| Devo – Here To Go Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
Who the aych cares what this song's about. It is one of the greatest meaningless songs of all time. Mssrs. Mothersbaugh and Casale, musical geniuses you both are, I do not wish to suggest 'meaningless' equates to 'worthless.' Quite the contrary. Some songs I don't want to have to think about, figure out, or interpret. I simply want to put my headphones on, turn the volume all the way up, rest my head back, close my eyes and simply enjoy. To marvel at the synthesized wizardry mashed with infectious pop. An extended-version mix you wish never ended. The fact that there have been ZERO comments for a song that is nearly 35 years old is either perfectly poetic or tragically sad. And yet maybe it's because Here To Go is a song from another dimension not even released yet and like the group that sings still, after all these years, way ahead of their time...and timeless at the same time. (Oh, but if you insist, I'm guessing the song lyrics have something to do with the fact that we are men, and women, of action, all born to not merely exist but to get shit done. We are here to GO GO GO G-G-G-GOOO!) I effing love this song. |

| The B-52's – Roam Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
warmPhase is dead on. Nice work. It should come as no surprise that the B-52's were a very sexually oriented band, but always done in a way that was subtle enough to slip past the censors but speak directly to those with a welcoming ear. The band has a history of lyrics with double entendre'd sexual innuendo. I love the song Roam, and not just for its incredible beat, exceptional vocals, and catchy tune. What is meant to seem like an innocent song about vacations is actually a very dirty one about stretching one's erotic permissiveness to the outer boundaries. I picked up on it the very first time I heard and had to smile thinking how many clueless Moms and Dads there are with teeny bopper kids bopping to it! Actually, one of the main lines in the song "around the world" is not that all that subliminal to those that know the naughty meaning to that phrase. For fear of being censored here, let's just say it involves the mouth of one partner and EVERY part of the nether regions of the other partner. The fact that it is cute and "makes you happy" when you hear it is testimony to the B-52's view that sex IS fun and the ultimate trip and adventure. |
