I always assumed that "Heavy Up" was quite obviously inspired by that mother of all assholes, Donald Trump. Just like "Don't Crash the Ambulance" was quite obviously about Bush Sr. and Jr., or like "El Macho" was obviously about Jerry Springer. Which doesn't mean that everything fits - it doesn't. But that's the freedom of art: You take something out of the newspaper, but then enrich it, change it, transform it and make it something that's more universally true. A "character" that doesn't exist as such, but is constantly being reborn in various human beings. I know plenty of people who should "heavy up", even in my own life. 

Oh, and I like "Heavy Up" a lot.

El Macho is quite a weird song lyrically and for me it isn't obvious that it's about Springer. Possible, but maybe not.

Don't Crash The Ambulance is very stupid, did MK not notice two terms of Clinton?!

Why stupid? If this is a conversation between father and son it makes sense.

It suggests Sr showing Jr round the White House which obviously wouldn't happen.

Between Bush Snr and Bush Jnr I have always assumed.

Between Bush Snr and Bush Jnr I have always assumed.

Yes but Snr would not be showing Jnr round the White House, his desk, the nuclear buttons etc. He had moved out 8 years earlier.

Yes, I didn't realise that.   I wonder who it could have been about?

Don't crush the ambulance is about the Bush...

Junior ask Senior to go with him to the white house, as he knows it, to show him where all things are.

Yes exactly. But musically I could never understand it. Because for me it has a more French (harmonica) atmosphere than Texas

Got his cojones on my desk in there
Made into a souvenir
Set of cufflinks, nice pair
The rest of him's someplace up here

If Bush Sr is visiting Jr at Jrs invitation, why does St have a desk at the White House with souvenirs?!

Sorry, I like the song but the concept is stupid. (IMO)

Well Junior is dumb, so he needed the assistance of daddy who knows the job, and the desk!

The chorus doesn’t make sense either, “I’m handing over to you”, how can you hand over a job you got kicked out of 8 years earlier?

Honestly, MK should really just stay away from “funny” songs, he’s no Randy Newman!

[jbaent]

He's handing over to him because Junior is dumb and Daddy knows he need assistance.

That's what I always understood from the song. mk usually doesn't stick to the reality but creates an image, a situation

I agree with the funny songs. They are nice when you listen the first time, but they loose it very soon.

[Robson]

"mk usually doesn't stick to the reality but creates an image, a situation"

Exactly!

This song is not funny to me. It is full of sarcasm and irony.
