Downloading Porn With Davo
The Moldy Peaches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sucking dick for ecstasy
Paid a 70 year old hooker to make out with me
Now the get-high shack is just a memory
Downloading porn with Davo
Downloading porn with Davo
Put a latch on the door so Mama don't know
Tried to buy your love but I came up short
So I f**ked a little waitress in exchange for a snort
My girl's got a dick hanging out of her shorts
Me and Eric in the bathroom with the weather report
Downloading porn with Davo
Downloading porn with Davo
Put a latch on the door so Mama don't know
That I'm downloading porn with Davo
Oh baby I know you love the good old days
Cruising on the Long Island expressway
I used to be dead but now I'm gay
All I ever think about is drowning, drowning
Downloading porn with Davo
Downloading porn with Davo
Put a latch on the door so Mama don't know
That I'm downloading porn with Davo
The Moldy Peaches's song "Downloading Porn With Davo" is a satirical and provocative depiction of a hedonistic and promiscuous lifestyle. The first verse describes sleeping in a van and engaging in sexual activities in exchange for drugs, as the singer paid a 70-year-old hooker to make out with him. The second verse portrays their attempts to buy love or escape their miserable reality through drugs and sex; the singer admits to exchanging sex for drugs with a waitress and being interested in transgender partners.
The chorus, "Downloading porn with Davo," repeats throughout the song, serving as a catchy and humorous phrase that highlights the absurdity of their lifestyle. The band seems to take a lighthearted approach to these topics, which are often considered taboo in mainstream society. The last verse of the song reveals the singer's suicidal ideation, as all he thinks about is "drowning, drowning."
Overall, "Downloading Porn With Davo" is a song that tackles themes of addiction, sexual promiscuity, and mental health issues. The Moldy Peaches use dark humor and satire to comment on these issues, making a statement about society's tendency to glorify harmful behaviors and focus on materialistic desires.
