Funny Little Man
Aphex Twin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would like to fuck you up the bunghole,
and then I will sneak into your room and cut your cock off and chew it up with my little pearlies.
The lyrics to Aphex Twin's "Funny Little Man" are disturbing and provocative. The opening line, "Come on little funny man, come on, come on!" is directed at the titular "funny little man," who is unnamed but is presumably the target of the singer's aggression. The second line, "I would like to fuck you up the bunghole," is sexually explicit and threatening. The use of the word "bunghole" is crude and vulgar, and the violent undertones of the phrase suggest that the singer is unstable and dangerous.
The third line, "and then I will sneak into your room and cut your cock off," is even more disturbing. The violent imagery of someone sneaking into another person's room and cutting off their genitals is shocking and grotesque. The fact that the singer mentions "chewing" on the severed organ adds an extra layer of horror to the scene. It's not clear why the singer wants to harm the funny little man, but the lyrics suggest that the singer is deeply disturbed and possibly suffering from some kind of psychological illness.
Overall, the lyrics to "Funny Little Man" are unsettling and disturbing. They paint a picture of a violent, unstable narrator who is fixated on harming someone who is smaller and weaker than them. The sexual and violent imagery in the lyrics suggests that the singer is dealing with some kind of repressed trauma or desires, and that their violent fantasies are a way of coping with these feelings.

When my dad showed this to me as a kid, my overstimulation from sugar (and I have autism) went off the fucking walls. I looked like a psycho bunny jumping around the room screaming "Little funny man!" over and over again. But the words at the end were only comprehendable now, and I die each time lmfao. 🤣

Back in '05 I needed to make a Flash animation for a uni project, so I thought about putting this track along to a Jimmy Savile animation of weirdness. This is Savile's theme tune, wouldn't you agree. Especially now.

It sounds like Jar Jar Binks is going insane or something.
