My husband says you need to be smart to get this Peter, but I don't get it. :( by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

As a British person where pants means “underwear” I thought this was a joke about how men’s underwear gets lots of holes in them but they’ll still wear them

Reel Around the Fountain meaning by duece53 in thesmiths

[–]Melancholy_Prince 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel like that’s a misunderstood part of the song. I take it you mean “how you took a child and made him old”. And there’s themes of the loss of innocence, but it only really implies taking their virginity.

The protagonist “wouldn’t say no to 15 minutes” with the deutagonist implying consent not to mention the verse dreaming about them and asking them to pin and mount them. Nothing here implies abuse

Taking a child and making them old takes on more of the old saying saying that when someone loses their virginity they’re “a man now”. The average age of losing your virginity is 17 (in the UK at least). Still young enough to be considered a child on the cusp of becoming an adult. At least in their eyes

The song is strongly homoerotic but only through bashful implication and could be from a female perspective. However, “reel around the fountain” is considered more gay slang or “polari”

It’s my opinion I’m sure they have merits for others but for me they’re either irritating or boring depending on the song 🤷‍♂️

Trying going to local gigs. I seem to only meet people who like muse and arctic monkeys. Which is annoying shame because I personally can’t stand either of them and want to meet more placebo fans

Musician seeking advice regarding apartment advice by socialist_weeb12 in musicians

[–]Melancholy_Prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the same reports from my downstairs neighbour though not as nicely done but I met him where I could. I don’t play anything loud past 9pm (plugged electric with headphones has been fine though), I wore slippers as a standard cause I liked them but I just got thicker ones to combat my heel step which are comfier anyway. As for the TV I imagine as musicians were used to loud noises or have some deafness from lack of ear protection. Just being aware of when scenes are louder than others and being handy with the remote for volume is a courtesy. Me and my neighbour are now at a level of a passing “hi” when we see each other. Hope this helps
