Onto the song. You know the one. That Jackson 5-esque number, the one with the chirpy girl and the raspy guy. They put some rap in it. Yeah, that's right. Two rap breakdowns: same beat, different vibe. Don't worry, the rest of the song was the same, a direct translation from album to club. But think about it.

...senseless whoopass, the corporate oppressor gets his well-deserved comeuppance only after a violent "brawl"-even soap is not the innocuous cleansing agent you might think it is. Fight Club makes it very clear what the effects of yuppie angst are on the rest of the world: men beat each other up for fun, blocks of skyscrapers explode in quick succession, and innocent people...
