songmeanings.net: timewaster of DOOM (and some wank besides)
Songmeanings.net is a lyrics db/board where users can post about their interpretations of their favourite songs. Much fun is to be had by, for instance, reading completely wrongheaded interpretations of Elvis Costello's "I Want You" (which, I confess, annoyed me so much that I contributed a somewhat wanky comment of my own; le sigh). The site loads murderously slowly, but it's worth the wait. Kiss your productivity goodbye, though.

However, this is otf_wank, and so here is wank. A teeny smidge of it, but amusing nonetheless.

In a thread on the Decemberists' song "We Both Go Down Together", Imposs1ble writes:

This song is supposed to be a prequel to "Leslie Anne Levine" which increases its greatness.

fadetoflashes responds:

This is not a prequel to Leslie Anne Levine. That song was about, in short, an aborted child whose ghost still haunts the general vicinity of her death. She is in love with the ghost of a chimney sweep, who most certainly would not come from "wealth and beauty". This is about star crossed lovers who commit suicide together. Snap.

Imposs1ble replies:

You are so very insightful, who would have thought "Leslie Anne Levine" was about a ghost? Leslie died but she did have parents that PREceded her, who may or may not have been in love and created a child...

During a live recording Colin states that it truly is a prequel to the aforementioned "Leslie Anne Levine." Do your research. Oh, snap.

And fadetoflashes responds:

Imposs1ble,
Leslie's mother died in childbirth. With that in mind, it would be pretty hard for her to die once more with this wealthy lover. You're probably lying about hearing Colin say that, but if not, this is not a well thought out prequel. It doesn't even make any thematic connections to Leslie Anne Levine, not to mention the aforementioned contradiction as to when Leslie's mother died. I don't need to do research when I am fully capable of reading the lyrics without help. Square.

And it all goes on from there, in various directions.

All in all, songmeanings seems to be a fairly rich wank mine, if you're patient enough to dig around a bit. Enjoy!
