In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Deep in the jungle,
in the land of adventure, lives Tarzan
Oo-ee-oo-ee...
I am Jane, and I love to ride an elephant
My name is Tarzan, I am Jungle-man
The tree-top swinger from jungle-land
Come, baby come,
I will take you for a swing
Let's go, honey, I'm tinkeling
Tarzan is handsome, Tarzan is strong
He's really cute, and his hair is long
Tarzan is handsome, Tarzan is strong
So listen to the Jungle-song:
Oo-ee-oo-ee...
I am Tarzan from Jungle,
you can be my friend
Oo-ee-oo-ee...
I am Jane, and I love to ride an elephant
When you touch me, I feel funny
I feel it too, when you're touching me
Come to my tree-house, to my party
Yes, I'll go if you carry me
Tarzan is handsome, full of surprise
He's really cute, and his hair is nice
Tarzan is handsome, Tarzan is strong
So listen to the Jungle-song:
Oo-ee-oo-ee...
I am Tarzan from Jungle, you can be my friend
Oo-ee-oo-ee...
I am Jane, and I love to ride an elephant
Go Cheetah, get banana
Hey monkey, get funky
When I am dancing, I feel funky
Why do you keep ignoring me?
Tarzan is here, come, kiss me, baby
Oochie coochie kiss me tenderly
Tarzan is handsome, Tarzan is strong
He's really cute, and his hair is long
Tarzan is handsome, Tarzan is strong
So listen to the Jungle-song:
Oo-ee-oo-ee...
I am Tarzan from Jungle,
you can be my friend
Oo-ee-oo-ee...
I am Jane, and I love
to ride an elephant
And so they got funky,
but will Tarzan have Jane?
Stay tuned to find out!

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/
