Wehell I see them every night in tight blue jeans
In the pages of a Blue Boy magazine
Hey I've been thinking of a new sensation
I'm picking up good vibration
Ooh she bop, she bop

Do I want to go out with a lion's roar
Huh, yea, I want to go south and get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop or I'll go blind
Ooh she bop, she bop

She bop he bop and we bop
I bop you bop and they bop
Be bop be bop a lu bop
I hope he will understand
She bop he bop and we bop
I bop you bop and they bop
Be bop be bop a lu she bop
Ohh ohh she do she bop

Hey, hey they say I better get a chaperon
Because I can't stop messin' with the danger zone
Hey, I won't worry, and I won't fret
Ain't no law against it yet, oh she bop, she bop

She bop he bop and we bop
I bop you bop and they bop
Be bop be bop a lu bop
I hope he will understand
She bop he bop and we bop
I bop you bop and they bop
Be bop be bop a lu she bop
Ohh ohh she do she bop

She bop he bop and we bop
I bop you bop and they bop
Be bop be bop a lu bop
I hope he will understand
She bop he bop and we bop
I bop you bop and they bop
Be bop be bop a lu she bop
Ohh ohh she did it she bop
Ohh ohh she dif it she bop

    I'm not sure what happened to this thread, but I wish there was a mod on this site to get rid of both of you, and delete your comments.

    This is a great song. I recently heard my very conservative and religious sister-in-law singing this to her 18 month old daughter. The daughter was smiling and giggling and enjoying every minute of it.

    The best part was explaining to my sis-in-law and my mother-in-law what this song was about.

    masturbation, jerking off, wanking off, taking matters into your own hands.

    every verse illustrates it more or less ...

    I was in a store once and heard this song being played as Muzak. Thought it was funny considering what it's about.

    I think the politically correct term is 'self-gratification'. LOL :)

    More specifically - it's about female masterbation - beacuse it's what's so taboo. The lyric 'They say I'd better stop, or I go blind' refers to a common phrase in which attempted to stop girls from, well, touching themselves! In the lyrics from '12 Deadly Cyns...And Then Some' there is an arrow (^) after the word 'he' in the chrous - this is a refernce to God. She hopes that God wil understand about, err 'pleasuring herself' :) --> This song is great though - In a way, I can't beleive she got away with releasing this. But beacuse of this song and 14 others (filthy 15 of 1985) the 'Parental advisory' sticker had to come out, warning parents et al about explicit lyrics. You have your right to say what you like - it's not like kids would know what those lyrics meant!!

    I remember hearing this song, when I was really young and then learning, what it was about, I was like "No way, girls can do that?"

    And yet another reason why the 80's provided us with the best music.

    Masturbation

    "They say I better stop or I'll go blind" refers to those urban myths that masturbation makes you go blind, haha.

    And "I hope He will understand" refers to God.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
