We like the music, we like the disco sound...hey!
We like the music, we like the disco sound...hey!
We like the music, we like the disco sound...hey!
We like the music, we like the disco sound...hey!

We dig TV we dig remote control,
We dig the Furry Freak Brothers and the Twilight Zone,
We dig Marvel and D.C., we dig Run-DMC,
We dig Renegade Soundwave and AC/DC
(Can U dig it?)

CHORUS
Bruce Wayne auf weidersehn,
Dirty Harry, "Make my day,"
Terminator, hit the north,
Alan Moore knows the score,
Riffs? Yeah! Can U dig it?
Riffs? Yeah! Can U dig it?

We dig Optimus Prime and not Galvetron,
We dig "The Leader of the Pack" and the "Do-Run-Run",
Spinderella and Bruce Lee, "The Bad and the Ugly",
"V for Vendetta" and "Into the Groovy".
(Can U dig it?)

CHORUS

We like the music, we like the disco song...hey!
We like the music, we like the disco song...hey!

    as is obvious, this song is about things that PWEI dig. Here are some explanations of some of them:

    The Twilight Zone: cult classic science fiction TV show from the 60s. The famous theme to the Twilight Zone is sampled in "Def.Con.One".

    Marvel: comic book publisher

    D.C.: comic book publisher

    Run-DMC: one of the first rap groups to achieve mainstream popularity in the mid-80s.

    Renegade Soundwave: classic dub group

    AC/DC: rock band

    Bruce Wayne: the public identity of superhero Batman.

    Dirty Harry: famous character protrayed by Clint Eastwood.

    Terminator: the James Cameron movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    Alan Moore: comic book writer. The PWEI song "Def.Con.One" is about his graphic novel "Watchmen."

    "Riffs? Yeah! Can U Dig It?": This line comes from the cult classic movie "The Warriors". The sample of a radio announcer saying "okay, let's get down to it boppers" at the beginning of the song is also from The Warriors. The Riffs are the biggest gang in NYC in the movie. This is the way they respond to their leader.

    Optimus Prime and Galvetron: two characters in the Transformers.

    "The Leader of the Pack": song from the 50s about a motorcycle hero who wins the heart of the girl singing the song and then bites it in an accident.

    "Do Run-Run": Beach Boys song.

    Spinderella: DJ for hip-hop girl group Salt N Pepa.

    Bruce Lee: legendary martial arts actor

    "The Bad and the Ugly": truncated from the full title "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", a movie starring the aforementioned Clint Eastwood.

    "V for Vendetta": a graphic novel by Alan Moore.

    "Into the Groovy": not sure what this one is; all I can think of is a song by Sonic Youth alter-egos Ciccone Youth.

    one more thing I forgot to add.

    Furry Freak Brothers: western cartoon characters from Gilbert Shelton. First appeared in 1968.

    Hit the north is a possible reference to the song of that name by The Fall

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
