comparison could be that they're both wearing top hats and suits, in which case you could use that logic to say ANYONE who wears a tophat and suit is imitating Uncle Sam; it's too broad a comparison to make and it sounds ridiculous, as if saying "THE SONG IS ABOUT SPREADING HERPES!" and proceeding to justify that claim through a series of obscure, broad, and downright speculative claims that are nonsensical to most.
476:
Sam in the video ("I want you" and the hat), but I'd really like to know how you come to the idea that he imitates Saddam? But he really is dressed differently in the video, and what that could mean is really interesting. Any ideas? In the interpretaion it should be said that the song isn't about Iraq war only. It's more about the empty walls (haha) people have in their minds and that we are "educated" to have.

I forgot where I read it, but I read somewhere that the true content of the song may be about the
Armenian Genocide, citing the lines "dying of anticipation"---the Armenians knew the Kurdish death squads under the Ottomans were after them; "choking from intoxication"---many Armenians were poisoned;
475:
The current description is not bad, but I propose to write a small interpretation of the song. We'd be able to differ between description and interpretation better, all meaning of the video would be under interpretation. Maybe I'll do that in the next few days. I think too that Serj imitates Uncle
612:
That whole comparison of Serj
Tankian looking like Uncle Sam I think is purely opinionated, because it's far too broad a comparison... for one, Serj not only looks nothing like Uncle Sam, but makes no active or subtle attempt to look like him, be it with the facial hair or the outfit. The only
651:
Its just speculation, due to the fact that he is
Armenian. The true meaning is the War in Iraq, which would be quit clear if you have seen the music video, since the video contains scenes of children doing the 9/11 attack and pulling down Suddam's (A teddy bear in the video) statue.
633:"I loved you yesterday before you killed my family"---that the Armenians were likely as loyal subjects to the Ottomans as any group of people under Ottoman rule, until the 1800s and so on when the calls for greater freedoms started causing issues with the Ottomans.

I object to this page's deletion. It is confirmed to be a single on
October 15th. Although it has not been released, it has atleast been confirmed. And that should give it some notability, enough to keep the page atleast.

There should probably be a section about the song itself, as referring to lyrics. For example, what topical issues the song is likely about. Its message, symbolism, etc.

I think the video description has to be shortened a bit, and that it should be broken into smaller paragraphs so it doesn't seem like a block of words.

I don't think that Serj is going for an Uncle Sam look, but a classical
Orwellian description of a Fat Cat Capitalist. Just a thought -WFleming

I think the sign actually says "Yes, We're Open" rather than "Yes We Can Obama." I can clearly make out an apostrophe at 3:36.

Does anyone else think that while Serj is wearing the white clothing he could be being Osama Bin Laden to contrast Uncle Sam? --
