No correct guesses yet. I'll post another screenshot when I get home.

I heard that (again) recently when I watched Scream and Scream 2 for Halloween, and I remember thinking that it was probably about God. ("You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan, designed and directed by his red right hand.") And apparently it's an allusion to Paradise Lost.

Listening again, it seems to me like it's about "The Man," a catch-all for authority structures that have the power to upend your life: the military, drug syndicates, Hollywood…

Yeah, I agree. I guess that's it. I mean, even the sexual predator fits into the interpretation of overwhelming power that can change a life forever. I guess it is a song about the phenomena of overwhelming power in all its forms.

My impressions it's about pedophilia (a boy baited with the money by an older man), still I don't get the meaning of the red hand. Maybe a mark as The scarlet letter by N. Hawthorne?

That has always been my interpretation since I first heard it: a song with reference to sexual assault. However, I see that most people online interpret the red hand to be God's wrath or something a bit more specific to Ireland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Ulster

If anyone cares to share, how do you interpret the lyrics in this song?

Blaster Master?

[Nope!]

Well well well, my dear Mandle, how the tables have turned.

Nope!

(Sorry, I'm a petty petty man.) 

Errrrrr... I got nothing. Did I do or say something that led to this comment? I honestly do not remember if so.

Lol no just so used to trying to guess your questions and getting consistent 'nopes'. 

Btw, you need to update world history thread with a clue. 

I know what this is! I'm not going to say it though, because I would end up just giving my turn to someone else, so I'll let others have a go at it. Such a fantastic (and WEIRD) movie!

Doesn't surprise me at all that you love this one, too.

Crispin Glover is in that?! I'll have to watch it again.

Alright lads and lasses, how about this one:

Nice change of pace, Snarky.

Sorry, I know we've already had our TOOL moment, but if I'm to be true to the 'what song are you listening to right now' topic:

Oh that's Charlie's Angels

Hot Shots Part Deux?

Zorro?

No idea, but I really want to know what's going on in that second scene!

Hmm I think Stupot's in-laws are Japanese, so I'm going with an eraser for traditional Japanese ink writing?

This sounds like that goofy English guy (forget his name), so...Run Fatboy Run? Shawn of the Dead?
