Get Your Number

Mariah Carey

See, I always been wanting a girl like you
Fine mothafucka
C-Can I get your number?

Oh, damn
The club 'bout to close in a minute
Can I get your number, baby
So you and I can go get in it?
Let me come and pick you up, oh
And go take you out, oh
Can I get your number, baby
So I can show you what I'm all about?
What I'm all about, damn

I've been checkin' you out
And I noticed that you ain't just one of the crowd
So tell me won't you
Come on and see about me, baby
I've got the Cris' on ice, I'm 'bout to get nice
Up in VIP with all my ladies
Tell me how many times in your life
Will you get an opportunity like this tonight?
Tell me a little somethin' about you
Here's a little somethin' about me
I got a house in Capri and my own G4
And that Benz with the doors that lift up from the floor

Oh damn
The club 'bout to close in a minute
Can I get your number, baby
So you and I can go get in it?
Let me come and pick you up, oh
And go take you out, oh (take me out)
Can I get your number, baby
So I can show you what I'm all about?
What I'm all about, damn

Now that you're sitting next to me
I bet you're wondering
What my intentions are for you
And how to get into
Maybe I just wanna
Hug and kiss and love ya
Look into my eyes, baby, don't be shy
Is it yes or no
We ain't got all night
Tell me how many times in your life
Will you get an opportunity like this tonight?
Tell me a little somethin' bout you
Here's a little somethin' bout me
I got a pimp penthouse with a sick hot tub
We can watch the flat screen
While the bubbles fill it up

Oh damn
The club 'bout to close in a minute
Can I get your number, baby
So you and I can go get in it?
Let me come and pick you up, oh
And go take you out, oh
Can I get your number, baby
So I can show you what I'm all about?
What I'm all about, damn

Oh damn
The club 'bout to close in a minute
Can I get your number, baby
So you and I can go get in it? (I wanna go, baby)
Let me come and pick you up, oh
And go take you out, oh
Can I get your number, baby
So I can show you what I'm all about?
What I'm all about, damn

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."

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.

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.
