King Kong Song
Terror 2000 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's how my daily life starts
On the highway, 'til it's payday
I have a meeting with the boss
He has a wicked leg, he has a wicked leg
He likes to kick me in the ass 'til it turns red
I hate my job, I hate it all
I wanna be a million dollar fucking rock star
-Won't you get me a gig before I die?
[Chorus:]
Will write you a song song
Just as heavy as King Kong
While I'm smoking my bong bong
I wanna be a hunk with a metal guitar
'cause people tell me I could go pretty far
I need some kicks as I'm Kerry King licks
And get the chicks by the bar
Now it's lunchtime, cut the barbwire
I'm going to the deli and get myself a wrap
Life is crazy, this job makes me
A suicidal freak feeling like crap
Why!?
-Won't you get me a gig before I die?
I will write you a song song
'cause I know how to pling plong
Just like playing the ping pong
[Chorus]
I'll be getting the chi... Chicks by the bar
I'll be showing my tri... Tricks on guitar
They'll be blowing me bli... Blind in my car
I'll be throwing the sui... Suit on the yard
I'll be hitting my bo... Boss really hard
I'll be getting a bo... Bodyguard
Eat my breakfast, drop the kids off
That's how my daily life starts
On the highway, 'til it's payday
I have a meeting with the boss
Why!?
-Won't you give me a gig before I die?
I will force you to sing sing
I will give you a ring ring
And you give me some bling bling
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Terror 2000's song King Kong Song tell the story of a person stuck in a job they despise, dreaming of becoming a rock star. The daily routine of this individual revolves around trivial tasks such as eating breakfast and driving to work until payday comes around, and it's time for a meeting with their boss who likes to continually kick them in the butt. The repetitive nature of the job pushes the person to the brink of a breakdown, and they contemplate suicide. They seek a way out, and their dream of becoming a rock star seems like the perfect solution. They want to be a hunk with a metal guitar, attracting girls and playing some Kerry King guitar licks. The song's chorus is an offer to write a song as heavy as King Kong while smoking their bong.
The lyrics playfully contrast the monotony of daily life with the excitement and glamour of rock music. The song gradually builds up to an energetic climax, with the singer finally achieving their dream and getting everything they want: the chicks, the guitar tricks, and even the bling. The song, therefore, depicts the frustration of being buried in a mundane job, a longing for fame, and an escape from reality. It is a relatable sentiment for many who may feel trapped in a job they do not enjoy and seek to attain stardom like their favorite rock stars.
