| Rush – The Necromancer Lyrics

Some great music on this song. Really enjoy jamming along to it, especially the "Brooding in the Tower" section. Great "pinch" harmonics during that solo.
Mr. Reload: Sword of Shannara came out in '77, Caress of Steel in '75 so I don't think the tune was a nod to it. More inspired by LOTR I'd guess. |

Love the Wiggles, especially the Greg line-up,but their militant vegetarianism can be a bit much at times. Still waiting for a tune about meatloaf or italian sausage. Kids need protein too!! |

| Coldplay – Clocks Lyrics

I believe Chris Martin was experiencing psychosomantic "carpal tunnel syndrome" like symtoms during a basket weaving exam after hockey practice and was inspired to honestly express his bitter comtempt for himself. Unable to competently play the keyboards or carry a vocal, he was worried most people would be unable to determine for themselves the vastness of his ineptitude. This song is clearly the story of a talentless bonehead unable to coherently tell us how worthless he really is. This tune rocks! |

| Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven Lyrics

This one's about Robert's experience while a little buzzed up waiting for an elevator. "The tune will come to you at last"-refers to muzak in the elevator, once you get on. He wishes there was a stairway, and of course some chick on it to bang. |

| Bob Dylan – Mr. Tambourine Man Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
|
Mr. Tambourine Man was the name of Dylan's pet gerbil. He loved the thing, but was obsessed with poking thumb-tacks into the back of its head. The suffering of the poor gerbil inspired Bob to write more profitable tunes. "Sing a song for me" means "go into that crazy seizure dance little fellah, I got a song to write". |

| The Rolling Stones – Tumbling Dice Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
|
To me this song is Mick talking about his speech impediment, and the hopeless nature of the therapy he's tried. The dice refer to his I.Q., on any given day. He could be functioning at an IQ of 2 thru 12. You never know. "Roll the dice & see how stupid I am today'. It doesn't matter, whatever comes up will still be as smart as a bag of hammers. Good Tune. |

| The Rolling Stones – Jumpin Jack Flash Lyrics

Actually, the tune is about flatulence. That's what Jumpin Jack Flash is. "Its a gas gas gas" and "crossfire huricane" really bright the truth about it home. "Howled at my ma"- wow, here he's saying he bent over & ripped one at his mother. Pretty wacky. He's happy about finally getting the relief he needs from the intestinal build-up that has been bothering him. |

Its about orgies the Beatles would throw in the early days. Octopus=8 arms, Beatles=8 arms.
They often would pick up a girl and get the DVDA going on. |

I don't know if this is true, but a friend told me this song is about a pwoerful ham sandwich addiction. So overwelming it leads you to religion and whatever else. "California" is the name of a deli in New Jersey. The dream is for the ham sandwich. |

Its about Princes wicked ball skills (no pun intended). He can jump over LeBron, and he need to write about it. |

| Bob Dylan – Blowin' in the Wind Lyrics

|
|
Its about Bob's gambling addiction. He is comparing point spreads to other imponderables, and wishing he had the answers. He had a taste for the good life, and those luxuries ain't cheap. You can replace "how many roads" with "the Lions by 5 & a half, take the over". Same difference. Bob is basically saying "Pay Me!". |

I think Bob is laying the sarcasm on pretty thick in this tune. Clearly a salute to Mama Cass.
Bob's mean. |
