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,
I�ma hit you from the back, I�ma hit you from the,
I�ma hit you from the back, I�ma hit you from the,
I�ma hit you from the back, I�ma hit you from the,
I�ma hit you from the back and make you holler �til you pass out.
Holler back, holler back. (X4)
If you gots a neat stash (give me half, give me half)
And if you roll up on some cash (give me half, give me half)
And if your mumma�s in the back (give me half, give me half)
And you know I got the bass bat, bass bat, bass bat,
Bitches on the dick, give �em 3oh!3,
Poppin� motherfuckers like �you know me�
Shining in the club with the goatee,
Rollin� on the dubs like an OG.
Get them hands cracking in the 3oh!3
Ladies, shake-shake your ass now,
I�ma hit you from the back and make you holler �til you pass out.
Bang bang, bang bang, motherfucking street slang.
Is it getting hot in here or is it just me?
Is it getting hot in here or is it 3oh!3?
You�s a punk bitch if you don�t know bout Boulder,
Your girl�s a freak, cos that�s what I told her,
You think you�re tight, but my ice gets colder,
In Baller-ado fight you with my soldiers,
You know we clean, never smokin� that doja,
The gang sign, cos that�s what we all love.
Ladies, shake-shake your ass now,
I�ma hit you from the back and make you holler �til you pass out.
Bang bang, bang bang, motherfucking street slang.
Is it getting hot in here or is it just me?
Is it getting hot in here or is it 3oh!3?
I�ma hit you from the back, I�ma hit you from the,
I�ma hit you from the back, I�ma hit you from the,
I�ma hit you from the back and make you holler �til you pass out.
Holler back, holler back. (X4)
If you gots a neat stash (give me half, give me half)
And if you roll up on some cash (give me half, give me half)
And if your mumma�s in the back (give me half, give me half)
And you know I got the bass bat, bass bat, bass bat,
Bitches on the dick, give �em 3oh!3,
Poppin� motherfuckers like �you know me�
Shining in the club with the goatee,
Rollin� on the dubs like an OG.
Get them hands cracking in the 3oh!3
Ladies, shake-shake your ass now,

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This song reminds me of Hadouken!'s "No More Eatin'", probably because they're both rather violent. I think it's purposely overly violent to kind of poke fun at all the rap songs that do the same, but I'm not sure.
whether they are poking fun of the rap industry or not -- this song is about sex.
lol 3oh!3 can blow me the dont like that doja
this is, and always will be, their best song.
"Bitches on the dick, give ‘em 3oh!3, Poppin’ motherfuckers like ‘you know me’ Shining in the club with the goatee, Rollin’ on the dubs like an OG. Get them hands cracking in the 3oh!3"
by far the best part in the whole song lol
Anyone wanna amend these, cos I'm fairly sure they aren't entirely accurate.
*?
yeah, i was pretty sure that instead of goatee, its gold teeth.
i could be so definitely wrong though. idk. :P
It fits. It's annoying they're so unknown, makes accurate lyrics hard to find.
