However, I also think the main chorus (singing children) is about African child soldiers in Darfur (or however it's said) who were driven to poverty. I like the song. Pretty deep. interpretation | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/3/08 I think that the song is about the war. The children's chorus Is singing about the growing terrorism threat. The rapper is rapping both about the decline of society and the idiocy of president bush. That's how I see it. Dirty Harry isn't some social commentary... | Reviewer: bfw27@email.vccs.edu | 12/4/07 Their first hit single was Clint Eastwood. Dirty Harry was what they named it, thinking it would likely be their next. The lyrics may have some symbolic meaning, but the title is little more than a fun fact for buyers of the first album. The album in general | Reviewer: Brad | 11/18/07 The album in general can be inturpeted many ways back wards and forwards track order. Common back wards meaning: A progression in the war in Iraq, spreading all other globe. People in the streets are suffering famine. The need for guns is of the charts. The earth is in disrepair. whilst children are even brain washed for war, few people people offer resistance. Then finaly the transition of complete controll is made. Forwards, dying in a war zone. and jumps to socio-economical effects of war. Children in Iraq arm up for protection, as an american laments over the war, and remembers simpler days. war becomes and expansionist movement. Attacking free thought and all emotions making us human. Then the fall of soceity. after which, some lament over the fall. and awaite new hope in the comming november. The war makes one last stand in a village, then the mountain called monkey ended all of life. Then the it turns out the whole cd was chronicaling of dreams. foreshadwoing hard ships in a war torn world soon to come. Thats are two of the main ones. I don't know where people get those. I can kinda, but not so much, see a connection to songs, but again not so much. It's not like it's coheed and Cambria, given that it would be a bit more organized if it were meant in the same story type formatt. Dirty Harry | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/27/07 While I can see why this song interpreted as what soldiers in Iraq go through, it can also very easily be seen as growing up in the street. My neighborhood is a war zone. People die trying to live. Thats why we carry guns. "At night I hear the shots scream so im a lite sleeper" This song is also about how people judge people in the hood. Opportunities are taken from us. " Seems like everybodys out to test ya Till they see you break You conceal the hate that consumes" Judgment fills me with desperation and hate, but I must hide my hate to advance. All I want to do is dance, return to my old ways, but I know I must carry on. This song is obviously about soldiers in Iraq, but on second thought, it is about the very neighbor hood I, and others like me, come from. '...cause all i do is dance.' | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/12/07 i think the song is random rhyming words... your sposed to feel the rhythm... it can mean whatever you want it to mean. thats its beauty. US soliders | Reviewer: nolamellen | 9/30/07 Wow, I may have never made the connection of this song to US soldiers and kids in a war zone - thanks for the insight. I now respect the gorillaz genius even more. Interpretation | Reviewer: Quick Chris | 7/16/07 Really, there is no literal translation to any particular group, other than soldiers. The rapper says, "remember when we used to dance?" It is about the sacrifice of youth, while everyone consumes. The soldiers "over there" are the same as over here. It isn't just america but everybody. No one wants to fight they just want to live. But the rapper is talking to the consumer, who else would buy the CD? the title... | Reviewer: Siema | 7/5/07 The title is called Dirty Harry after a film which stars Clint Eastwood. The film portrays a lot of violence and guns and is similar to the song because the supposedly 'good guy' the policeman, will tackle the dirtiest of cases even if it violates people's rights. In the same way, Bush feels he can do the same. It's a mash up | Reviewer: Kyler | 6/8/07 The idea of the song, in my own personal view, is that the kids' part is supposed to be the children who live in Darfur, Iraq, whatever. The rap part is the soldier, obviously, and he is rapping about having to do all these things and ffeels terrible about it, or "dirty." Hence the title.
