Some of the "meanings" put forward for Bring On The Dancing Horses are hilarious!

Something tells me this is from a BOF member

Okay, if anyone actually bothered to read about the band themselves, they would have easily discovered that this song - well, the title at least- is from a Russian saying that means when everything is going to complete shit, you need to bring out that last little trick from up your sleeve. SOMEONE PLEASE DO SOME RESEARCH??
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Is this true? This is the first time I've heard this.

Would someone please do some research? :wink:

Didn't Mac say that BOTDH was referring to his feelings about the state of the Bunnymen at the time?

Sites like this one are what give English classes a bad name. Whatever comes to mind is offered as an interpretation and the teachers gushes, "Oh lovely!!! A+"
