Overall Meaning

The lyrics to JFA's song Do The Hannigan may seem nonsensical and provocative at first blush, but they actually represent a scathing critique of the toxic masculinity and racial prejudice that pervades American society. In the song, the singer encourages the listener to embrace violence, substance abuse, and bigotry as a means of asserting their dominance over others. By repeatedly commanding the listener to "get a Mexican" or "get a whip," the singer is implying that these groups are somehow inferior and can be used as disposable tools for the listener's personal gratification. Similarly, the refrain to "get stupid" and "get pissed" suggests that rational thought and emotional maturity are unnecessary hindrances to achieving one's goals, which likely involve inflicting harm on others.


But far from simply glorifying malevolent behavior, the lyricist of Do The Hannigan is actually exposing and condemning it. By intentionally pushing the envelope of what is socially acceptable to say in a song, JFA is forcing the listener to confront the ugly truths about prejudice and violence that are often hidden beneath the surface of polite company. The lyrics are deliberately provocative precisely because they are meant to provoke a reaction - to make the listener uncomfortable and to challenge them to re-examine their own assumptions and biases.
