I need to know this, it's killing me. What is going on with the intro to Dogtown Shuffle? Some kind of chanting, repeated four or five times. It's really crazy, but all I can hear is Ona Mai Wa, which means 'name' in Japanese, or something like that. I can't get that outta my friggin head and I really really want to know what he's chanting. Please mofo's, there's gotta be someone here who knows, or at least has a theory.

I'm very proud of what was that band and what was that show and what it did mean to people. It disgusts me that it has turned into the complete opposite. That it now represents everything that I spoke against, that we suppoesedly represented the converse of. I don't want to have to remember that the team turned into that. Makes me question what the team was while I was a member. Was it all bullshit? If nothing else, it confirms in my mind that from my standpoint - yours truly, David Lee - not a fraction. If nothing else, this kind of morbid, wounded animal anger aimed my way has caused me to look deep into that bathroom mirror and come back to you with "my shit was legit." It was for real. And perhaps the test is time. Because here I am, a decade and a half later, haven't changed much. I look a little different, but not much. My sense of humour is about the same. -
I dont think he's saying anything simply a non lyrical chant. Get outa the house man -
He's chanting "get the gun, get the gun...shoot shoot shoot"

The penny drops. But ya never know, maybe it's something, but it's not REALLY driving me crazy. But if I say that it is...well it gives the post more urgency. Don't wanna join me and speculate???

OK I hear the word PENNY in there...lol
It also sounds like an imitation of one of those Austrailian instruments that looks like a big stick...forgot the name.

Damn strange, I just noticed your location...
That instrument is Aboriginal, called a Didgeridoo. It's a vocal on the song, but sounds similar to a Didgeridoo.
So perhaps the chant is Aboriginal?Comment

Now the lyrics...
Keep your eyes wide open, babe
If you decide to take the long walk
My city screams of danger
And you're on borrowed time
It comes from a jealous clock
And you're a permanent stranger
So the last of the wild frontier kings
Is held for further questioning
When nothing's left but death and taxes
The matter of the real fact is
You go through life as someone's doormat
Cause you don't get no sportin' chance
There ain't much distance 'tween a pat on the back
And a kick in the pants
You do the Dogtown Shuffle
Now do you talk the talk?
Yes I do!
I do the Dogtown Shuffle
But can you walk the walk?
Lemme see ya do it one time...
Some self-made guy gets it in the ass
At the local mini-mall
Looks more like a warning than an example
And late at night
They said he used to sleep the sleep of the just
I sleep the sleep of the just after
They said the wild boys go head to head
And like the good book says be quick or dead!
So ante up or let 'em go
Cause I'm filing charges on your soul
It's just a joke and you're the punchline
Yeah, the streets are a million laughs
And if I must, well in, God I trust
Everybody else gotta pay cash...
You do the Dogtown Shuffle
But can you talk the talk?
Let me hear ya!
You do the Dogtown Shuffle
But can you walk the walk?
Now purely off the record, man...
Yeah, I figured I was gonna go down
And get a little breakfast
At the local Taco Truck
Yeah, my guise could use some refinement
But I'm on a self improvement kick these days
So what the fuck?
Hey man, there was a line behind me
A line behind me...
Yeah they always try to nail ya
Mom, God, Pie the whole routine
Well here's a little trick that'll never fail ya
In your time of need
You do the Dogtown Shuffle
Yeah, can you talk the talk, baby?
You do the Dogtown Shuffle
Lemme see you walk the walk!
Walk it!
Are ya, are ya, are ya ready boots?
Start walkin'
Scuse me, but I'm new in town
I was wonderin' if I could get directions to your place?
There goes the neighborhood...Last edited by Big Fat Sammy; 02-03-2006, 02:29 AM.Comment

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!! You are a fucking genius!! Where'd you learn indonesian???? It's very believable indeed. It shines an even more mystic light on the song, and enhances the lyrics in my eyes even more. This is a truly underated song!!

There was an online translator website I used.....I just used what you said you were hearing, which was close enough for it to work!
My first guess was Indonesian because of the Didgeridoo (close enough) and Dave's fascination with the South Pacific and travels to New Guinea...and it turns out those are actual words!
The word "Nomad" comes from "Nomaden" I do believe...
....and "penyanggah" could mean "opposition" as well as "protester"Comment
