Mucky Pup began as a hardcore band formed in Bergenfield, New Jersey in 1985, when brothers John (drums) and Chris (vocals) Milnes joined up with Dan Nastasi (guitar) and former Hades member, Scott LePage (bass). The band went through various incarnations and several musical style changes while gaining minor success in both the USA and Europe. Arguably, their breakthrough moment occurred when Berke Breathed picked their songwriting contest entry for release with a 1987 Bloom County comic strip compilation. However, their European success, based on strong tours and charting for the 1989 A Boy in a Man's World album, surpassed all recognition achieved in their home country

Batman
Mucky Pup Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought you were smart, you bought a whore.
Then came Batman through the door.
Instead of f*ckin that stupid slut,
You got 8 inches up your butt.
Batman!
Thought you were smart, you bought a whore.
Then came Batman through the door.
Instead of f*ckin that stupid slut,

You got 8 stitches up your butt.

Batman! Batman the Buttripper, use your butt like a can-opener,
Batman the Buttripper, use your butt like a can-opener, man.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mucky Pup's "Batman" are explicit and tell a story of a man who thought he was smart enough to buy a prostitute, but was caught by Batman. Instead of being able to have sex with the prostitute he paid for, Batman enters the scene and an unfortunate turn of events results in the man receiving 8 inches (or 8 stitches depending on the version) up his butt. The song also introduces the character of "Batman the Buttripper" who uses his butt like a can-opener.

The lyrics can be interpreted in many ways, but one interpretation could be that the song is criticizing the use of prostitution and promoting abstinence from sex outside of marriage. The use of a superhero like Batman, who is often seen as an heroic figure, might serve to further emphasize the point that casual sex is not acceptable. The use of harsh language and explicit content might also be an attempt to shock listeners into considering this message.
