Hi,

In a Red Hot Chili Peppers song ("Storm in a Teacup") I came across this phrase: "you are walking like a sour kraut". What exactly does this mean? Here are the lyrics:

Come on come on baby
Let me show you what I'm talking about
You try to be a lady
But your walkin' like a sour kraut
Looka looka lika lika
Like you want to get some
If you never tell a lie
Then you never have to play dumb

Thanks a lot,
Torsten

I think it just means she's walking awkwardly, and they needed a rhyme for 'about'. If you're listening to a lot of RHCPs, then you might want to bookmark THIS.

Hi Charles,

Many thanks for that link -- that's exactly what I was looking for! By the way, what kind of music do you enjoy listening to?

To be honest, whatever comes my way, though I don't go looking for it. Friends give me the CDs they made or CDs they think I 'ought to' listen to.

I just walked over and grabbed some CDs I replay. In no order whatsoever:

Gone Phishin', a Bluegrass Tribute to Phish; Two Rooms, Celebrating the Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin; The Blues came from Texas! (various artists); James Taylor / Greatest Hits; The Threepenny Opera, Original Cast Album; Hearts on the Street, Oliver Cobb.

If those tell you anything about my personality, please let me know.
