Reply To: The rest of the story: what happens after the lyrics end in Creepy Doll?
For one, I love Creepy Doll. I find it great, with just the right level of "ooh… creeeeeeepy…" and humour. Personally, I'd agree with point number 2.
A nice snap back to reality is the way, in JoCo's words, the doll eventually becomes more annoying than creepy. I mean, demonic manifestation of pure evil it may be, but even demonic manifestations don't take THAT much honey in their tea. Right?
Seriously, though, I think the entire doll thing is – at least would be in a song from someone other than Jonathan, who has a refreshingly funny and weird outlook on life – symbolic of the "victim"'s deteriorating mind. I mean, how weird do you have to be to go out and buy a creepy old house on the top of a hill in a small town in the woods?
By the way, I think the fireplace is next to "your bag of big city money". The money isn't actually IN the fireplace. Not that it matters, because once you're being burned alive AND possessed by the spirit of a demonic children's toy, I think you're beyond caring where your money is.
