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.
OK now let me tell you
What this song is all about
Party people let me hear
You scream and shout
Without a doubt
Cause I am about to
Turn this whole party out
I know that you're feeling this
Cause I see you bumping
All your heads to this
Especially the men 'cause
They be feeling this bliss
Cause they see the ladies
All shaking their hips
Don't just stand there, throw
Your hands up in the air
And you sitting down
Get up off the chair
You don't see a party
Going on over there
If you got a job and
Money in your pocket
Let me hear you say (OK!)
All my ladies if why yall don't care
Let me hear you say (OK!)
And if that's your car
Parked outside the
Bar let me hear you say (OK!)
And if you're dressed to
Impress, you don't take stress
Let me hear you say (OK!)
Pulled up on chrome,
Left wifey back at home
Got some fresh gear, and
All kinds of ice on
Gotta pocket full of doe, you know
If you got the same things
Let me hear you go, Okay
Were gonna party till
The break of day
B-B coming through,
And were here to stay
Better make way
And if you got game,
Its time to play
I'm trying to find me a dime
That just say, okay
Well its the year 2G,
Gotta get your own
Gotta have your home
Get your phone
Getting money from your
Man that's a no, no
Gotta get a job so you get paid
Gotta get a man so you get,
I know you understand
Now for the men gotta
Ditch your friends
Gotta meet your ends.. so
You can drive a new benz
Move out your mums
Gotta get some grams
Gotta fix up be a real man
So
If you got a job and
Money in your pocket-aca
What this song is all about

Little Feat
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
