Uno dos, one two tres quatro

Ay, wooly bully
Watch it now, watch it
Here he comes, here he comes
Watch it now, he get 'cha

Matty told Hatty
About a thing she saw
Had two big horns
And a wooly jaw

Wooly bully
Wooly bully, yeah drive
Wooly bully
Wooly bully
Wooly bully

Hatty told Matty
Let's don't take no chance
Let's not be L-seven
Come and learn to dance

Wooly bully
Wooly bully
Wooly bully
Wooly bully
Wooly bully

Watch it now, watch it watch it watch it
Ay, ay, drive, drive, drive

Matty told Hatty
That's the thing to do
Get you someone really
Pull the wool with you

Wooly bully
Wooly bully
Wooly bully
Wooly bully
Wooly bully

Watch it now, watch it, here he comes
You got it, you got it

    We need more posts! This is a pop classic of the 20th century!

    I love the way Kubrick used it in 'Full Metal Jacket'

    "Let's not be L-seven" means something like let's not be square (i.e. lame) - as L7 together almost looks like a square.

    Apparently it's a slang phrase from the 50s, which is often mistaken for being a reference to the sexual position which is called 69.

    Yeah exactly. L-seven as in loser, square. When you put your hands up to make the square sign, your thumb and forefinger of the left hand make an L while those of the right hand make a seven, thus L7. Also I love hearing the word "apparently" in front of that statement. I can't wait until I see someone say something like, "Yes, apparently 'the bomb' was a phrase from the seventies used to mean cool, but is often misunderstood in today's slang world." Haha, seriously guys.

    I'm glad that you were able to take my comment lightly. Believe me, many things about the world around me constantly makes me feel old - seriously.

    Hatty likes to have a good time and has seen some wild things. He Tells Matty about it and offers to take her out for a good time. Hatty doesn't want to be a square and not have fun. He's not really asking her out, but to have fun with someone. This song is about sex. The line "Get you someone really to pull the wool with you" is obvious if you think about it.

    My Interpretation

    For "Get you someone really to pull the wool with you," I thought it referred to dancing. Like, "Cutting a rug."

    sorry to disappoint some of you but the song,according to the musical group was a feel good song with no particular meaning. search the web and you'll find the groups explanation. wooly bully was the name of sams cat. the song was not about sex. it was matty who told hatty scifiboy.

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.

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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
