Overall Meaning

The song "Bandwagon" by Garlic Bread is an anthem for all the underground artists who have experienced people trying to copy them and ride their success. The song warns these copycats not to try and jump on the bandwagon, pretending to be a true fan, and stealing their sound and dollar bills. The chorus reinforces this message by repeatedly saying that the copycats will be jumping on the bandwagon, but the artist knows who his true fans are and doesn't need people just using him for his fame. The first verse accuses the copycat of messaging the artist just to get a beat and stealing his sound. The artist reminds the copycat that he has worked hard to make his music and warns him not to try to ride his coattails.


In the second verse, the artist describes how the copycat keeps bothering him and asking when he is going to make a whack song for him. The artist refuses, saying that he doesn't need another "TC" or "Sii-Siiren," which might be references to other underground artists who have experienced similar problems with copycats. The artist tells the copycat that using him is a form of abuse, and it's like the copycat wants to get mad because the artist has his crew already.


Overall, "Bandwagon" is a powerful message for all the upcoming artists working hard to create unique sounds and not wanting to be copied by opportunistic copycats. The song defines true fans and warns copycats to stay in their lane and create their original works.

I have one of these and I am still confused on the dual baskets. I wish someone would do a complete video and not super fast like this guy and really break it down for those of us who are having a learning curve on how to use this thing. I would also like a video showing how to use the dual as one with that hump in the middle, example how are you doing your steaks, meatloafs? Thanks
