K... I keep hearing this song, I'm gonna assume the title is "The Greatest Button to Button".....

And yes. the chorus is something like I've got the greatest button to button, or something like that.

Does anyone know what that is supposed to mean?

My mind being in the gutter, I'm assuming it means something sexual... but I just thought I'd see if anyone else had any ideas on what that phrase/song might mean.

The title is 'hardest button to button' and I think it's about someone who's just hard to deal with, they're like the hardest button to button..

<center>The Hardest Button To Button

We started living in an old house
My ma gave birth and we were checking it out
It was a baby boy
So we bought him a toy
It was a ray gun
And it was 1981
We named him Baby
He had a toothache
He started crying
It sounded like an earthquake
It didnt last long
Because I stopped it
I grabbed a rag doll
And stuck some little pins in it
Now were a family
And were alright now
We got money and a little place
To fight now
We dont know you
And we dont owe you
But if you see us around
I got something else to show you
Well its easy when you dont know better
You think its sleazy?
Then put it in a short letter
We keep warm
But theres just something wrong when you
Just feel like youre the hardest button
To button
I had opinions
That didnt matter
I had a brain
That felt like pancake batter
I got a backyard
With nothing in it
Except a stick
A dog
And a box with something in it</center>

Not exactly sure what the songs supposed to mean...some sounds like a song about his family and the rest sounds like just random thoughts scattered here and there.

Asta!!

hardest button to button

Button: Noun - That round thing you find on your shirt to help keep it closed so all the perverts don't get a free look at my, your, our ample cleavage.

Button: Verb - "To Button" is to button something closed, like the shirt.

Hardest Button to Button = A button that, for some reason, just can't be buttoned easily. Possibly the button is to large for the eyelet, or it is just broken.

and yes, that was the UberCool literal version of it

I always pictured it as a Man starting a family to spite the people who live near him.

But then again, I place stories on every song I hear.

I loved the video. It was done by the same guy who did almost all of their other videos and did most of Bjork's. I can't remember his name, but I believe he has a DVD coming out soon.
