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.
I got her singin' (I got her singin')
I got her singin' (I got her singin')
I got her singin' (I got her singin')
I got her singin'
Oh-oh-oh (I got her singin')
I got her singin'
Oh-oh-oh (I got her singin')
I got her singin'
Oh-oh-oh (I got her singin')
I got her singin'
Oh-oh-oh (I got her singin'), yeah
Soon as I step out the whip, they spot me
Girls snappin' pictures like the paparazzi
So many different type of women I'm into
And I can't take 'em all with me is my only issue
I wanna leave out of here, take 'em back to the crib
And show them how to do the chocha, hit it like Sosa
I wanna leave out of here, take 'em back to the crib
'Cause they know what I'm thinkin', they look better naked
There's so many ladies
Up in this club I can choose from
And they all look amazin'
That's why it's so hard to just pick one
When I get 'em off to the room
We ain't playin' by no rules
And girl singin' melodies
And it soundin' like your favorite song playin' on the radio
And can't get enough of me
I had a girl singin' like me
I had a girl singin' like me
I had a girl singin' like me
I had a girl singin' like me
All this bottle poppin' got me feelin' nicely
Leavin' by myself is highly unlikely
Lookin' for a right now, don't need no wifey
Settlin' down with one chick, that ain't even like me
So many women in the atmosphere (atmosphere)
Gotta leave with at least three and a pair (three and a pair)
The look in they eyes tellin' me that they want it
Don't like it that much to put a ring on it
There's so many ladies
Up in this club I can choose from
And they all look amazin'
That's why it's so hard to just pick one (pick one)
When I get 'em off to the room
We ain't playin' by no rules
And girl singin' melodies (oh)
And it soundin' like your favorite song playin' on the radio
And can't get enough of me
I had a girl singin' like me
I had a girl singin' like me (oh)

When I'm whisperin' in your ear
Know I got you listenin', baby
'Cause when I put my hands on you
Girl, I'm gonna drive your body crazy, oh
When I get 'em off to the room (when I get 'em off in this room, yeah)
We ain't playin' by no rules

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
this song is absolutely amazing ♥
