Starting out as a hip-hop producer at the age of 13, Dapperton made the switch to his current sound after a serious hospitalisation and the failure of his laptop.
Pairing infectious, nostalgia-laden tunes with high-concept filmclips, lauded for their high-concept cinematic execution, has proven to be a recipe for success. Blowing up through 2017, with two EPs dropped, and fans and the press alike taking notice, Dapperton's future looks bright.
Prune
Gus Dapperton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, it takes me many miles to make them out
Ooh, and strawberry sits superbly with you
Go on and lick me, love, I'm jelly in my shoes, ooh
And I would tread upon flowerbeds to
Stare and stop
A hominid twas blossoming fromSoot and sod
Oh, prune
Ha ha ha ha ha
Eating all my food
Well you're like the bum
Who begged and pegged me up all wrong
I've got no two cents, no sense at all
Well you're like the bum
Who begged and pegged me up all wrong
I've got no two cents, no sense at all
I like the way you decorate your neck
It takes me just a sec to break a sweat
And russet rims portray that of a goon
You go and test me, love, like sipping from a spoon, ooh
And I would tread upon flowerbeds to
Stare and stop
A hominid twas blossoming from
Soot and sod
Oh, prune
Ha ha ha ha ha
Eating all my food
Well you're like the bum
I've got no two cents, no sense at all
Well you're like the bum
Who begged and pegged me up all wrong
I've got no two cents, no sense at all
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha
Ooh
The lyrics of Gus Dapperton's song "Prune You Talk Funny" are abstract and poetic, likely inspired by surrealism and Beat poetry. In the opening lines, the singer expresses their admiration for the way someone speaks and how it takes effort to understand what they are saying. The mention of strawberry as a perfect match could be a metaphor for the singer's attraction to this person. The line "go on and lick me, love, I'm jelly in my shoes" is a playful and flirtatious way of saying that the singer is vulnerable and easily affected by this person.
The following lines are more obscure and less straightforward. The repetition of "I would tread upon flowerbeds to stare and stop" is a surreal image that could imply the singer's obsession with this person. The phrase "hominid twas blossoming from soot and sod" could represent growth and humanity overcoming adversity. The repeated "prune" is likely a play on words, referring both to the act of trimming a plant and the outdated insult. The lines "eating all my food" and "you're like the bum who begged and pegged me up all wrong, I've got no two cents, no sense at all" express frustration with this person's behavior, which is contrasted with the admiration of their persona from earlier.
Overall, "Prune You Talk Funny" is a vivid and quirky song that combines elements of indie pop and surrealism to create a unique listening experience.
