My baby's a hot potato
This song's about a girl called a hot potato
She couldn't learn to dance, so, I had to make her
And I call her my hot potato
'Cause she can dance all around the floor
There it goes
My baby's a hot potato
She can't dance but I know I'll make her
She's so dumb, she can't see
Her lack of ability is killing me
She's gotta be a hot potato
She's gotta be a hot potato
Soon, she's got to learn to rock
She's got to learn to roll
She's got to learn to move
She's got to get some soul
Oh baby, get up off that chair
Hold my hand, you'll soon be there
Dance with me baby, my baby's a hot potato
You gotta be a hot potato, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna take you
Take you downtown
I'm gonna show you the bright lights
Show you around
You'll soon learn to dance
Like you've never done before
You'll learn to rock
You'll learn to shake the floor
My baby's a hot potato
Bound to be a hot potato yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, she's dancing now
Oh, she learnt so fast
Down and around she goes
Up and down, round and round
Up and down, round and round
Oh hot potato, hot potato
So, you've learned
You know what to do
Now, you're my girl
You're gonna love me true
I'm gonna kiss you, I'm gonna take you out
There ain't no barriers, now, we can shout, alright
Oh, we're both hot potatos
We're both hot potatos, now, right now
Away we go
We're going round and round
Away we go
We're going round and round
Oh, up and down
Oh, up and down
Oh, up and down, baby
Oh, up and down, baby
Work it out
We're both hot potatos
We're both hot potatos now

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
