Song That Kings of Leon Song Is About Syphilis
Posted by Megan Seling on Fri, Jan 2, 2009 at 11:31 AM
Exhibit A
"Sex On Fire" lyric: "Hot as a fever, rattling bones/I could just taste it, taste it."
Symptom of Syphilis: A fever up to 101 F and sore throat.
Exhibit B
"Sex On Fire" lyric: "Soft lips are open, knuckles are pale/Feels like you're dying, you're dying."
Symptom of Syphilis: A vague feeling of weakness or discomfort throughout the body and weight loss.
Exhibit C
"Sex On Fire" lyric: "Lay where you're laying, don't make a sound/I know they're watching, they're watching."
Symptom of Syphilis: An attack on the nervous system which can lead to vision or hearing problems, paralysis, and irregular (different-sized) pupils.
Exhibit D
See?
There's no way those Nashville boys intended that song to just be about anticipating good lovin'. No. Way.
