Okay, I'll start since I actually know the answer.

At the beginning of the song "I'm Okay", what does

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Eight, Skate, Seven on the Rotate! mean?

I thought it was sit on it and rotate.

We know what that means

I dunno what it meant....but it was another one of those unnecessary little
( and to me slightly annoying ) additions to some of their songs....like the YES...NO! bit in Borrowed Time

I feel like these songs stood up well enough on the basis of the Music and lyrics alone, and didnt need these ( cute ? ) little additions to them, that they actuallt detracted from the music, made them more "kiddie friendly"

I wonder if things like this contributed to the lack of respect they got from the critics ?

( Classic steps off his soapbox........)

Let's just put this one to rest.

The beginning of "I'm Okay" is a dice rolling call.

We all know the album "Pieces of Eight" is about money, fame, addictions and the gambles people make in life to achieve it.

That was a natural beginning to that song in the context of that album.

Note: I am a fan of all those little additions, asides, etc. to some of those songs. But that is just me.

Bugsy

We all know the album "Pieces of Eight" is about money, fame, addictions and the gambles people make in life to achieve it.

And don't forget that "Lady Luck" plays a part in all of that....

"Luck Is A Lady Whose Smile Is As Cold As A Stone"....

DeeJay.....

"Turn of the card, she's there....."

Definitely thematic.
