Ladies of the World

Flight of the Conchords

Oh oh
I just wanna, I just wanna

Just wanna do something special for all the Ladies in the World

Oh yes

Just wanna do somethin' special

Ah

For all the Ladies in the world

Is that possible?

And the girls
Don't forget them girls

Caribbean

(Ladies)

Parisian

(Ladies)

Bolivian

(Ladies)

Namibian

(Ladies)

Eastern Indochinian

(Ladies)

Republic of Dominican

(Ladies)

Amphibian

(Ladies)

Presbyterian

(Ladies)

Outta' sight

Amazin' ladies

Late night

Hard workin' ladies

Erudite

Brainy ladies

Hermaphrodite

Lady-man-ladies

Oh you sexy hermaphrodite lady-man-ladies
With your sexy lady bits
And your sexy man bits too
Even you must be in to you

All the ladies in the world
I wanna' get next to you
Show you some gratitude
By makin' love to you it's the least we can do

If every soldier in the world
Put down his weapon and picked up a woman
What a peaceful world this world would be

Redheads not warheads
Blondes not bombs
We're talkin' about brunettes not fighter jets

Oh oh it's got to be Sweet 16's not M-16's
When will the governments realize it's got to be funky sexy ladies?

I have a vision and all I can see
Is all of you with 'a all of me
In a world of peace and harmony
Where every lady gets a little piece of Brety

I've been to Paris, Wellington and Amsterdam
And a wham-bam, Merci, Danke, thank 'a you ma'm
I don't care if you're ugly or you're skanky or you're small
I just wanna do a little something special for y'all

All the ladies, in the world, you deserve it, Girl

All the old ladies
All the clean ladies

All the ladies, in the world

All the crazy ladies

    You missed at the end where "J" starts to whisper in the background: "All the old ladies All the cleaning ladies All the crazy ladies All the lazy ladies"

    Hahah. This song just cracks me up, every time I hear it. I didn't know there was such a thing as amphibian ladies, but apparently I was wrong. I think this guy (these guys) just want some and don't care who it's from.

    I find this song totally hilarious and flattering. There's absolutely nothing degrading or sexist about it. There's nothing wrong with wanting ladies, or sexy ladies for that matter. Once again, feminism rears its ugly head not out of defense for women's right but out of discomfort with sex and the natural desire for it. All human beings want sex, and this is a song about sex. There's nothing perverted about it. Or actually there is, but in a funny and ironic way.

    LOL, I'm a feminist (and folks, for the record, TRUE feminism =/= misandry) and I actually got a fairly pro-female message, or at least a pro-people message overall. The song is about sex, obviously, and there's nothing degrading or anti-female about it at all. I think everyone needs to stop taking things so seriously. They're celebrating all types of females, what's misogynistic about that? Nothing.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
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.
