Wehell I see them every night in tight blue jeans
In the pages of a Blue Boy magazine
Hey I've been thinking of a new sensation
I'm picking up good vibration
Ooh she bop, she bop

Do I want to go out with a lion's roar
Huh, yea, I want to go south and get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop or I'll go blind
Ooh she bop, she bop

She bop he bop and we bop
I bop you bop and they bop
Be bop be bop a lu bop
I hope he will understand
She bop he bop and we bop
I bop you bop and they bop
Be bop be bop a lu she bop
Ohh ohh she do she bop

Hey, hey they say I better get a chaperon
Because I can't stop messin' with the danger zone
Hey, I won't worry, and I won't fret
Ain't no law against it yet, oh she bop, she bop

She bop he bop and we bop
I bop you bop and they bop
Be bop be bop a lu bop
I hope he will understand
She bop he bop and we bop
I bop you bop and they bop
Be bop be bop a lu she bop
Ohh ohh she do she bop

She bop he bop and we bop
I bop you bop and they bop
Be bop be bop a lu bop
I hope he will understand
She bop he bop and we bop
I bop you bop and they bop
Be bop be bop a lu she bop
Ohh ohh she did it she bop
Ohh ohh she dif it she bop

    I'm not sure what happened to this thread, but I wish there was a mod on this site to get rid of both of you, and delete your comments.

    This is a great song. I recently heard my very conservative and religious sister-in-law singing this to her 18 month old daughter. The daughter was smiling and giggling and enjoying every minute of it.

    The best part was explaining to my sis-in-law and my mother-in-law what this song was about.

    masturbation, jerking off, wanking off, taking matters into your own hands.

    every verse illustrates it more or less ...

    I was in a store once and heard this song being played as Muzak. Thought it was funny considering what it's about.

    I think the politically correct term is 'self-gratification'. LOL :)

    More specifically - it's about female masterbation - beacuse it's what's so taboo. The lyric 'They say I'd better stop, or I go blind' refers to a common phrase in which attempted to stop girls from, well, touching themselves! In the lyrics from '12 Deadly Cyns...And Then Some' there is an arrow (^) after the word 'he' in the chrous - this is a refernce to God. She hopes that God wil understand about, err 'pleasuring herself' :) --> This song is great though - In a way, I can't beleive she got away with releasing this. But beacuse of this song and 14 others (filthy 15 of 1985) the 'Parental advisory' sticker had to come out, warning parents et al about explicit lyrics. You have your right to say what you like - it's not like kids would know what those lyrics meant!!

    I remember hearing this song, when I was really young and then learning, what it was about, I was like "No way, girls can do that?"

    And yet another reason why the 80's provided us with the best music.

    Masturbation

    "They say I better stop or I'll go blind" refers to those urban myths that masturbation makes you go blind, haha.

    And "I hope He will understand" refers to God.

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.

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.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
