This is the last of the 3 grande finale songs on the Corky Death Album. Oh, holy gosh, I cain't believe I've already reached the end. I'm a little sad because this has been an ongoing project for almost a year now.
In any event, this song's sung from the point of view of Corky, Mogie, and Verdell. They're all happy that Rudy (who's in the picture, driving the SUV) threw the paint on old George at Rushmore, made him look like he was crying, and as such, succeeded in making a sign for Corky's mom that Corky's okay in the afterlife. (Cuz it'll remind her of a picture of George Washington crying that Corky drew when he was a kid).
The three dudes in Heaven are all happy now, and they start singing about how they're in a place where cats sing, and people can drink as much booze and smoke as much pot as they want, without any repercussions, cuz it's Heaven, after all. There's a re-statement of the theme of the very first song on the album, which ties everything together, maybe.
I think I'll post the album, in its entirety next week, so stay tuned. You'll get to see what the order of songs is, and all that.
For anyone new to this blog, the album I'm discussing is based on the movie, Skins. (Spoiler Alert)... It follows this character, Corky Red Tail, into the afterlife cuz he gets murdered in the beginning of the movie. Then he's joined by Mogie and Verdell, who both die of alcoholism in one way or another. The three of them work together to try to get a message to Corky's mom that he's okay in the afterlife. The most likeliest candidate to do that is Rudy, Mogie's brother, because all three of them knew Rudy when they were alive, so they're all connected to him in one way or another.
