Iko Iko in a metal tragedy
Nov. 17th, 2009 02:41 pmOK, the latest Rihanna discussion that people frustratingly put under flock regards the second line in verse two of "Fire Bomb." Candidates are:
"Like the way that I'm at a tragedy"
"Microwave and a metal tragedy"*
"I echo within a metal tragedy"
My heart says "microwave" but my mind says "I echo," though the issue is hardly settled, and a third-party candidate may well carry the day.
*Leads to discussion of late-evening college entertainment consisting of different objects experimentally placed within microwave oven (some reliably characterized as "it's beautiful and it's blue").
EDIT: "Microwaving a metal tragedy" seems to be the - excellent - consensus, now. Or perhaps "Microwaving the metal tragedy." See here, especially![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
weasel_seeker's suggestion that we add a dash:
Seems cold but baby no it doesn't have to be / Microwaving the metal - tragedy"
