This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I'm walkin' all by myself
Well, I was talkin' to myself
About you; what am I gonna do?
I was singin' this song about you
I was thinkin' about singin' this song for you
The more I think about it
The more I know it's true
The more I think about it
The more I'm sure it's you
Honey, I think you're just right, you're just right
I was walkin', like I said, by myself
I was talkin' to myself about you, like I always do
The more I think about it
The more I know it's true
The more I think about it
The more I'm sure it's you
Honey, I think you're just right, you're just right
The more I think about it
The more I know it's true
The more I think about it
The more I'm sure it's you
Honey, I think you're just right, you're just right
Well, I was talkin' to myself
About you; what am I gonna do?
I was singin' this song about you
I was thinkin' about singin' this song for you
The more I think about it
The more I know it's true
The more I think about it
The more I'm sure it's you
Honey, I think you're just right, you're just right
I was walkin', like I said, by myself
I was talkin' to myself about you, like I always do
The more I think about it
The more I know it's true
The more I think about it
The more I'm sure it's you
Honey, I think you're just right, you're just right
The more I think about it
The more I know it's true
The more I think about it
The more I'm sure it's you
Honey, I think you're just right, you're just right

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/

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.
I love this song, especially the way he performs it solo. A lot of the SBS songs are just fun-loving and free-spiritted, and this one especially. This album, culminating is the closing track, is definately about the ups and downs of relationships, both romantic and otherwise, including the narrators relationship with himself. Walken, however, is pretty obvious. He's in love, and he can't help it--he's walken around and can't help but sing about his girl. He runs home just to see her. This song might be the first time the narrator realized he's in love--'the more I think about it the more I know it's true'--or possibly when he decides to ask for her hand in marriage. Hell, it could just be Tweedy saying 'man I love my wife'. Either way, a great song and great album by a great band.

what the song about is pretty easy to interpret. however, the title throws me off a little bit. "walken" is not the correct way to spell "walking" or "walkin" ...so is it a reference to Christopher Walken?? [i find this unlikely] or is it mispelled by accident or on purpose? why?
I have to say, I always assumed the singer here was maybe questioning his relationship, rather than just feeling hunky-dory about it, with lines like "I was talking to myself about you".
That said, he does end by saying she's just right, but I don't think it's as straightforward as you make out. But what an incredible song, when I first heard it, I just wanted to play it to everyone I knew, like Listen to THIS!!! It starts sounding like a lovely country song, but then that guitar comes in during the verse and just takes it somewhere else, and you don't know WHAT is going to happen next. I love all the musical interludes, and when it stays on the one G note for ages and then the beat comes back in. Genius!
omg, this song is just right ... just riiight. haha. okay, my interpretation of the song: for me it is about taking a break, being alone with your heart and mind thinking about what you really feel. or feeling what you really feel. no one's able to interrupt you while thinking, feeling ... whatever. i guess it could be that this girl he's fallen in love with, is someone he never wanted to end up with. well, it might be. he probably couldn't see the truth right from the beginning. somthing had happened, so he needed some time off. thinking, realizing that it's true. she's just right. and so on ... it means a lot to me and. memories from the past ... yeh.
Catchy!
I think the title is in fact a reference to Christopher Walken, just done for the sake of a pun.
Here's a mighty good example of how a lot of times lyrics are just another musical element for Tweedy. The lyrics' meaning has a lot less importance to him as a songwriter than the way it all sounds. There's not much to analyze here. Just a bad ass song.
