Dreams & False Alarms

leilacohanmiccio:

In a reply to my last post about “Shake Ya Tailfeather”, Anthony pointed out that “is that your ass or your momma have reindeer?” remains a baffling lyric. But here’s the thing: it’s only one of the bizarre parts of that song. To wit:

• Is that your ass or your momma have reindeer?
• I like the cocky bowlegged ones
• They be like “he’s the man” when I’m really a Thundercat
• I’m going to eat my money.

I think the line is “is that your ass or your momma HALF reindeer?” Which is still awfully whimsical, but.
