Hot Mess

Cobra Starship

You were a problem child
Been grounded your whole life
So now you running wild
Playing with them good girls
No that ain't your style

You think your hot shit
I love it, I love it, yeah, yeah
Stumbling but yeah, you're still looking hella fine
Keep doing what you're doing and I'm a make you mine

Well, you're a hot mess and I'm falling for you
And I'm like hot damn let me make you my boo
Cause you can shake it shake it shake it
Yeah you know what to do
You're a hot mess, I'm loving it, hell yes

I've been hypnotized
The city's your playground,
I watch you take a bite
At five am roaming in the streets
Drunk all night
You think your hot shit
I love it, I love it, yeah, yeah
Stumbling but yeah, you're still looking hella fine
Keep doing what you're doing and I'm a make you mine

Well, you're a hot mess and I'm falling for you
And I'm like hot damn, let me make you my boo
Cause you can shake it shake it shake it
Yeah you know what to do
You're a hot mess, I'm loving it, hell yes

You're a hot mess and I'm falling for you
And I'm like hot damn let me make you my boo
Cause you can shake it shake it shake it
Yeah you know what to do
You're a hot mess, I'm loving it, hell yes

If you're dancing up on tables
You go you go, you got it girl
Say that you're unstable
You go coco, you got it girl
Dancing up on tables
Say that you're unstable
You're a ha ha ha ha ha yeah you're a hot mess
Ha ha ha ha ha we're singing hell yes

Well, you're a hot mess and I'm falling for you
And I'm like hot damn let me make you my boo
Cause you can shake it shake it shake it
Yeah you know what to do
You're a hot mess
I'm loving it, hell yes
You're a hot mess and I'm falling for you
And I'm like hot damn let me make you my boo
Cause you can shake it shake it shake it
Yeah you know what to do
You're a hot mess
I'm loving it, hell yes (hell yes)
Hot mess, I'm loving it, hell yes (hell yes)
Hot mess, I'm loving it, hell yes

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

No Surprises
Radiohead
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
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/

American Town
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.
