| DNCE – Cake by the Ocean Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| It's about a guy who wants to have some cake by the sea but is frustrated by the sand getting stuck to it. Despite the clear problems of eating cake on the beach, he doesn't give up on his dream: "I keep on hoping, cake by the ocean". | |
| R.E.M. – Losing My Religion Lyrics | 4 years ago |
|
I was out on a massive bender with Michael Stipe and after about his 10th pint of wifebeater he confided in me that the song was originally called "Losing My Shit" - (that's me in the corner, losing my shit" - but obviously that would have been totally incompatible with radio airplay, so they swapped "shit' for "religion". True, dat... ^^^^ |

| The Dandy Warhols – Bohemian Like You Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
It seems pretty evident to me that this song is mocking young hipster-types with delusions of being different, artistic and bohemian, hanging out in coffee shops. I imagine it was a response to the pretentious Portland Oregon late 1990s / early 2000s scene. "What do you do - oh yeah I wait tables to.... No I haven't heard your band but you guys are pretty cool". It's poking fun at twenty-somethings who think they are so painfully cool and alternative when actually they just work in coffee shops, making next to no money, making crap music that no one will ever hear, whilst their parents are paying for it all. |
