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.
"Let's see your little penis"
It's a very little penis and I'm very happy to say
It's a little penis come to visit you today
Ugh, no its so small and you tried to take it
It's so its so
Small and you tried to take it
Na na na oh its so small and you tried to take it
To take it, but no
I grab the mic and then I let my rhymes flow
I grab the mic and then I let my rhymes flow
For you, I need to burn
We love the ho I'm dreamin' of
(To the kiddie porn) x9
No its so small and you tried to take na na na
Oh its so small and you tried to take it
To take it, but no
I grab the mic and then I let my rhymes flow
I grab the mic and then I let my rhymes flow
For you I need to burn
We love the ho I'm dreamin' ugh ugh ugh ugh of
Everything old is new again and again and again and
Again
No, I grab the mic and then I let my rhymes flow
I grab the mic and then I let my rhymes burn
It's a very little penis and I'm very happy to say
It's a little penis come to visit you today
Ugh, no its so small and you tried to take it
It's so its so
Small and you tried to take it
Na na na oh its so small and you tried to take it
To take it, but no
I grab the mic and then I let my rhymes flow
I grab the mic and then I let my rhymes flow
For you, I need to burn
We love the ho I'm dreamin' of
(To the kiddie porn) x9
No its so small and you tried to take na na na
Oh its so small and you tried to take it
To take it, but no
I grab the mic and then I let my rhymes flow
I grab the mic and then I let my rhymes flow
For you I need to burn
We love the ho I'm dreamin' ugh ugh ugh ugh of
Everything old is new again and again and again and
Again
No, I grab the mic and then I let my rhymes flow
I grab the mic and then I let my rhymes burn

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
BEST. BEGINNING. EVER.

"1st song off 1st record."
Wrong. Their first record was their self titled one back in '96.
No you're wrong. That album was just by Jimmy, with Steve helping out on one song. Tight is the first album by MSI as a band.
I agree! I will never grow tired of Mindless Self Indulgence... I think it's because their music is so out there in an awesome way
god, I love it :D
