Shake, shake, shake, señora
Shake your body line
Shake, shake, shake, señora
Shake it all the time
Work, work, work, señora
Work your body line
Work, work, work, señora
Work it all the time

My girl's name is señora
I tell you friends, I adore her
And when she dances, oh brother
She's a hurricane in all kinds of weather

Jump in the line, rock your body in time
Ok, I believe you
Jump in the line, rock your body in time
Ok, I believe you
Jump in the line, rock your body in time
Ok, I believe you
Jump in the line, rock your body in time
Whoa

Shake, shake, shake, señora
Shake your body line, whoa
Shake, shake, shake, señora
Shake it all the time
Work, work, work, señora
Work your body line
Work, work, work, señora
Work it all the time

You can talk about cha-cha
Tango, waltz, or the rumba
Señora's dance has no title
You jump in the saddle
Hold on to di bridle

Jump in the line, rock your body in time
Ok, I believe you
Jump in the line, rock your body in time
Rock your body, child
Jump in the line, rock your body in time
Somebody, help me
Jump in the line, rock your body in time
Whoa

Shake, shake, shake, señora
Shake your body line
Shake, shake, shake, señora
Shake it all the time, whoa
Work, work, work, señora
Work your body line, yeah

Señora she's a sensation
The reason for aviation
And fellas, you got to watch it
When she wind up she bottom
She go like a rocket

Jump in the line, rock your body in time
Ok, I believe you
Jump in the line, rock your body in time
Hoist those skirts a little higher
Jump in the line, rock your body in time
Up the chimney
Jump in the line, rock your body in time
Whoa

Yessah

Shake, shake, shake, señora
Shake your body line
Work, work, work, señora
Work it all the time
Dance, dance, dance, señora

Señora dances calypso
Left to right is the tempo
And when she gets the sensation
She go up in the air, come down in slow motion

Jump in the line, rock your body in time
Ok, I believe you
Jump in the line, rock your body in time
Somebody, help me
Jump in the line, rock your body in time
Ok, I believe you
Jump in the line, rock your body in time
Whoa

Shake, shake, shake, señora
Shake your body line
Shake, shake, shake, señora
Shake it all the time
Work, work, work, señora (shake, shake, shake, señora)

    Last time I listened, it clicked in my head that this is about sex: Senora's dance has no title You jump in the saddle Hold on to de bridle! I don't think he is singing about dancing...

    This song is about a pimp in Jamaica getting guys to be next to his whore! (This according to Harry B!) and was to give light to the prostitution being done as slavery for all of the tourist boats coming to "enjoy" the amenities of their Caribbean cruise!

    This song is so awesome, it breaks down "cool" people so they just act silly and dance. On the other end of the spectrum, it's the kind of song parents will enjoy dancing with their children despite the lyrics. And make no mistake, like a lot of popular music, these lyrics have double meanings (or even just single meanings!) that are sexual. Lyrics like "You jump in the saddle, Hold on to de bridle", "When she wind up she bottom she go like a rocket", ) are just as racy as other lyrics that were blacklisted by radio networks, yet nobody seems to have cared because the song is just so fun. Like the topic it refers to - sex - the song is irresistable.

    The part that always made me think it was about sex (specifically a girl who likes to be on top) is the last description of Senora. “Senora dances Calypso Left to right is the tempo And when she gets the sensation She go up in the air, come down in slow motion.”

    Pretty self explanatory..

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
