The song "What's The Big Deal?" by Guttermouth is a satirical and humorous commentary on hunting culture and the glorification of violence. It portrays a group of friends getting ready for a three-day weekend filled with hunting and beer drinking. The lyrics depict the excitement and thrill of hunting, with references to using various weapons such as crossbows and shotguns to target and kill animals like deer and ducks. The narrator expresses awe at the size of a buck's antlers and celebrates successful shots. The lyrics also mention making use of the animal's hides for love seats and keychains made from rabbit feet. The song also touches upon trading jerky to indigenous people and wearing a hat made from goon skin, reflecting stereotypical misrepresentations of Native American culture. There's a mention of using homemade crisco made from animal fat, highlighting the resourcefulness and culinary experimentation associated with hunting. However, the song also contains elements of absurdity and exaggeration. The narrator expresses a desire to see a flock of geese fly by and hopes to shoot more than four of them. They fantasize about starting a forest fire to force animals towards their guns, and even joke about their wallet smelling like meat. Overall, "What's The Big Deal?" mocks the macho and violent aspects of hunting, and the lyrics playfully highlight the excessive and questionable behavior often associated with the sport.
