| The Cure – Cut Here Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
|
I think it refers to English people in a more general sense, such as the stereotype of them keeping a "stiff upper lip". By being dry and English slow the narrator shows restraint instead of being open to the person he meets, which he regrets in retrospect (judging by the following lyrics). |

An 80s classic, when it has the line "I'm looking for the good time" repeatedly sung it's not difficult to make any assumptions about the meaning of this song. |

It's not about having sympathy for irresponsibility, it's about equal rights. Any person's undeniable right to a decent life shouldn't be hindered by any factors, whether they're societal or some other factors. |

| Deee-Lite – Groove Is In The Heart Lyrics
| 16 years ago

Here's the rap (after "Just de-lovely and delicious/I couldn't ask for another"):
Someone’s in this torso (yeah)
Hot! Got a deal you wanna know (wanna know)
De-liteful truly de-liteful (-liteful)
Makin’ it doin’ it 'specially at a show (show)
Feeling kinda high like a Hendrix haze (haze)
Music makes motion moves like a maze (maze)
All inside of me (side)
Heart especially (yeah)
Help of the rhythm where I wanna be (c’mon)
Flowin’ glowin’ with electric eyes (ha)
You dip to the dive baby you’ll realize (yeah)
Baby you’ll see the funky side of me
Baby you’ll see that rhythm is the key (hmm!)
Get get ready with it (with it)
Can’t can’t quit it (quit it)
Stomp on the street when I hear a funk beat (beat)
Playing Pied Piper
Follow what’s true
Baby just sing about the groove (sing it) |

| Caesars – Jerk It Out Lyrics

While it appears to be about masturbation on one level, I feel that it's about your attitude towards life and how to act when you encounter problems.
I see the lyrics "I bite off anything I can chew" as being the key to this interpretation. |

The lyrics are kind of corny, but it doesn't change the fact that this is a great song, in my opinion. There's nothing wrong with being honest about how you feel. |

| The Decemberists – The Mariner's Revenge Song Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
Do you think the narrator may have been crazy even before starting his journey?
He may have imagined much of what has happened, making him an unreliable narrator. Did the mother have any serious ill will against the man who left her, or was the blame put on him by her son?
Maybe the death of the narrator's father was a very difficult time, and he never accepted the other man. |

I believe a lot of people have mentioned this, but the way I see it, it's about going after something more than what you already have. What is it you're chasing? |

Like a lot of people have mentioned already, this wasn't the type of lyrics I was expecting from such an upbeat song. And yeah, it's about violence, whether it's gang violence or in schools. |

| Cake – Sheep Go To Heaven Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
I agree with the person who said that many parts of this song is on a personal level - though that person expressed it in another way. The main focus of this song is about someone's who's depressed.
In an effort to feel better, the protagonist tries to be something other than a follower (sheep) and instead go with what is right on an intuative level ("I just want..."). |

| The Amps – Pacer Lyrics

|
I couldn't make out large parts of this song, especially "you spat in my eye" and "hike to hike". Even while looking at these lyrics, I still don't know what the song is about. On a literal level I guess it's about riding around and the people that pass you by. |

| Cake – Short Skirt/Long Jacket Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
If a long jacket means a long history of crime, that might work together with the theory of this song being about economics.
The girl could represent corruption. For this theory to work, however, you would have to accept that very few elements of this song should be taken literally. |

| Tool – Rosetta Stoned Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
This track begins with "Alrighty then", which was a repeated line in the Ace Ventura movies. This makes me believe this song might be a comment on Jim Carrey as an actor, or on his career in general. Jim is a noted fan of heavy/death metal.
Just like the protagonist in this song, Carrey never finished high school. The song alludes to the possible existence of aliens, and mr. Carrey played an alien in Earth Girls Are Easy. "You believe me don't you?/Please believe what I just said" is probably a reference to Liar Liar. Many Tool songs are thought to carry comments on religion, and Jim played the main character in Bruce Almighty. Last year Jim portrayed a character called Dick, and Tool have a song called Maynard's Dick.
As a way of thanking Tool for writing a song about him, Jim Carrey have now signed up for a film called The Number 23 - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0481369/ |

| Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs – Wooly Bully Lyrics
| 18 years ago

"Let's not be L-seven" means something like let's not be square (i.e. lame) - as L7 together almost looks like a square.
Apparently it's a slang phrase from the 50s, which is often mistaken for being a reference to the sexual position which is called 69. |

While Michael Jackson was a guest voice in the episode (Stark Raving Dad, season 3), he didn't provide the singing voice. Kipp Lennon sung Michael's part in this song, and has worked on a few other songs in the Simpsons as well. |
