In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Gettin', gettin', gettin' (Xcel, Xcel)
Gettin', gettin', gettin'
I was gettin' some head
Gettin', gettin' some head
I was gettin' some head
Gettin', gettin' some head
I was gettin' some head
Gettin', gettin' some head
I was with the kinda girl that make ya toes pop
I was gettin' some head (DTP)
Gettin', gettin' some head (Hustle)
I was gettin' some head (DTP)
Gettin', gettin' some head (Hustle)
I was gettin' some head (DTP)
Gettin', gettin' some head (Hustle)
I was with the kinda girl that make ya toes pop
You know you niggas want a bitch like me (like me)
Apple Bottoms with the wifebeater, rockin' Nikes (Nikes)
All the niggas in the hood wanna call her wifey (wifey)
If you got a pretty dollar, then I prolly might be (might be)
You niggas poppin' collars while you bitches pop P's
I'mma do it for my riders that get out and pop E
Thinkin' you can find me, man you need to stop, please
Catch me flyin' through your hood, in a drop top V
I'm in the pop top 3, and my pops got G's
See the watch got chilly, and the rocks got freeze
And ya broads act silly, couldn't jack my steez
Quit slippin' on your pimpin' ma, ya boy chose me
And now we got 'em "hey lil mama, can you give me a sec
I got a little somethin' somethin' 'bout as big as yo leg"
This nigga yawnin' while he talkin', so I knew he was weak
And by like six in the mornin', he forgot what he said
I was gettin' some head
Gettin', gettin' some head
I was gettin' some head
Gettin', gettin' some head
I was gettin' some head
Gettin', gettin' some head
I was with the kinda girl that make ya toes pop
I was gettin' some head (DTP)
Gettin', gettin' some head (Hustle)
I was gettin' some head (DTP)
Gettin', gettin' some head (Hustle)
I was gettin' some head (DTP)
Gettin', gettin' some head (Hustle)
I was with the kinda girl that make ya toes pop
You know I keep 'bout 4-5 woofers in the trunk (in the trunk)
I turn it to the max so you can feel it when they bump (when they bump)
You heard of DTP, we give the people what they want (what they want)
And when it comes to hustle, yo you know we ain't no punk (ain't no punk)
You catch me in the town, we blowin' dro and gettin' drunk
And when we hit the party, yo you know we keep it crunk
Yo nigga actin' tipsy on the floor and gettin' stomp
Don't act like you ain't know, now tell yo ho to pass the blunt
You bitches wanna be me 'cause you know that I'm the shit
You see me on the TV 'cause I roll wit Ludacris
Don't hate Shawnna baby, just be mad at who you wit
I keep a couple hammers so you know too I'm legit
Just so you understand, so you know I'm bout the bread (I'm 'bout my bread)
And don't you try to play me for a joke about my cash (I'm 'bout my cash)
Before I hit the tip and got the heat up out the stash (up out my stash)
I hit him on the low, shawty this is what he said (what he said)
I was gettin' some head
Gettin', gettin' some head
I was gettin' some head

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,
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/
