In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Where did the mothafuckin' cheese go at?
(I don't know!)
Where'd the mothafuckin' cheese go at?
(I don't know!)
Motherfuck!
(I don't know!)
Where did the mothafuckin' cheese go to?
(I don't know!)
Bitch, where the mothafuckin' cheese at?
(I don't know!)
Motherfuck!
(I don't know!)
Where did the mothafuckin' cheese go at?
(I don't know!)
(I don't know!)
Where'd the mothafuckin' cheese go at?
(I don't know!)
Motherfuck!
(I don't know!)
Where did the mothafuckin' cheese go to?
(I don't know!)
Bitch, where the mothafuckin' cheese at?
(I don't know!)
Motherfuck!
(I don't know!)
Where did the mothafuckin' cheese go at?
(I don't know!)

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
pizza hut, or some other big pizza company hired the ween boys to make a jingle for them. After making many different versions of the song, the pizza company still did not like it so ween tweaked the song and added "motherfuck" to it.
Motherfuck! I love this song!
Call-and-response, as a musical form, has a rich history in many parts of the world. In Christianity, the "antiphon" is a form of hymn in which the choir and congregation echo or answer the leader. Some believe that this practice may even have its roots in antiquity, in the Psalms of the Israelites. A similar format characterizes the Indian style of classical vocal music known as "Jugalbandhi," and call-and-response is a pervasive characteristic of sub-Saharan religious ritual and civic life, as well as in the diaspora.
Ween invokes this global legacy to examine contemporary existence through a lens of ancient heritage. While the modern slang definition of "cheese," meaning money, may cause the song to first appear only as a subtle critique of Western capitalism, the true meaning is far deeper: One must fully consider the historical universality of the song's form to understand that this modern definition must be contrasted against cheese's original implication of "sustenance." In culture as well as language, Ween observes, we increasingly define ourselves around abstract notions such as economic success, rather than in the physical world. Ween laments this moral decline, the loss of humanity's tether to substance, asking again and again how it could be restored.
The song's progression implies that this critical link is gone forever. As the singer realizes the magnitude of this existential crisis, his inquiries take on an increasingly aggressive and desperate tone; he curses in frustration, and still is not granted an answer. Instead, the music cuts out abruptly, and the listener is left only with one last statement of uncertainty before being plunged into silence.
Or maybe "Where'd the Cheese Go?," the original version of this, was written as a Pizza Hut jingle, and when it got rejected, they made this.<br /> Way to overexplain, dude.
@googlymoogly Thirty years ago Ween invited me to smoke weed with them and I gladly accepted. Is that what happened to you, too?
