What a Day Day
FOG Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See them today, and say "Hey!" "Hey", then say, and you go on your way-
It's great to be the people that they saw yesterday!
Hey! Oh, hey!
The ex-boyfriends are cowering inside the SA
When Hitler marches down Lyndale like the Champs-Elysses
"What-a-Day" Day!
If you need me call my lawyer...
I'm going where the stoplights turn green for ya...
I declare today to be "What-a-Day" Day!
"What-a-Day" Day! "What-a-Day" Day!
"Hall-o Sheriff!" "Hell-o Mayor!"
Later Rinse Repeat...
The lyrics to Fog's song "What a Day Day" are a celebration of the joys of everyday life. The first verse focuses on the pleasure of seeing familiar faces and exchanging pleasantries. The second verse takes a surreal turn, referencing the cowering ex-boyfriends and the hypothetical scenario of Hitler marching down Lyndale Avenue. These lines are perhaps meant to contrast with the mundane pleasures of the first verse, drawing attention to the strangeness and unpredictability of the world we inhabit. The third verse contains a playful invitation to get into legal trouble, followed by a declaration that today is "What-a-Day" Day. The final lines of the song, "Hall-o Sheriff!" and "Hell-o Mayor!" suggest a sense of community and camaraderie, as if the listener is part of a larger group that is sharing in the celebration of this special day.
Overall, the lyrics to "What a Day Day" seem to celebrate the beauty and absurdity of everyday life. The song encourages listeners to appreciate the small moments of connection that make life worth living, while also acknowledging the larger forces that shape our experiences. Whether we are greeting our neighbors on the street or pondering the prospect of a fascist takeover, there is always something to marvel at and enjoy in this world.

This song is amazing! I love how it just shifts from a very busy pop song into this melancholy instrumental piece, perhaps demonstrating how contrived and meainingless short social interactions are: we should just be lost in the fog

@blood blood Live Performance Recording is all-round great. There's a strong argument to be made that each track is the definitive version of the song in question.
blood blood
you should hear the live version if you havent already, its on "live performance recording" - its really cool to hear how he utilized the band for this song, its even more amazing live in the killer mid instrumental section.

Calling something pretentious is, in it self, pretentious. And criticizing someone is a sign of insecurity.
