You are a hippie
You smell like skunk
I'm your arch enemy
A middle-class punk
Get out, get a life, get a job
Everyone's smoking grass
Everyone is an ass
Can't you afford to cut your hair?
'Cause Frank & I will cut it off for free
Never trust a hippie
They'll sell you bad drugs

    exactly sincerlyme exactyl I ahve been trying to figure out what bothered me about this song and you perfectly put it into words. hippies and punk aren't that different, both believe in seriously questioning authority, both do drugs, both are dirty(true punks are at least), both are often poor, both are rebellios, and actually these days hippies too are often "middle class". and also i am beginning to think that fat mike just likes to make fun of people if its funny, hes kind of a jerk like that, but still funny. but personally i think he should lay off the hippies.

    Let me start off by saying I'm personally offended at the comments made by sincerelyme96 and rainydayboy. Yes, punks and hippies do share similarites. Fat Mike only makes fun of people who he has clear reason to make fun of, but let me clarify a few small things. To put this into comparison with anything else, I need to go back a little into American history... throughout history there have been groups and individuals who hate each other because of their similarities. Example, Malcom X and Martin Luther King jr., though they both supported one cause -- they went about it VERY differently, one through civil disobedience, one through outright violence. To call punks and hippies similar has some truth but is also different, I cut my hair.. it's blue, i am NOT dirty, I don't do drugs very often if at all... and I don't dress like a freak(not even in a 'punk' way.) Hippies go at similar causes (i.e. protesting) in VERY different ways and to be compared is almost offensive.

    Oh and by the way.. it's not "cause frank and I will cut it off for free." It's, "My friends and I will cut it off for free." (his friends being punks, not some guy named frank.)

    I don't agree with this song at all. This is a great example of Fat Mike writing a silly, joke song and a bunch of stupid kids taking it too seriously. There is nothing wrong with hippies. Why would you hate someone just because they are benevolent by nature. That is the underlying concept of hippies. Their concepts of free love, peace, etc., are meant as benevolent in theory, but people can distort the views of hippies and degrade them to the stereotype of stinky bums. Also, no one seems to like hippies, which I guess would make them social outcasts. Isn't punk about acceptance no matter what? It's not about wearing spiked bracelets and punk "uniforms." You can thank the Sex Pistols for that stupid stereotype. Punk is about individuality and accepting social outcasts, which would mean that the hippies should be accepted too. Hippies should be a true punker's best friend because punk isn't about anarchy or anything stupid like that, it's about individuality and benevolence in the world.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
