He Rocks his IROC-Z
He rocks it well
He rocks his Oakleys and his Oakley loaf from hell
He's spinning donuts out in front of Taco Bell
The girls are wanting him so bad and he can tell

I shred for hella days
You know I can
For finger tapping yeah Van Halen is the man
He's making fun because I play in marching band
He's getting action while I get my farmer tan

Hey, there's ego in my way
Lucky for me I have the patience of a saint
Ready, steady, these days are high and heady
There's so much more left to say
But there's ego in my way

He plays the ladies man
He plays it cool
I play my guitar and I play it by the rules
You think you rock so hard I challenge you to duel
After school after school after school
Let me hear you say

Hey, there's ego in my way
Lucky for me I have the patience of a saint
Ready, steady, these days are high and heady
There's so much more left to say
But there's ego in my way (there's ego in my way)
There's ego in my way (there's ego in my way)
There's ego in my way (there's ego in my way)

Oh, there’s ego in my way.
Oh yea yea yea, let’s rock!

Let me hear you say
Hey, there's ego in my way
Lucky for me I have the patience of a saint
Ready, steady, these days are high and heady
There's so much more left to say
But there's ego in my way (theres ego in my way)

There's ego in my way (there's ego in my way)
There's ego in my way (there's ego in my way)
There's ego in my way (there's ego in my way)
There's ego in my way (there's ego in my way)
Oh yea yea, there’s ego in my way

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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/

Magical
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.
