Uh
Hey
Oh yeah

Ain't no way I'm sittin' home tonight
I'll be out until the mornin' light
Just a hangin' 'round in the local parkin' lot
Oh, checkin' out all the girls, see what they got

Yeah they love it, when me an' the boys
Wanna play some love with them human toys
We wind 'em up n' let 'em go
Whoa oh yeah, whoa yeah, woo

Summer nights and my radio
Well that's all we need, baby, don'tcha know?
We celebrate when the gang's all here
Ah, hot summer nights, that's my time of the year

We made it through the cold
And that freezin' snow is gettin' old, hey
Next year I'll head out for the coast
Whaddya say boys, that might just call for a toast, now whaddya say?

I got a line, you got a pole
I'll meet you down at the old fishin' hole
Them girls are bitin' good tonight
Ow uh oh whoa yeah

Summer nights and my radio
Well that's all we need, baby, don'tcha know?
We celebrate when the gang's all here
Hot summer nights, you're my time of the year

Uh, yeah
(Ah summer nights)
You wanna talk about love?
(Ah summer nights)
In the heat of the summer
(Ah summer nights)
Well let's talk about love
Ah on a hot summer night, hey
In the heat of the summer
Well let's talk about love on a hot summer night, hey

    This is one of my fav. Sammy-era songs, not only for the song itself, but because of a memory I have!

    Really thought I already commented on this... maybe I did on the wrong song... if I did, I apologize. Anyway... This is my favorite VH song of all time. Sammy's one party rock song kills all of Dave's, which was pretty much all of them. I just have to roll down the windows and crank this out whenever I'm listening to it. So much fun. Clear meaning- lookin' for lovin' on a hot summer night. Does it get any better?

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
