For us to Get together and sing, sing

Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring banana phone
Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding donana phone
It grows in bunches, I've got my hunches
It's the best! Beats the rest

Ping pong ping pong ping pong ping panana phone

Don't need quarters, don't need dimes
To call a friend of mine
Don't need coomputer or TV
To have a real good time
I'll call for pizza. I'll call my cat
I'll call the white house, have a chat
I'll place a call around the world, operator get me Bejing-jing-jing-jing

Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring banana phone
Boop-boo-ba-doo-ba-doop
Yin yang yin yang yin yang ying yonana phone
It's a real live mama and papa phone
A brother and sister and a dogaphone
A grandpa phone and a grandma phone too, oh yeah
My cellular, bananular phone

Banana phone, ring ring ring
(It's a phone with appeal)
Banana phone, ring ring ring
(Now you can have your phone and eat it too)
Banana phone, ring ring ring
(This song drives me, Bananas)
Banana phone, ring ring ring

Boo-ba-doo-ba-doop-doop-doop!

    This is an ultimate party song and is so fun.

    In acting class at university we play this song really loud and dance around to it with the lights out. That just shows how cool Raffi is if university people party to him and not just little kids.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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/

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.
