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.
Llego a la casa y me presenta a sus padres, "Hola, soy Randy"
Su madre bella como ella
Su padre me pregunta pa' dónde voy
La típica, "Una vuelta en el auto
Está en mis manos devolverla"
E' Chencho y Maldy con lo' más suelto' Jowell & Randy
¿Okey? Chencho, Chencho, boom
Y ella dice que va pa'l cine, pa'l quinceañero de la amiga
Pa'l pijama party y no llega na', llega na'
Ella no sale tanto
Cuando sale es mega eléctrica
Te voy a explicar, de la puerta pa' dentro plástica
De la puerta pa' afuera es sádica
Eso es de la puerta pa' allá
Porque su mamá no sabe na'
Y es obvio, si ella casi ni sale, no digo que soy su novio
Delante de tu papi un tipo sobrio
Que se la cuida
Que la respeta
Y su papi me miraba
De arriba abajo como si yo fuera nada
Y me decía que no la tocara
Que si me cogía me mataba
Tu papa me culpa a mí (me culpa a mí)
Y yo no tengo na' que ver (na' que ver)
Y es que su hija ya no es la misma (no, no, no, no)
Y usted lo tiene que entender (ah, ah(
Y no es mi culpa que tú seas tan maníaca
Maníaca, maníaca, maníaca
Y no es mi culpa que tú seas tan maníaca
Maníaca, maníaca, maníaca
Llegamo' al parking y asiento pa' atrá'
No dices na' porque está' enganchá'
Lleva otro vestido en la cartera
Pa' seguir andando en pichaera
12 del medio día del otro día
Y la tía todavía
Qué, qué, qué
Sigue encendía
Y sin batería sigue en la mía
Tremenda prendía'
Uste' está bien confundía'
Yo me la huelía
Que uste' me iba a durar par de round má'
Para vacilar desnu'ita en la cama
Fuiste lo guilla
Su madre bella como ella
Su padre me pregunta pa' dónde voy
La típica, "Una vuelta en el auto
Está en mis manos devolverla"
E' Chencho y Maldy con lo' más suelto' Jowell & Randy
¿Okey? Chencho, Chencho, boom

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.
