This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I got your Rhymes going 'round in my head
Got your supersonic beats mixing up my Keds
So dance, little DJ, come on
What's your name?
I wanna move, but I don't feel right
'Cause you've been playing other people's songs all night
So tell what you're trying to say
What's your name?
Hey, roll over, DJ
You're spinning away
All my time
Hey, who cares what you play
Say whatever you say, 'cause I don't mind
Hey, roll over, DJ
If you don't mind
Well, I know that you think you're the star
A pill poppin' jukebox is all that you are
So tell me it ain't that way
What's you're name?
Yeah
Hey, roll over, DJ
You're spinning away
All my time
Hey, who cares what you play
Say whatever you say, 'cause I don't mind
Hey, roll over, DJ
If you don't mind
Yeah
Hey, roll over, DJ
You're spinning away
All my time
Hey, who cares what you play
Say whatever you say, 'cause I don't mind
Hey, roll over, DJ
If you don't mind
Hey, roll over, DJ
If you don't mind
Hey, roll over, DJ
If you don't mind

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
When I first heard this song I thought it was nothing special musically, although I'm starting to get into it now. Everyone probably knows this, but the song Rollover Beethoven was about how rock was going to become the dominant form of music way back in the 50s(?). Anyway, I see Rollover DJ as being a similar song lyrically and I've got to say IT'S ABOUT TIME. I can't stand rap/dance/pop, whatever they want to call it, it's all the same to me and IT SUCKS. I like Rollover DJ just for the message it sends:
Rock will always be the supreme form of music and if you don't like it, then you can shove your dance CDs up your arse.
woah! I'm the first person to post a comment on this song!!
This song always sounds like "Taking Care of Business" to me. Still love it though. I find it kinda ironic when DJs play it too.
perhaps the American version is different, but mine says "uptight copyright" instead of "pill-popping jukebox."
Yep, the American version (or radio/album version) is different if that's what it says. The Australian single definitely says "pill-popping jukebox."
nope i got my album in the uk n mine says pill-popping!
ha, first i think it is talking about spinning DJs, not radio ones. Secondly i find this song hilarious coming from this band. A band with no identity who just steals music and sounds of other bands and slightly rearrange it and call it their own. At least DJs give credit to the authors and title their works as remixes.
I'd rather listen to a band play someone else's song that actually sounds good than someone who remixes something that sucked anyway to make it sound even worse.
All those people who don't like Jet because they sound like other bands should think this through, now this only applies if you liked the bands they sound like. Those bands are old and not many people care anymore and the old rock sound was dying. Jet came along and revived it and if anything spread it to new crowds, such as me who has never heard of any of the bands you are talking about. So think of it as revival, not as stealing.
I agree with dhelm, it's fucking rediculous that these guys are mocking DJs for playing other people's music, this from a band whose breakthrough single is practically an uncreditted Iggy Pop cover.
