Song Meanings Explained

What is a Pro Fighter Q? What does a Pro Fighter Q do? Are there any Pro Fighter Q socks? Is anybody listening to me?

Billy Madison references aside, some people that listened to Millencolin's classic tune "Bullion" have pondered the lyrics near the end of the song where Nikola Sarcevic refers to something called a Pro Fighter Q.

To put it simply, Super Pro Fighter Q was a knockoff device that could be used to "backup" Nintendo  cartridge games back in the 90s. I had actually never even heard of these until doing research for the song lyrics, but maybe the following video can explain how a similar device works.

So why does Nikola Sarcevic make a reference to the device? Probably because it rhymes with "you." At least, that's my best guess.

He's going through a list of things he plans to change and he's conveying the message that he's changing everything. Even things that are close and dear to him.

If Nikolai's time has been dominated by music (compact discs), skateboarding (stale fish), & video games (Nintendo), then it only makes sense that these would also be the things that he changes; dancing instead of passively listening, ditching the skate shoes for something different, and putting away the video games.  

Not that music, skateboards, and video games are bad things that need to be done away with entirely. All of them are healthy hobbies within reason, but anything can be unhealthy when it consumes too much of one's life. Sometimes it's good to try something different to come out of a funk.
