Were you listening to 6 music yesterday ca. 17.30 @thesunneversets ? Think I was hanging up the laundry upstairs taking it all in. Have heard the song before , am a Violent Femmes fan, but the lyrics always strike you. Such a "perky" song with horrifying lyrics :-o

The amount of airtime The Decemberists' "The Rake's Song" gets in our household should also possibly be grounds for concern!

Gordon Gano wrote this song in sophomore year study hall, inspired by a local news story. ON WISCONSIN.
