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,
Oh yeah
I'm your basic average girl and I'm here to save the world
You can't stop me 'cause I'm Kim Possible
There is nothin? I can't do and when danger calls
Just know that I am on my way
(Know that I am on my way)
It doesn't matter where or when there's trouble
If ya just call me name, Kim Possible
Call me, beep me, if ya wanna reach me
When ya wanna page me it?s okay
Whenever you need me baby
Call me, beep me, if ya wanna reach me
Call me, beep me, if ya wanna reach me
Doesn't matter where, doesn't matter when
(Doesn?t matter when)
I will be there for you 'til the very end
('Til the very end)
Danger or trouble, I'm there on the double
You know that you always can call, Kim Possible
So what's the sitch?
Call me, beep me
If ya wanna reach me
I'm your basic average girl and I'm here to save the world
You can't stop me 'cause I'm Kim Possible
There is nothin? I can't do and when danger calls
Just know that I am on my way
(Know that I am on my way)
It doesn't matter where or when there's trouble
If ya just call me name, Kim Possible
Call me, beep me, if ya wanna reach me
When ya wanna page me it?s okay
Whenever you need me baby
Call me, beep me, if ya wanna reach me
Call me, beep me, if ya wanna reach me
Doesn't matter where, doesn't matter when
(Doesn?t matter when)
I will be there for you 'til the very end
('Til the very end)
Danger or trouble, I'm there on the double
You know that you always can call, Kim Possible
So what's the sitch?
Call me, beep me
If ya wanna reach me

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
i do not know much about Christina Milian, and to be honest, i don't care much either. Not my thing, however, i currently love Kim Possible, and I didn't see the song up here, so i thought "Why Not?"
SO WHATS THE SITCH WADE?
