Send "Babys" Ringtone to Cell

Summer comes
To multiply,
To multiply!

Summer comes
To multiply,
To multiply!

And I...
I'm the Carnival of Peace
I'll probably start a fleet
With no apologies

And the Carnival of Scenes...
It grows more and more appealing
But my woman and I...
My woman and I know what we're for

Summer comes
To multiply,
To multiply!

Summer comes
To multiply,
To multiply!

    General Comment:This song has NOTHING to do with making babies. LMFAO. Its about promiscuous sex. And the WOMAN he is referring is either his girlfriend, with whom he as a open relationship with or he could be referring to WOMAN as a "booty call", one nighters.

    General Comment:Something interesting to point out. There is a lot of cacophony chords in the beginning as everyone stated, not that I dislike them, but I think that there is a reason why they all stop and everything calms down once he gets to the line I'm the Carnival of Peace. Everything becomes peaceful at that line. Just something interesting I noticed.

    General Comment:The beginning of this song is the opening of "Music for 18 Musicians" by Steve Reich! Go ahead, listen to them side by side.

    General Comment:It's about how the life of travelling and exploring the world is becoming more appealing ''and the Carnival of Scenes... it grows more and more appealing''

    But he and his woman know what they're for and are going to settle down and create a family ''but my woman and I... my woman and I know what we're for''

    This is further strengthened by the line ''I'll probably start a fleet, with no apologies'' - the fleet representing a family.

    General Comment:The "but my woman and i..." implies that he feels differently than what he's stating. summer comes a time when everyone is careless and will do careless things. he knows that his woman and him know better.
