(It's 'bout that time a year again!)
It was bumper to bumper when I hit that county
So I stopped and let the top down

Speakers where a bumpin',
Little hip-hop somethin'
I was stirrin' up a coke and crown

Didn't even check in the room,
We went straight for the beach,
Didn't even give the ice a chance to melt

Now I'm scoutin' my spot,
Where we were gonna rock,
With the biggest buzz I ever felt

Now I'm sittin' pretty in Suntan City,
Got the best view in the world,
Spendin' my days catchin' these rays,
Watchin' coconut covered girls

They keep strollin' by,
And they keep rollin' in,
Like the waves on the sand

Yeah, I'm sittin' pretty in Suntan City,
With a cold one in my hand (Whoo!)

Hey there cutie with a Kentuky coozie,
Have you ever hung with a Georgia boy?
And why don't you and your friends,
Ease on over here and chug a beer with Miss Illinois?

Yeah I'm sittin' pretty in Suntan City,
Got the best view in the world,
Spendin' my days catchin' these rays,
Watchin' coconut covered girls

They keep strollin' by,
And they keep rollin' in,
Like the waves on the sand

Yeah, I'm sittin' pretty in Suntan City,
With a cold one in my hand

I gotta buddy who blew all his money,
And he had to stay his broke-ass home,
He's been goin' crazy, blowin' up my phone
Wonderin' to know whats goin' on

I tell him I'm sittin pretty in Suntan City,
Got the best view in the world,
Spendin' my days catchin' these rays,
Watchin' coconut covered girls

And they keep strollin' by,
And they keep rollin' in,
Like the waves on the sand

Yeah, I'm sittin' pretty in Suntan City,
With a cold one in my hand (Yeah!)

Sittin' pretty, right here in Suntan City

    Why We Dig It: The Georgia native brings spring break to your computer with his latest video. No matter what the weather, the singer-songwriter heats things up with ‘Suntan City,’ following the co-ed masses as they partake in the most-beloved college ritual. In the new clip, Luke performs for the beach bound fans, in addition to joining their ranks from time to time. Then, to cool things off a bit, he heads into the studio to give a behind-the-scenes look at the recording of the tune

Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
