It's an effect, a prerecorded thing that even Guy used in one song of his (go to 3.11):

Does anyone know why the victim in this song would give the narrator "arthritis"?

I could see why arthritis would be something Mark is concerned with, but in the context of this story (which I still don't fully understand, anyway), it seems to make zero sense. I'm sure it does, though - I just don't get it.

a) because it rhymes with like this" ?
b) because he is overusing his hands and fingers to get the best possible profit out of the poor "sucker"
He's even grown claws to be able to hold on to his victim more tightly. A dangerous, greedy creature!

Beware the jabberwock, my son, the jaws that bite, the jaws that catch.
Beware the jubjub bird and shun the frumious bandersnatch.

Yeah, he’s got his claws into the sucker so much he’s getting arthritis.

Makes sense. And serves as a welcome reminder to re-read Lewis Carrol's poem and Michael Palin's film!

What poem and what film? Why is everything mysterious in this thread?   

[Love Expresso]

Google Jabberwocky.

Yes, I suspect it is a take on Dr. Sauci and Billy Hates in their Covihoax experimental shots agenda. Do I deny the people got ill from a (Spanish-flu-origin?) virus? Do the scavengers take advantage of it?
What do you think?

Here is what ChatGpt says about this song. First it was referring to Scavenger's Yard by Radiohead 

 "Scavenger's Yard" by Radiohead is a song with dark, cryptic lyrics that reflect themes of isolation, decay, and survival. While the band hasn't provided a clear explanation, the song evokes imagery of a desolate place where remnants of broken things are gathered, symbolizing perhaps a personal or societal collapse. The "scavenger" figure could represent someone picking through the wreckage, trying to find meaning or sustenance in a world that's falling apart. The song's haunting tone adds to the feeling of desolation and existential reflection."

Then I asked him to pay attention to the song of the same name by Mark Knopfler, here is its reply:

Ah, I see! You were referring to "Scavenger's Yard" by Mark Knopfler. This song is from his 2012 album Privateering. It tells a vivid story of a man reflecting on his tough life, set against the backdrop of a scrapyard or scavenger's yard. The lyrics touch on themes of hardship, survival, and working-class struggle, with Knopfler's signature storytelling style.

In the song, the protagonist is dealing with the consequences of a hard, worn-out life, perhaps lamenting lost opportunities or broken dreams. The scavenger's yard serves as a metaphor for a life of salvaging whatever is left after difficult times. Knopfler’s evocative guitar work and gravelly vocals add depth to the song's melancholy and reflective mood.

LoL!

First one, albeit by accident because it is the wrong song, is about accurate!

[Robson]

Privateering?
