Apparently it's a bit of a nonsense song lyrically.

Also a good question.

'Sock it to me' is a recognisable phrase( i.e. 'give it to me'), it's the 'biscuit' that has always puzzled me. i don't quite get that reference.

Are we sure that is the correct lyric? I know it's printed on the cover of War 12", but it still sounds like "showing us good times" to me.

unless im mistaken the term biscuit can also be linked as a nickname to ronald reagan at some point i believe, but let me check out 1 other avenue on this.....

I heard many years ago that the use of "Biscuits" was in reference to a nickname for Ronnie Reagan aswell ...

Also, we had this topic a wee while back and there was a range of stuff that came under the name of sock it to me ... like cakes etc etc .. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

The Gold Codes are the nuclear launch codes that are provided to the President of the United States of America, as well as the Vice President, in his role as a member of the National Command Authority. Prepared and changed daily by the National Security Agency, the code sequence is printed on a plastic card, nicknamed "the biscuit", which is similar to a credit card, that the President carries on his person.
