thedeadweather.com The Official Video for “I Cut Like A Buffalo” by The Dead Weather!
Trackback
this song came out in… what year?
thanks!
i cant think of any right now without listening to a whole bunch of songs, but come on man if you cant tell that this song is about sex then you need to get out more.
i already know what it means its not that complex, if you think this is a song about killing or death then the song went way over your head.
its a club song
Look up the lyrics to the Ludacris song “freaky thangs” or any ludacris song and listen how many times he says “cut up” then maybe youll get it.
good luck
@90sRockWhore my question to you is in what blues song does it say that. seriously. when their talking about getting “cut up” it means getting cut up. just what it says. cause they had to sneak out the back door, or jump out the window cause her man is walking in the door. its about getting killed. cut like a buffalo as in killed like the buffalo were back in the day. you really need to listen to the words and how he sings it to get the meaning.
whatever man, you know youre wrong and now you want to justify your mistake.
you thought you were right about something but you werent, and then you try to make it a civil rights thing, its a fuckin video about a song, and i was talking to someone else about it, so dont get high and mughty ans act like youre saving the day
just let it go, i forgot about this shit anyway.
So since you’re black you can be completely politically incorrect? Silly guy.
Also, before you pretend you’re all high and mighty and right about the song, how about you listen to the intro again. he says “Cut like a buffalo, you know what that means right? It means you’re dead”
Im positive this song isn’t just about sex just because there is one use of the word.
hmm im not gonna be naive and say he hasnt touched drugs but he doesnt strike me as the cocaine addict type.
probably just constantly working, not sleeping or eating… or lets hope anyway
its all the cocaine use, lets just hope he dont OD
the expalnation i gave is the right one.
dont you guys remember that jack is really into old blues songs?
a lot of those old guys would sing about getiin “cut up”, just means getting laid.. plus i think we all know that buffalos are huge mammals that could knock the life out a human being if it were to ram you. . thats all the song is about.
lookin good and gettin laid.
i dont know how anybody didnt get it the first time, but whatever.
i am black smart guy.
sometimes you should just mind your business.
lol wow black people language. You sure are politically correct.
Interesting reading the convos- and to think I didnt think there was any hidden kinky meanings to it but its all good-a cool yet freaky number- dinky keyboards and interesting film technique whatever it is called etc.:o
patterns
in the dead weather
…cut like a buffalo
ba ba ba ba
i think i know what it means-
some one is calling him a girl, and
hes saying that he is “cut like a buffalo”, meaning he is thick-skinned&/or tough,
and the tough skin also has a link to the drug remark (the needle through his skin)
meaning he sees a girl he wants, but he’s too tough to take her in, like a drug… that’s just what i think, i could be completely wrong. but it looks like this song is open for discussion until jack gives us some more info
Jack Whites only hipster moment….
cut in black people language, means “fuck”
you usually hear a lot of southern rappers say “cut up”
just means getting some pussy.
basically he looks as pretty as a woman, but he fucks hard like a buffalo, then after sex, well you get tired and fall over like a domino
and the choking part is where he has his dick in your throat.
its just a song about fucking.
1968 still has its hooks in our society
and im not complaining
im sooo in love wiv this video, even tho i dont know its meaning…love the ginger dancers!
Can anyone try to tel me the basic meaning of this song? THanks
BONNAROO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, can’t wait!!
this video is a big WTF, but it’s one of my favorites from the dead weather and jack white looks so fucking sexy (as always)
brilliant!!!!
He could sing for an Activia commercial and I’d be impressed. Something about his voice and style just strikes a chord in me. I love that he collaborates so much.
