"... Daddy? What does regret mean?"
"Well, son, a funny thing about regret is: it's better to regret something you have done, than to regret something you haven't done. Oh by the way, if you see your mom this weekend, would you be sure and tell her... SATAN SATAN SATAN"
"Satan" by Orbital. The 30 something years later mix is an absolute banger.

- munificent 3y agoWhenever my kids are debating whether or not to do something, I use exactly that line on them. I usually stop after the first sentence, but sometimes it's hard not to do the whole thing and leave them completely confused.
- beefman 3y agoThat part's sampled from the Butthole Surfers track Sweat Loaf (from their Locust Abortion Technician album).
- hayst4ck 3y ago> Oh by the way, if you see your mom this weekend, would you be sure and tell her... SATAN SATAN SATAN" Is there meaning here? I feel like there is something to get that I don't get.

- bowsamic 3y agoSongs can have meanings
- dkjaudyeqooe 3y agoThis song doesn't have an 'official' meaning, stated by the artist. Even when songs do they aren't that important and it's the meaning the listener gives the song (or the other way around) that's actually meaningful. Or in other words: only the listener's experience of the song is meaningful. That's what I meant.
- zem 3y agodad is divorced and implying his marriage was something he regretted because his wife was the devil
- tetha 3y agoMy dummy interpretation: Mom will be upset by her kid chanting SATAN. If mom is upset, dad is going to regret it. But it will be funny, so it might be worth it. Fits perfectly into a question/lesson about regret.
- bmacho 3y agoSounds like a joke the SMBC-comic guy would make! - kid asks something - he explains - then he uses kid to annoy wife Although I am not sure whether this is the actual joke, this is a niche type of humor
