small apartment
Across the street from the health department
She left her pills in the glove compartment
That was the afternoon her heart went repair registry pro 1.45 free

Girl, living across from the health department, leaves her pills in the car the one day she needs them, (presumably) dies of a heart attack. Ironic and tragic death, and yet chorus shows that life goes on. repair registry pro 1.45 free

"I used to fly for United Airlines
Then I got fired for reading high times
License expired in almost no time
Now I'm retired and I think that's fine " repair registry pro 1.45 free

Play on two meanings of the word high, then him accepting what has happened and being happy with it. repair registry pro 1.45 free

I really like this song - now. I didn't like it when I first heard it but that was because I was expecting something different from the group that did the Crank Yankers theme song. I did eventually hear what I was looking for and once I threw out my expectations I started to like this song.repair registry pro 1.45 free

The keyboard in the break is awesome. I love cheesy 'boards so much.* The one thing I thought about though when I first heard this song was that this guy's voice reminds me of "Weird Al's." He sings better than "Weird Al" but that's not the point of "Weird Al," of course.repair registry pro 1.45 free

*I also like saying 'boards instead of keyboards.**
**This is the first time I've ever said 'boards instead of keyboards.repair registry pro 1.45 free
