cele Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I know there are some song that have strange meanings, and there are also some threads talking about terrible lyrics. But there is something about this song. what the fuck? an ode to deodorant, just because it is the confidence he needs. Is there someone that can explain me this?

jelynch2 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I don't know...was he "the smelly kid?" And this was the only way he could get up the courage to talk to the ladyfolk? hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dry_pretzels Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I think Chris wrote the song as a joke or just for fun. I mean, it's like a full-out rock song about something mundane, like deodorant. :shrug: Sorry if that wasn't the answer you're looking for . . .

NumbersGirl Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Nothing grandiose. Just deodorant. Same with "Yellow". He just saw the Yellow Pages on the shelf. Well, the song was about more than just the Yellow Pages, but not the name of the song itself. Sorry to disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fietssleutel Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I like it the way it is. It's supposed to be crappy and obscure. The lyrics are pure genius though. :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueDeNimes Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I agree with rickenbacker, fantastic song!! :heart: And I just see it as a fun song. Maybe it was made late at night as a joke but then it turned into a proper song, who knows!

Paulinha coldplay Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Amazing song! It's a joke, like The Nappies, but Ode To Deodorant has something more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_squared Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Amazing song! It's a joke, like The Nappies, but Ode To Deodorant has something more... Maybe there's even a link between the two, bearing in mind that nappies smell, and the deodorant could be an antidote!:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isab3lla Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I like the song! especially the guitar riff and I think the lyrics are hilarious. I believe it was meant as a joke so if they decided to record a new version of it, I would be happy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
