Review and Discussion of Cake's "Sheep Go to Heaven (Goats Go to Hell)" (719 hits)

First off, I love cake... especially chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. MMMM... frosting.

Anyway, while I love and cherish cake, I'm also a big fan of the band Cake. The only thing is, I have always wondered if their was any underlying meanings behind their songs. In particular, one song: Sheep Go to Heaven (Goats Go to Hell).

Now, there are several schools of thought here, but unless I actually sit and think about it, I can only come up with two.

Idea One:

Cake is saying that people who believe in God and follow the teaching of a church are sheep (they go to heaven), while people who prefer to think for themselves and do as they please are goats (they go to hell).

Idea Two:

Cake is just being silly. This is a very good possibility. Anyone who has listen to their albums knows how off the wall they are.

Now, I could sit here for hours and think about this, but I'm lazy. Therefore I'm posting this to get everyone else's ideas. If all goes well, I
won't have to do any real thinking whatsoever. That would be nice.

Anyway, enough talk, here are the lyrics to the song.


------------------------------------


I'm not feeling alright today; I'm not feeling that great.
I'm not catching on fire today; love has started to fade.
I'm not going to smile today; I'm not gonna laugh.
You're out living it up today, I've got dues to pay.

When the grave digger puts on the foreceps,
The stonemason does all the work.
The barber can give you a haircut.
The carpenter can take you out to lunch.

Now, I just want to play on my panpipes.
I just want to drink me some wine.
As soon as you're born, you start dying;
so you might as well have a good time.

Sheep go to Heaven; goats go to Hell.
Sheep go to Heaven; goats go to Hell.

I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip; I don't wanna feel the emptyness.
Old marquees with stupid band names... I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip.

I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip; I don't wanna feel the emptyness.
Old marquees with stupid band names... I don't wanna go to Sunset Strip.

And the grave digger puts on the foreceps,
The stonemason does all the work.
The barber can give you a haircut.
The carpenter can take you out to lunch.

Now, I just want to play on my panpipes.
I just want to drink me some wine.
As soon as you're born, you start dying;
so you might as well have a good time.

Ahh now... Sheep go to Heaven; goats go to Hell.
Sheep go to Heaven; goats go to Hell.

If you watch the video it becomes clearer that sheep are people who follow others mindlessly. While they are idiots and vapid, they live happier lives etc. etc.

Prolonging the Magic is the only Cake album I have and I haven't listened to it in years, but that was one of my favorite songs on the album.

Maybe they're saying women go to heaven and men go to hell.

ok, i found it, its matthew 25:33,
http://bible.gospelcom.net/cgi-bin/bible?language=english&passage=matthew+25%3A33&version=KJV

25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats:

25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Left means going to hell

Right means going to heaven.

in the bible somewhere i think when it is talking about judgement day, there is a passage where god says, something to the effect of, "sheep to my right, and the goats to my left" left being associated with hell, as all things left were, like left handed people, i'll look the passage up.

"The land where large fuzzy dice still hang proudly, like testicles, from rearview mirrors."

That's a great song there.

Anyway, while I appreciate your reply, what I want are new ideas. Things I haven't thought of before are what I'm looking for here.

thanks

Fence-riding position: I think it's both options. If pressed, I'd say more likely option 2: silliness on the part of Cake ("Race-Car Ya-Yas" anyone?).


Oh, well, of course, everything looks bad if you remember it.
