D is for doodie.

Mindy gave me D, so here are 10 songs that I like that start with the letter D, PLUS COMMENTARY OMGZ.

1.) Decatur, Or a Round of Applause For Your Stepmother! by Sufjan Stevens. Easily my favorite song on Illinois, and the Sufjan song that got me into him in the first place. I also love the double tracked vocals on it, how one part goes high while

Since you like the song as well, maybe you can tell me what "I am un chien andulusia" is supposed to mean from Debaser. All I know from french is that it means "I am a dog _______." Lol.

Un Chien Andalou is an art film from the 1930's, and most of the song is refrencing it. The "slicin' up eyeballs" line specifically is about a really famous scene where they show a person getting their eyeball sliced in half.

I'm not sure why it's pronounced wrong in the song though. I read about it somewhere, but I can't remember if there was a reason for it.

Hmm, I always vaguely wondered about that line, too. I heard the word as "Andalusia", as in the ancient city in Spain. Not that that sheds any light on the line.

Hey, want to give me a letter? I'm bored.

I grant you the letter J, for Jew.
