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.
Goin' Back to LA, LA, LA
Goin' Back to LA.
Hmm. I guess so.
Goin' Back to LA, LA, LA
Goin' Back to LA.
Hmm. I guess so.
Goin' back to LA, for a little fun.
This is what we did in 1981.
We take a little drive and bring our radio,
There is no life in San Diego
We drive for two hours, up the I-5.
Six O'clock is when we arrive.
We will hang out by a burger stand
And eat a lot of food, as much as we can.
We turn the dial to a little bit of heaven
K-M-E-T, ninety, four, point, seven.
It's about time for the four-hour show.
It's the one and only Dr. Demento.
He plays wacky vinyl, warped cassettes,
even cylinders, as good as it gets.
Our tape cassettes are ready for the show.
C30, C60, C90, go.
Our tape recorders have fresh batteries.
So that our work will be a breeze.
Just before we hear, "The Doctor Is In",
We then push, the record button.
We will tape, every funny song,
We'll be having fun, all night long.
We'll listen to, Cheech and Chong,
Stan Freberg, Barnes and Barnes,
Shel Silverstein, Dickie Goodman
Frank Zappa, Allan Sherman,
Weird Al Yankovic, George Carlin
Tom Lehrer and, the list goes on and on.
We do this every single week,
This is what we like. Music for a geek.
When it's 9 o'clock, it's Top Ten time.
The songs are so good, it must be a crime.
What song will be, number one?
After it gets played, then we are done.
At 10 o'clock, it's time for us to go.
And drive on back to San Diego.
We listen to the tapes while we drive back.
When we get home, we'll hit the sack.
Then next Sunday, we'll do it all again.
And listen to the doc from six til ten.
We'll play the funny tapes, all week long.
With dementia, we can't go wrong.
It's a little bit of heaven, ninety four point seven.
K-M-E-T. Tweedle dee.
Goin' Back to LA.

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/
