Lemon Demon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I was just a boy,
Summer afternoons
Would fill me up with joy.
I'd sit right down,
Turn on the TV.
Every day
I remember
Laughing like a buffoon
When I'd watch him
On Nick in the Afternoon.
He was my favorite thing
About Nick,
Yes that little
Popsicle, Stick Stickly!
(Ooh-ooh-ooh!)
And he'd sing,
"Write to me,
Stick Stickly!
P.O. Box 963
New York City,
New York State,
10108!
10108!"
It's been years now,
Since his show has aired.
We sent a letter, it got
Returned, and now we're scared.
Where'd he go?
What did they do with him
When they decided they were
Through with him?
Did they break him,
Or burn him down for heat?
Were his googley eyes
Thrown out in the street?
Or is he fine?
That's what I'm praying.
I recall he was always saying,
"Simmer down, simmer down, simmer down!"
And he'd sing,
"Write to me,
Stick Stickly!
P.O. Box 963
New York City,
New York State,
10108!
10108!
10108!
10108!"
The lyrics of Lemon Demon's "Stick Stickly" evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing for a simpler time. The song begins with the singer reminiscing about his childhood summers and how he would eagerly turn on the television to watch his favorite show. The catchy melody and upbeat rhythm serve to reinforce the cheerful memories of carefree days spent laughing and playing.
The song then shifts to the singer's concern and confusion over Stick Stickly's unexpected disappearance. He wonders what could have happened to his beloved popsicle and imagines various scenarios, from Stickly being broken or burned to his googley eyes being thrown out in the street. The fact that the singer's letter to Stickly was returned only adds to his distress and anxiety.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Stick Stickly's fate, the singer remains hopeful and continues to urge others to write to the popsicle at his old P.O. Box. The repeated refrain of "10108!" reinforces the idea that Stickly is still out there somewhere, waiting for his fans to reach out to him.
Overall, "Stick Stickly" is a fun, catchy song that plays with the naivety and innocence of childhood, suggesting that no matter how old we get or how much the world changes, we can still hold on to the things that once brought us joy.
