Arrogant Worms making fun of Morrissey???

[Charity]

Okay maybe this is an old topic, but is the song "Carrot Juice Is Murder" directly poking fun at the Smiths' "Meat Is Murder". Here's the lyrics and tell me what you think. I for one think it's just making fun of vegetarians period.

Listen up brothers and sisters, come hear my desperate tale
I speak of our friends of nature, trapped in the dirt like a jail
Vegetables live in oppresion, served on our tables each night
The killing of veggies is madness, I say we take up the fight
Salads are only for murderers, cole slaw's a fascist regime

Don't think that they don't have feelings, just cuz a radish can't scream
CHORUS

I've heard the screams of the vegetables (scream screamscream)
Watching their skins being peeled (Having their insidesrevealed)
Grated and steamed with no mercy (burning off calories)
How do you think that feels (bet it hurts really bad)
Carrot Juice constitutes murder (and that's a real crime)
Greenhouses prisons for slaves (let my vegetables grow)
It's time to stop all this gardening (it's as dirty as hell)

Let's call a spade a spade (is a spade is a spade...)
I saw a man eating celery, so I beta him black and blue
If he ever touches a sprout again, I'll bite him clean in two
I'm a political prisoner trapped in a windowless cage
Cuz I stopped the slaughter of turnips by killing five men in arage
I told the judge when he sentenced me, this is my finest hour
I'd kill those farmers again just to save one more cauliflower

CHORUS

How low as people do we dare to stoop
Making young broccoli's bleed in the soup

Untie your beans, uncage your tomatoes, let potted plants free

Don't mash that potatoI've heard the screams of the vegetables (scream scream
scream)
Watching their skins being peeled (fates in the stir fry aresealed)
Grated and steamed with no mercy (you fat gourmet slob)
How do you think that feels (leave them out in the fields)
Carrot Juice constitutes murder (V8's genocide)
Greenhouses prisons for slaves (yes your compost's a grave)
It's time to stop all this gardening (take up macramé_)
Let's call a spade a spade (is a spade is a spade...)
Power to the peas
Give peas a chance
All we are saying is give peas a chance

I sort of like the Arrogant Worms (don't go into science - you'll end up dead!). I especially like their name, since it applies to a lot of evil arrogant people. The guys who wrote the song probably just tacked on a Smithsesque title because they wanted something catchy and sort of funny. The song itself doesn't really seem to resemble MISM.

Oh, no I love the worms myself. I was just curious what other people thought. I thought it would be fun to see the reaction!

As a vegetarian I find it an expected, if uncreative, response to the smiths..........

I didn't say that they were making fun of him... I was just asking for the fun of it. I just thought the song sorta resembled meat is murder. The Arrogant worms are a great band, they make fun of everything, so there's no harm intended...

Now that was REALLY creative!
