Serial Bomber

"Serial Bomber" is a song off the album Elefante Elegante Interesante Importante by Every Ape and His Brother. On Wednesday, September 10th of 2008 around 4:30 PM EDT, the song was uploaded to the official Every Ape MySpace page.

Overview
The grim messages of the song are contrasted with the light-hearted feel of the music, as the lyrics are set to the tune of "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood.

Instead of a jealous woman, a morally confused man sets out to find unfaithful women and force them to meet an explosive demise, reveling in how his crimes grow increasingly violent.

Cultural references

 * The Serial Bomber is also revealed to be a skilled sniper, with movies such as Phone Booth having inspired his persona.


 * The basement dynamite trap is a tipped hat to Jigsaw's death traps in the Saw movie franchise.


 * The green T-shirt line is a reference to the "Stoplight System" at some bars, in which women who wear green T-shirts are single and women who wear red T-shirts are "taken." Yellow signifies a complicated or open relationship.  Women who have their men on the cell phone while wearing a green T-shirt at a bar are usually painstakingly obvious as cheaters.  This was reinforced by the Dozerfleet founder discovering this to be true at the River Rock bar of Big Rapids, MI in September of 2006.
