Questions for blog:
1. What is this song about?
2. What is the theme of the song?
Answers:
1. The song talks about the wives of men in the military, the minds of celebrities, and cannibal kings.
2. The point of this song is to point out the flaws of America. The "cannibal kings" represent the people, who like to devour the news (the military wives and celebrity minds). "Fourteen cannibal kinds wondering blithely what the dinner bell will bring. Fourteen celebrity minds served on a leafy bed of sixteen military wives." The cannibals "eat" the news. The seven people who show up to the eighteen academy chairs represent the small percentage of people who actually care about the military wives and celebrity minds. "Eighteen academy chairs out of which only seven really even care." Also, the anchorperson represents how a lot of what people think isn't even important. "La de da de da de-dadedade-da," is the unimportant things most people talk about.
