About This Track
The song title refers to an event that took place on May 19, 2004. Two members of Fathers 4 Justice, Guy Harrison and Ron Davis, threw two condoms filled with purple-dyed flour into the chamber of the House of Commons, one of which hit Prime Minister Tony Blair. Lyrically the song discusses the point of view of fathers’ rights pressure groups.

I recently featured them in my blog, www.coachellafestival.tumblr.com. Every day my blog features one artist playing at the upcoming Coachella festival. Here I've created an information and media center that aggregates basic artist information, third party reviews, music, and music videos conveniently in one place. It also allows you to listen to music playlists grouped by genre and artist. Happy listening!

It's spelled "dumbfound", and it's used to convey complete, utter astonishment, usually accompanied by confusion and shock. For instance, "millions of Americans were dumbfounded by Bush's 2004 reelection."
