Darwin Deez- Bad day Lyrics, Song Meaning and Annotation

I hope that the last the page of your 800-page novel is missing
- Here I will have pages being turned with text to introduce the song, artist and producer (me) followed by a ripped out "800th" page at the end.
And I hope that it rains if you leave the window down on your red Mustang
-
This will be a small toy car being dropped in a tank of water or i will use a watering can over the car to give the image of "rain" from the other side of a window.


'Cause everyday ought to be a bad day for you- T shirts used on different people in time with the lyrics.

And if you drop your keys I hope there's a sewer somewhere very nearby
- Oversized keys dropped on street, kicked away towards a drain.
I hope that your team lost, I hope your new girl takes off with a new guy.- Lego men in a line being flicked away, Girl toy and boy toy stop motioned for girl to walk off to a new toy.

'Cause everyday ought to be a bad day for you
- T shirts in time with lyrics.

And I would like to be your girlfriend so I could dump you
- Two people with heart t shirts, boys heart splits in two, girl walks away.
And I would like to be your garbage man so I would never have to pick up your trash again
-
Recycle sign t shirt, tipping garbage can over floor.
Maybe you should wonder why your apartment is always so empty
- Point of view shot running through an empty house.
Well I hope you get locked out of that apartment and have to call Jenny
- Someone locked out, Sad face shirt, oversized phone, girl with GUT t shirt slams phone down.
Ohhh!
- OH t shirt, point and laugh.

'Cause everyday ought to be a bad day for you

- T shirts in time to lyrics

But I'm sorry if it ever is

- Calender flicking through months with sad faces on everyday.

This song is about someone Darwin Deez strongly dislikes, there is no known reason why this is in the lyrics and it the lyrics dont really appear to have any deeper meaning. It is purely a song about all the bad things he would like to happen to this person, But also by saying "Im sorry if it ever is" means that this person was perhaps a good friend once. I chose this song mainly becuase of the fact that the lyrics are easy to match to imagery and action.
