Paranoid

Miles' Song
Too fat to Frug,
That's what you tell me all the time,
When you really try'n' to put me down,
But I'm hip,
So close your big fat lip,
Yeah, baby,
I may be too fat to frug,
But at least I ain't too slim to swim.

Oedipa: "Its lovely, but why do you sing with an English accent when you don't talk that way?"

Miles: It's this group I'm in, the paranoids. We're new yet. Our manager says we should sing like that. We watch English movies a lot, for the accent."

Oedipa: "My husband is a disk jockey, it's only a thousand-watt station, but if you had anything like a tape I could give it to him to plug."

Miles: "In return for what? Do you want what I think you want? This is the Payola Kid here, you know."..... "Oh, You hate me too"

Oedipa: "You ARE paranoid"

Miles: "I have a smooth young body, I thought you older chicks went for that."

My Response

I did not understand the song at first, but after reading it several times, I realised its a little perverted. The conversation between the two people is very interesting. Usually you expect it to be the other way around (Young lady with Elder Man instead of other). What I want to know is why he thought she wanted to go sexual with him. My favorite line in this conversation was , "you ARE paranoid." That line just completes the conversation for me, and its so funny and ironic because his band IS called Paranoid. He should not become famous if he is going to be paranoid. To many stalkers when your famous.
