The lyrics to Eddie Money’s hit single “Two Tickets to Paradise” are a very thinly-veiled allusion to his secret life as a would-be suicide bomber. Yes, Eddie was in ISLAMIC JIHAD!! It is all clearly spelled out below.
Got a surprise especially for you,
Something that both of us have always wanted to do.
We’ve waited so long, waited so long.
We’ve waited so long, waited so long.I’m gonna take you on a trip so far from here,
I’ve got two tickets in my pocket, now baby, we’re gonna disappear.
We’ve waited so long, waited so long.
We’ve waited so long, waited so long.I’ve got two tickets to paradise,
Won’t you pack your bags, we’ll leave tonight,
I’ve got two tickets to paradise,
I’ve got two tickets to paradise.I’m gonna take you on a trip so far from here,
I’ve got two tickets in my pocket, now baby, we’re gonna disappear. (You know why?)
We’ve waited so long, waited so long.
We’ve waited so long, waited so long.
“We’ve waited so long.” Like sixty years or so? “We’re gonna disappear.” I.e., be blown to smithereens. “Pack your bags.” OF EXPLOSIVES! “Two tickets to Paradise.” The proverbial land of milk and honey and virgins and/or fig trees!!?
Additionally, it’s a well-known fact that Jokey Smurf was also a dangerous terrorist — laughing coldly at his victims after he gave them their gift-wrapped death packages.
Am I the only one who’s noticed this???
you rock.
never did pick up the subtext to ‘two tickets to paradise’.
i wonder how many other sleeper seventies and eighties
rockers there are, just waiting to strike?
I edited slightly to “extrapolate” on my “theories.”
This theory was cooked up a few months ago over dinner with Brian, when the song came on in the restaurant and I was feeling especially hyperactive.
Note: Do not have fits of laughter while eating.
maybe the terrorists want you
to have fits of laughter while eating.
all part of the plan.
