I know this is kind of a stupid question but Im just curious & wondering if anyone can shed some light on this for me...........I dont believe they play Bagpipes at funerals in Baghdad & what is Em insinuating cuz Im sure its supposed to implicate a metaphor for the song

my take was it was a random song with no meaning i.e, bagpipes from bagdad doesnt fit as bagpipes are from scotland
if you ever mix me up
Or confuse me with a Canibus or Dre with a Dupri
Will rub it in, every club your in, we'll have you

That's the way I took it. Basically saying he was insane and saying things that are crazy/don't make sense like saying bagpipes from baghdad.

Even if you were just average on the outside (but not fat) I could like you if you sounded smart.

Ironically, there's no bagpipes at all in that song. The instrument playing is called a pungi. Those are what snake charmers play to charm the snake.
He could have called it "Kazoos from Kazakhstan" for all it matters.
