FUCKIN' MAGNETS, HOW DO THEY WORK??

[Cornfed_Juggalo]

I know that with me being probably the only Juggalo on the F.O.T. Board I will probably get flamed for this but the song is meant to convey the message that just being alive is the real miracle and that people should look around to see the wonders that were bestowed upon us....A lot of what is referenced (whether audio or visual) in the song such as magnets or the pelican are there for pure comic relief, it's all tongue-in-cheek humor....

"I don't wanna talk to a scientist,
y'all mother fuckers lyin' an' gettin' me pissed"

Is that part of the tongue-in-cheek humor too? If so, I have been misusing the phrase 'tongue-in-cheek humor' for decades.

Tongue-in-cheek is a term used to refer to humor in which a statement, or an entire fictional work, is not meant to be taken seriously, but its sarcasm is subtle. The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as "Ironic, slyly humorous; not meant to be taken seriously".

Those fuckin' OED editors pro'ly lyin' too.

Ya got that right, now if he was talking about chemists in the pharmaceutical industry
then he would have been serious....

I think "Magic everywhere in this bitch" should be the Faygo slogan

maybe they should just poison the faygo.

I can't think of a meaningful definition of "miracle" that would include most of the stuff in that song.  The song seems to think that a miracle is just anything that happens, pelicans, sandwiches, hoo-hoos, whatever.  Just being great doesn't make something a miracle.

They should rap about turning water into Faygo.

Not a word about the 'Massachusetts Miracle'. Oh Dukakis, someday history will vindicate you.

[Joe Rogaine]

So i guess they explained the song in an interview.



Well, ICP turned over the last Joker's Card ("The Wraith") in 2004. And it turned out that, uh, the Dark Carnival... is God:

    It ain't about Violent J or Shaggy, the Butterfly or 17. When we speak of 'Shangri-La', what you think we mean? Truth is we follow GOD, and have always been behind him. The Carnival is GOD and may all Juggalos find him!"

So where do you go from there? Well, once you've revealed to your fans that the creepy gothic mythology you've spent 12 years developing is just, you know, Christianity with clown makeup and faygo, basically all you're left with is praise songs. Hence:

    Water, fire, air and dirt
    Fucking magnets, how do they work?
    And I don't wanna talk to a scientist
    Y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed.

[Pidgeon]

I don't think I've ever heard of an entire discography being retconned.

Violent J clarifies:

"As for the infamous line, fuckin’ magnets… how do they work? Magnets were like magic to me as a kid. You could move things across the table without actually touching them! I found that shit amazing and I still do. If you don’t like that, have a dick for dinner. As for the sun and the stars. Who looks up into the sky and doesn't wonder sometimes? Come on, man, I fuckin’ straight up feel sorry for anybody that can look at the moon the trees, and the seven seas, and not see fuckin’ miracles. It’s not about religion either. Nature itself is a miracle. Stand toe to toe with the ocean at night and tell me that shit ain’t amazing."

[Steeley Chris]

"... have a dick for dinner."

I wonder if it has to be hot and in a bowl.

[Christina]

Violent J clarifies:

It wouldn't be possible that the world is making fun of the song because the ideas are expressed so unbelievably poorly, would it? It must be that we're making fun of ICP because we don't have fucking poetry in our souls and can't see the sun, moon, stars, ocean, etc as so-named "miracles".

Seriously, you guys.  I think we all need to "take a time out, open up ya mind and then peep the giraffe."

[cavorting with nudists]

"We appreciate all this shit. Especially a yellow ass, long neck giraffe."
