Daniel Johnston - I’ll Do Anything But Break Dance For Ya, Darling
Thanks to tumblr, I just checked out the Wikipedia article on carny slang, and found out that “donniker” is carny slang for a toilet. In this song Daniel Johnston says:
I just stepped out of the donniker, I don’t know where I am and I can’t remember
And now that line makes so much more sense because Daniel Johnston was a carny, and was also once beaten unconscious after stepping out of a port-a-potty.
So, I just wanted to say thank you to Tumblr for teaching me new things, and also to Daniel Johnston for being incredible.
