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.
Slide out ya clothes
And baby take off your shoes
That coochie got me so confused
That I don't know what to do
(Taste so sweet) daddy, divine
I got a woman so fine
That I gotta have it, like a rabbit
Almost all of the time
I knew this hotty named Janine
And she lived out in Queens
And she had a body, kinda like a horse
If you know what I mean
So I saddled up, more bang for the buck
Cuz she was splurging my cash
And I'm alright, cuz every night, when
I got to the crib, was hurting that ass
She used to tell me how much she loved
Me and how much she need me
How she can't wait to get home and rub me
And hug me and squeeze me
And after that, she just popped that bubbly
And touched me and teased me
And when she was mad, she
Would push and shove me
And fuck me and feed me
I gotta admit, I would spoiled and rotten
Dirty down to the core and I'm insane
Almost to the point where I really
Don't want it no more
But never that, I got back on track
And I had to put it together
Because without 'em, my world is gone, so
Slip away, I won't let her, i tell her
Slide out ya clothes
And baby take off your shoes
That coochie got me so confused
That I don't know what to do
(Taste so sweet) daddy, divine
I got a woman so fine
That I gotta have it, like a rabbit
Almost all of the time
I know this, girl named Anna
She was from Alabama she had some cooch
That had me driving back
And forth from Atlanta anna was a full grown
Independent woman with a
Car and a house on the hill
And no words can explain
How the hell she be making me feel
She knew just how to move them hips
She was like a gift
With a little bitty bow on top
Ripped my presents open, lights out
But the show don't stop
She got busy in the back of
The custom four door drop
Freshly dipped from the Fendi shades
To the Polo socks
Give it to me like a song I wrote
Aren't I dope?
On that note, she was just my kind
A penny for my thoughts, always on my mind
Explain why her name's over all my rhymes
No woman got me using up all my time
Crazy in the head, all off my grind
Believe me or not, I've done lost my mind
Slide out ya clothes
And baby take off your shoes
That coochie got me so confused
That I don't know what to do
(Taste so sweet) daddy, divine
I got a woman so fine
That I gotta have it, like a rabbit
Almost all of the time
I knew this honey named Renee
And she lived in BK
And I only hit it one time
Now I call her everyday
And she said I'm gettin' on her nerves
Cuz I'm lost for words
Infatuated by her beauty
And her wonderful curves
I said, bitch, I'm Dirt McGirt
Fresh out and back on the scene
And don't you ever in your life
Turn ya back on a king
I got something to prove, I
Done got my groove back, and all in the loop
Once papa got a brand new weave bag
And some blue suede shoes
I got another pep in my step
And a whole new glide in my stride
Put sixty thousand on my neck
And a million dollar look in my eye
And then she thought it, by the attraction
Said I could hit it again
And I been waiting for this moment
Since I got out the pen, i tell her
Slide out ya clothes
And baby take off your shoes
That coochie got me so confused
That I don't know what to do
(Taste so sweet) daddy, divine
I got a woman so fine
That I gotta have it, like a rabbit
Almost all of the time
And baby take off your shoes
That coochie got me so confused

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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."
