    "Fake plastic submarine" is what the band used to call girls who "tried too hard" to be sexy in high school. So yeah... It's an inside joke.

      I think the singer was saying that there was a contradiction between people telling him he’s insignificant and yet telling him that his words matter. I think that he should’ve resolved that by saying that his words did, in fact, matter, and he should be responsible, but maybe if the same person told him both of these things, then he could correctly be calling out some hypocrisy.

    This song had a personal impact on me. Pop punk was becoming pretty big at the time and bands like Sum 41 were getting tons of radio play (I listened to the local alternative radio station a lot back in the 90's). "Right Now" (the SR-71 song, not the Van Halen song (insert Crystal Pepsi joke)) started getting lots of play and it was a pretty good song for what it was. I think a lot of people thought that SR-71 would be just as big as the other bands. The problem is, we never heard any other songs from them on the radio.
    Back then, I was still proudly building my "impressive" CD collection, inspired by my older brother who had done so before me, so I was always excited to find new music that I liked and having a job and disposable income meant that I could afford to buy music instead of downloading it. Physical media had tangible value, and I loved going through the album booklets. Besides, back then I was still stuck on dial-up so downloading a single 160kbps mp3 (I refused to download 128kbps files because they sounded like garbage) often took an hour or more. Buying my music was the obvious choice.
    Except in this case, because I only knew the one song. This was quickly becoming a problem in this era of music, it was a pattern that I noticed happening over and over again: band breaks into the mainstream behind the strength of a single song, one that doesn't sound like any of the other songs on the album. People buy the album based on one radio hit only to never listen to the album they paid $14 for ever again. The song turns into a sour reminder of the wasted money and we all end up hating the song that caused us to buy it in the first place.
    SR-71 was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. Never again would I buy an album without listening to the whole thing first. I started to download music, not keep it, but to simply audition the entire album before spending money on it. This prevented me from buying a lot of albums that I would have otherwise hated. In my opinion, I think this is probably the biggest reason why the music industry began railing against piracy so hard in the first place. It's not that most people were unwilling to pay for music, it's that people got sick of buying bad music just for one good song. People were tired of being duped by the radio hit that didn't sound anything like the band's other music. Record companies couldn't dump their trash onto customers who had the ability to actually listen to the album first before buying.
    I've never stopped buying music that I like, primarily because I strongly believe in supporting great artists, and I can't count how many albums I've bought multiple times: the original disc got scratched or lost, so I bought another one; I wanted it in digital format and didn't feel like ripping, so I bought another one; I got interested in collecting vinyl, so I bought another one; etc. I will buy music multiple times over if it's THAT good. But I refuse to pay for an entire album blind, unless it's an artist that I'm intimately familiar with (and even that sometimes burns me, as for whatever reason I really did not enjoy KMFDM's "Tohuvabohu" although I give them a pass, because I love the band).
    At the end of the day, I was young and stupid and this song really isn't that good. I never should have bought that album. But I'm kinda glad I did, since it taught me a valuable lesson.

    • @DestinyKiller
      @DestinyKiller Год назад +1

      Your story is a bit like mine. I got my first CD player at 16 and the first two I bought was AC/DC Who Made Who and Lost Boys soundtrack.
      I hated tapes so much lol. I but music still as well for much the same reasons but sites like RUclips and such are a freaking godsend as is the ability to buy a single song rather than the whole CD. I actually ended up with 2 or CDs by Cold because I was looking for a song (that they didn't even do, it was a Tonic song lol). Luckily I ended up liking a lot of the music Cold did so it wasn't a complete waste.
      I was very confused when people started griping about paying a dollar for a song because CD singles were 5 for one, maybe two songs.
      I'm not an album listener (for the most part) so I live being able to look up songs I run across and listen to them a few times to decide on which I like enough to buy. I have 3 different playlists on RUclips.
      The first one is where I dump any song that I hear a bit of and think I might like. And I'll go through it every other month or so
      The second is where I move the ones that make the cut from the first list then I'll go through them to move any to the list of ones I'm for sure going to buy
      Sorry for the novel but I haven't run into many people that purchase music similar to how I do :)

    11:37 The reason Mel Brooks's work has survived and thrived despite the incredibly controversial content is not just because the overall work is brilliant and hilarious, but because it _has a point._ The takeaway from the scene in _Blazing Saddles_ with the old woman is not, "Wow, SJWs are ruining pop culture, we should be able to say this shit _now,"_ it's, "Wow, this old bitch sure is backwards thinking." I really shouldn't have to explain this, but _you aren't supposed to be empathizing with the characters saying the N-word._

    • @campbellsoup93
      @campbellsoup93 3 года назад +2

      That's the entire point of the line. Mel's movies are brilliant satires that use humor to force you to think about serious subjects. They presented racism as it was, not sugarcoated or lessened, but as real and in your face as the people who face it every day see it. They never glorified the racists or their ideologies. They mocked them relentlessly and made you laugh AT them and at how dumb they were. That's why they worked so well.
      But nowadays, because the political climate is edging further and further into mindless outrage you can't make a movie like without people calling for boycotts. People will hear that they say the n-word in the movie and instead of asking about the context of it, they jump straight to "this movie is racist! Cancel the director and the actors!"
      Hell, on HBO Max when streaming Blazing Saddles, the movie now comes with a freaking disclaimer at the beginning about the movie and how it's a satire and not actually racist.
      Mel Brooks HIMSELF has said that political correctness will lead to the death of comedy and that Blazing Saddles would not be greenlit today because of it.

      @@BeeKay5150 yep, 2001 for sure. My second concert later that same year was New Found Glory headlining on their own. At that show, the crowd bounced so hard during their set that that we literally began to break the venue's floor. Everyone was made to leave, and then after a while those that stuck around, including me, got to see the end of the show with NFG playing in the downstairs bar/lounge area. It was a pretty insane night.

    This song reminds me of those childhood Fridays going to Blockbuster to rent Splashdown for PS2 and the live-action Scooby Doo movie on VCR, then grabbing some Butterfinger BB's and a bottle of Surge on the way out the door. And that was basically the early 2000s in a single sentence.
    The only thing missing was a dude with frosted tips standing in front of the GAP next door, wearing 2 layers of pastel polo shirts, Oakleys, and a backwards visor while spouting some casual racism about Middle-Eastern people into his Nokia Brick and then making a gay joke and using the R-word in the same sentence when a girl takes affront to him calling her "babe".
