Reasons For Names Of Songs

Brick Tamland(LoveRevenG) · Trick Member Joined: 21 Apr 2005 Location: NC

I was thinking about some songs in ITG and wondering what they mean. Or if they have any other purpose. Such as:

- Bouff
- Xuxa
- Lemmings on the run

If anyone knows things about these, post them. Or if you have more odd song names and are wondering what they mean, post them.

Lemming is a slang or foreign term for punk/troublemaker

a "bouffe" is a type of opera with some spoken dialogue

- Xuxa (prounounced Shoe-sha) is the name of the song because the inspiration for the song is KeeL's rubber ducky whos name is, natch, Xuxa. The duck was probably named that way after a 90s hispanic singer called Xuxa (also prounounced Shoe-sha). The singer absolutely sucks so don't try to find her songs.

- Lemmings on the Run is obviously the chorus of the song but the reason for that name is that there is an animal called a lemming which apparently is very dumb and is said to jump off cliffs (however that has been proven wrong, I think). 'Lemmings' is also a slang for people that follow other blindly, and apparently Lemmings on the Run are either A) those people that follow others blindly as described in the lyrics or B) the people that oppose those people I described in A). I think the correct explanation is A) but that's just me.

- I don't know why the name Bouff was chosen. I CAN however tell you that it is prounounced like the word 'booth'.

Anubis is the god of embalming. He's an Egyptian god which sort of explains the tribal feel to the song. Zodiac is quite similar. In the background of the song there's swirls, if I recall correctly. Your zodiac sign comes from astrological figures in the night sky. If I remember, Egyptians were very in to the night sky, etc.

This doesn't have to do with lemmings per se, but since we are on the subject of strange herd behavior:
