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.
Baby will you be my corona and lime
And I will be your main squeeze
And if your brother don't like my style
We could take it to the street
We could take it to the street
Yo, lil' girls in the city
Dress up pretty
Go out and get messed up and shitty
Girls by the sea, dress like hippies
And write love beads and go skinny dippin'
Girls in the hills, go day trippin'
To get their nails done, and hair straighten
Lil' girls in the eight one eight
Get hot when I roll over laurel canyon
Let me tell you about a girl I know
She like hip hop and rock and roll
She walk slow down the avenue
I ain't met her, but I get her when I do
Let me tell you about a girl I love
She stay at home cause she hate the club
Baby but, pretty little features
I ain't met her but I'll get her when I see her
Baby will you be my corona and lime
And I will be your main squeeze
And if your brother don't like my style
We could take it to the street
We could take it to the street
Girls in New York look like giraffes
Long neck, long legs, tiny tits and ass
Girls from L.A rock oversized shades
And chill all day 'cause they already payed
Girls in Miami
Street bikinis
Bump techno by Dj Tiesto
Girls from Detroit like electro
And dance all night 'til they break their neck, yo
Let me tell you about a girl I know
She like hip hop and rock and roll
Let me tell you about a girl I love
Let me tell you about a girl I love
Baby will you be my corona and lime
And I will be your main squeeze
And if your brother don't like my style
We could take it to the street
We could take it to the street
And if your brother don't like my style
We could take it to the street
We could take it to the street
Now if you lookin' for love, won't you put you hands up
(if you lookin' for love, won't you put you hands up)
If you lookin' for love then I'm lookin' for love
(If you lookin' for love then I'm lookin' for love)
Now if you lookin' for love, won't you put you hands up
(If you lookin' for love, won't you put you hands up)
Now, if you lookin' for love then I'm lookin' for love, huh
And this is what I'm lookin' for
Let me tell you about a girl I know
She like hip hop and rock and roll
She walk slow down the avenue
I ain't met her, but I get her when I do
Let me tell you about a girl I love
She stay at home 'cause she hate the club
Baby but, pretty little features
I ain't met her but I'll get her when I see her
Baby will you be my corona and lime
And I will be your main squeeze
And if your brother don't like my style
We could take it to the street
We could take it to the street
Baby will you be my corona and lime
And I will be your sandy beach
And if your brother don't like my style
We could take it to the street
We could take it to the street
And I will be your main squeeze
And if your brother don't like my style
We could take it to the street
We could take it to the street

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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/
