Big Boy Now: a theory
« on: February 06, 2010, 10:04:54 PM »
could the lyrics to Big Boy Now be based off the Francis Ford Coppola film "You're A Big Boy Now" that was released back in 1966?

I don't know Jeremy.
I just thought it was Richard's perspective of growing up and dealing with what life throws at you? But you could be right?

Fee Waybill wrote the lyrics, but it's definitely a coming of age song.

I have never seen the Francis Ford Copola film, but I have always thought it was a coming of age song too! :)

One of my favorites too as you can tell by my user name. I never saw that movie but I will have to check it out.  I don't get what you mean a "coming of age" move when the boy never reaches beyond a young age.  Maybe I 'm interpreting what you're saying wrong.

I think you're thinking of Boy Next Door (your user name referring to the line "so much for case 1239").  They are talking about Big Boy Now from the Rush Street album.


Ohhh..........I was even confused there.  I kept looking at your user name Heidi trying to understand the link to Big Boy Now!  Makes sense now..........
