There were bikinis and buns, there were weenies So, I just got to thinking about another verse and decided to research it. The Brave Little Toaster just got pumped up several more notches in awesomeness. This is the most impressed I've been in a long time. So, um, help me with this one, and the previous one as well if you think my father's interpretation is wrong.
I'm guessing there's more significance to this since he recalls this knowing it's the last thing he'll ever be able to say before dying, and everyone else's verses are significant revelations or events. I don't really get much from that and never put too much thought into it after first reading the lyrics online to figure out what he was actually saying. The singing car seems to be recalling taking children either from or to a poverty-stricken Native American "ghetto" where a Hopi said "You're worthless", followed by the children going back home without him. The reservation one I'm still trying to figure out. That seems to fit given the nihilistic theme of the song. I recited it to my father once he got home and gave him the context, and after thinking for a bit, he said he interpreted it as that, as a marriage is generally a social event in which everyone is very close together, the man observed how miserable/annoying people are after being together for a while (or he just became miserable/annoyed) and just wanted to go back home. I spent around half an hour or so getting really frustrated that I couldn't make any sense from the wedding verse.
From the context, I feel the two cars who sang the above lyrics were doing the same, but in a more cryptic manner than most. Most of the cars seem to be singing reminiscences of bleak events and discoveries they've made as sort of a catharsis before their deaths. While listening to the film's soundtrack today, I realized that I still didn't fully understand some of the lyrics in the song "Worthless".
