Ah ah, ooh ooh
Ah ah, ooh ooh

White lights, strange city, mad music all around
Midnight street magic, crazy people, crazy sound

Ah ah, ooh ooh

Jack Flash, rocket man, Sergeant Pepper and the band
Ziggy, Benny and the Jets
Take a rocket, we just gotta fly
(I can take you through the center of the dark)
We're gonna fly (on a collision course to crash into my heart)
I will be your, I will be your, I'll be your
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket baby, come on, I'll be your satellite of love

Ah ah, ooh ooh
Ah ah, ooh ooh

Spotlight magnetic razor rhythm laser love
Guitar, drums, load up, stun

Ah ah, ooh ooh

Jet Black, Johnny be, Jean Genie, Killer Queen
Dizzy Lizzy, Major Tom
So come on, we just gotta fly

(I can take you through the center of the dark)
We're gonna fly (on a collision course to crash into my heart)
I will be your, I will be your, I'll be your
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket baby, come on, I'll be your satellite of love

Countdown commencing, fire one
Five, four, three, two, one, zero, we have liftoff

We just gotta fly
I can take you through the center of the dark
We're gonna fly, on a collision course to crash into my heart
I will be your, I will be your, I'll be your
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Guitar, drums, load up, we're gonna fly
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love, we're gonna fly
Rocket, yeah, satellite of love
Rocket, yeah

    Jack Flash = Rolling Stones (Jumpin' Jack Flash) rocket man = Elton John (Rocket Man) Sergeant Pepper and the band = The Beatles (Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Song/album) Ziggy = David Bowie (Ziggy Stardust) Benny and the Jets = Elton John (Bennie And The Jets) satellite of love = Lou Reed (Satellite Of Love)

    Jet = Wings (Jet) ?

    Johnny B = Chuck Berry (Johnny B. Goode) Gene Jenie, = David Bowie (Jean Genie) Killer Queen = Queen (Killer Queen Dizzy Lizzy = The Beatles (Dizzy Miss Lizzy) Major Tom = David Bowie (Space Oddity)

    Those are all the references I knew about. Still uncertain about Jet Black. And I like many others used to think Dizzy Lizzy was a reference to Thin Lizzy.

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."

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/
