Scott's obssesion with "days of the week"

[cosmicpilot]

On every day of the week it is someone's birthday so Scott masturbates!

lol hilarius

Plus in vasoline, he makes masturbation noises!

I think the days of the week maybe due to his catholic unbringing as I am sure I read somewhere he was an alter boy!  Heaven and Hotrods mentions about not being able to get in heaven on a sunday in the lyrics.  Defo a nod to this I feel.

I am obsessed with the video with them cute glasses

Wow.....a thread from 2008 gets bumped and the conversation continues like it never stopped.  


Well if we're talking about Scott talking about certain "days" during his songs, how about

"Salad Day" in Trippin on a hole? I've never understood what thats supposed to mean.

Then again, I'm pretty sure I dont understand anything in that song really.

Your "salad days" are meant to be the best days of your life - as in "those were our salad days" or whatever.

You're right though - the whole lyric to that song is crazy. Those are the ones I love the best, when Scott appears to be on about nothing very much at all but then certain lines just jump right out at you. That's his great strength as a lyricist imo.

"Somebody raped my tapeworm abortion..." (wtf??)  I find that a lot of his lyrics don't make much sense, but they're still very good and tend to flow well with the songs.

amazing that you missed out illegal I "all hate sundays!"

Also- in their interview with lamo-Carolla Scott and Dean talk about how "wonderful" Days of the Week is. Scott also mentioned that the record company picked that single and he understands how fans who like the harder STP were disappointed.

I know an artist will never say they don't like a song they produce (or are asked to produce), but I wonder if he actually likes it. I mean it's soft rock, but poppy. Wonderful, Still Remains and Lady Picture Show are soft, but not poppy.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Thanks for that. This is topic is hilarious. Shame on anyone who bothers to over-analyze it. It's just a quirk of his. And it makes for LOL-filled discussion for us "core" fans. The fact that we're all reading in on and participating in this topic makes us just as "obsessed" with Scott's "obsession" as he is!

Ok - maybe this has been mentioned before - but is it just me or has anyone else noticed Mr Weilands obsession with the days of the week -

apart from the obvious title to the track off core the rest of these songs refer to the days of the week quite often -

Naked Sunday
Interstate Love Song (carrying on with the sunday tradition!)
Down (Sunday girl!)
Heaven and HotRods (obsession with Sunday!)
Church On Tuesday
Days Of The Week
You can't drive me away - "why don't you wear those sunday shoes"
She Mine (mentioning monday, Sunday and tuesday again!!)

Though it's an STP song, considering Scott wrote the lyrics don't forget Between the Lines - "Crocodile sunday smile"

According to the lyric sheet, it's "Crocodiles sometimes smile." Could be a typo, but that's how it's printed, for what it's worth. I for one was hoping it was another nod to Scott's favorite day of the week.

Oh oops...I read that at a lyric site. Sorry.  

Your line would make more sense, too. Of course, Scott's lyrics do have that surreal-feel to it quite often, so it would suit him to write that. I would say when it comes to this song, you're right, though.

Yeah what is that even supposed to mean? "It's killing time in the streets, all hate Sunday!" Ah, I love Weiland lyrics lol. I love that part of "Illegal I Song" too, Scott sounds sick

[VelvetLounngeFly]

I remember when Scott mentioned at el Rey during a vr show  that "It's so easy" influenced him to write the lyrics for Sex Type Thing " wanna know what influenced that song for me?" that song says "...Sunday dress" maybe he thought it was a good line and decided to use for his lyrics? Doesn't sunday symbolize something pure?
