    I love that when they filmed this, they had a suitcase of CDs, and a handmade sign saying "pay what you want :) " and now, here we are 5 years later, their music has been in television shows, I've heard two of their songs on the radio, they've had at least one world tour that i know of, and one of their LPs even charted. Not bad for guys singing a song about cousin lovin' in front of the Royal Bank Plaza in Toronto.

      I think the strongest, most obvious interpretation, is:
      1) 'I tore up the restraining order' - The cousins Dad told her to stay away from the singer and got a court order to make him stay way.
      2) Dont you know not to kiss and tell' - singer and cousin had been having a consensual affair till Daddy found out.
      3) 'Pulled you out by your hair, people ask, I was never there, come on baby and take a ride with me, come on baby lets drive out to the sea' - he essentially kidnaps the girl and forces her into the car at which time he gets on the highway and accelerates till he loses control and fatally crashes and kills them both.
      Deep South's music is almost all death metal lyrics. Every song has some kind of death theme.

      I saw this line very differently. The way I see it is more figuratively, he didnt kidnap as she was more than willing to go. The "by the hair" just means he didnt really give her time to think about it. He just did a grab and go.
      As for the last section, going faster, I dont see it as literal either. More, he is going faster in the relationship than she wants. As normal, the guy is thinking with his dick, and the girl is being more mature.

    Tore up the restraining order
    I don't care I'm comin' over
    What your daddy said isn't goin' over to well
    Don't you know not to kiss and tell
    Mama said, she's my brothers daughter
    And I don't even know who's my father
    I guess she's my cousin
    But she needs some sweet lovin' anyway
    Pulled you out by your hair
    If people ask I was never there
    Come on baby and take a ride with me
    Come on baby let's drive to the sea
    Mama said, she's my brothers daughter
    And I don't even know who's my father
    I guess she's my cousin
    But she needs some sweet lovin' anyway
    It's a hot night drivin' down highway sixty
    With my baby in the passenger seat
    I roll down my window and I
    Lean my head back and put my foot to the floor
    We're going faster
    And she's saying slow down
    (Slow down)
    We're going faster
    And she's saying slow down
    (Slow down)
    We're going faster
    And she's saying slow down
    (Slow down)
    We're going faster
    And she's saying slow down
    (Slow down)
    And I say no
    And she's saying slow down
    And I say no
    And she's saying slow down
    And I say no
    And she's saying slow down
    And I say no
    And shes screaming slow down
    And I say no
    Mama said, she's my brothers daughter
    And I don't even care who's my father
    I guess she's my cousin
    But she needs some sweet lovin' anyway

    I'm just amazed seeing a resurrection of thiss...folksy(?) southern(?) bluegrass(?) type of music. And it's coming out of places you wouldn't even expect like Canada or California for crying out loud haha. And it sounds genuine too. Very interesting. I hope this kind of music sticks around for awhile. I'm a Mexican dude from a California suburb and this shit gets me UP. I never understood why people don't like a particular song just because it's from a particular genre. If a song is good, it's fucking good. It doesn't matter if it's rock, jazz, soul, folk, rap, EDM or whatever; or if it's perceived to be white or black or purple people music.

Like as far as country goes, for instance, one of the best artists many ain't heard of is Chris Knight. Check his song Going Down the River. It's metal as fuck, but it's real country.

    • @fuzzypanda2804
      @fuzzypanda2804 4 года назад +17

      Honestly never really thought about this song that way. That it was kinda mocking the stereo type instead of playing up the stereo type for their "Southern" image. Cause people in urban areas really do think very very very little about people that live in more rural areas. Seen it alot since moving to LA, had some shit call me a cousin Fer cause I said our family has a farm out on the Florida Georgia line, also had people try to talk down to me and my dad thinking we are morons. If this is mocking the people that think that way about rural folk then I think I can look at this song in a different light.
