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.
Uh, yeah
This is for my motherfucking club heads
You feel me?
Ow
People, gangstas, and pimps and people
Smokin that deeper reefer
Up in the club with speakers
Hi hats, and bass and tweeters
DJs is droppin' needles
Sweat 'til I catch a fever
Call me the illest diva
Yo, I'm on fire
People go 'head and drink up
Get in the club, get fucked up
See me, you got get lucked up
Someone to touch and rub up
Show me some love, strip off your clothes, and take off your socks
The party's jumpin', I see something fine
Boy, I wanna kiss you, but I'm just too shy
Let me dance with you, let me wear you out
Here's a glass of orange juice, let's go X it out
The music's bangin', way down in my soul
When you dance behind me, I lose all control
Make me grind my hips, make me move my waist
When the music come on, you take my breath away
This is for my people, my party people
This is for my people, my motherfucking people
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down)
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down, down)
This is for my people, my party people (what? Uh)
This is for my people, my ecstasy people (huh?)
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down)
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down, uh)
I'm at the bar now, and I'm buying drinks
And I got this feeling, and it's all over me
I wanna dance with you and lick your face
Meet me on the dance floor to feel some ecstasy
The vibe is right now, and I'm 'bout to score
Mr. DJ can you play this joint once more
'Cause I see the man I want, I want him right away
Look him right in his face and say dance with me
This is for my people, my party people
This is for my people, my motherfucking people
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down)
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down, get on down)
This is for my people, my party people (say what? Uh)
This is for my people, my ecstasy people (huh?)
Come on (come on), get down (get down)
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down)
Freak that, come here, baby, grab me from the back
Baby, you the mack, and you know that
Put the needle on the track, skip that
Flip that, bring the beat back
Oh, freak that, come here, baby, grab me from the back
Baby, you the mack, and you know that
Put the needle on the track
Skip that, flip that, bring the beat back

Can't stand when a nigga fuckin'up my plans (uh)
All night, duckin' him while I'm tryin' to dance
Drunk, and his breath stink, freaky with his hands
Cocky with his mouth, please, like he got a fan
Can't stand when a bitch all on my side
I don't even know her and she all up in my light
Givin' me the side eye like she want to fight
Philly known for boxing bitch better get it right
Can't stand when a DJ fuckin' up the song
Know I'm tryin' to shake my ass all night long
Cuttin' up the same shit all night long
High 'fore I got there, now my shit is blown
Can't stand when it ain't jumpin' like I want
Bouncer tried to stop my fun, take away my blunt
I don't give a fuck, he ain't gon' take away my fun
See him when this shit is over, make the nigga run, uh
This is for my people, my party people
This is for my people, my motherfucking people
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down)
Come on (come on), get down (get, get on down, down)
This is for my people, my party people (say what? Uh)

Holiday

Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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,
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.
I think this song is self explanitory. It's all about being Fu*ked up and clubbing and having a good time. It's one of those songs that you love to listen to when you are stoned. It's a wonderful piece of work by Missy, Eve, and Hook. "Can't stand when it aint jumpin like I want Cats that try to stop my fun, take away my blunt" Live it up, roll a blunt.
ummm, "HOOK" isn't one of the rappers
ummm, i think HOOK means chorus, right?
yeah, that's what i thought it meant
this thread is dead .. why ? i know lots of people like missy ,,, maybe its named something else .. i dunno .. but this song is my memory of when i tryed ''E'' ''X '' whateva u may call it ...'
hehe...haha...BHAHAHAA..."TristarFlier", keep rollin them blunts yeh...HAHEbaha
This song is off the hook!!! Keep it goin Missy***
