    What the lyrics mean: Smack my bitch up (in slang – contrary to the explanation by many people) means to do something intensely, like being on stage (other possible explanations are reference to heroin use, attempts to generate shock value or just what it sounds like). As for what change my pitch up may mean, I have a few guesses, but am not sure at all – probably there’s no point at all in explaining lyrics like these.

    I agree with trphg, the meaning of the song can vary, but this is a great party song as well. Also, the video rocks! Very creative.

    "It sure as hell ain't sampled from 'an old Ultramagnetic MCs song' though " Err yes it is. Ultramagnetic MCs' Give the drummer Some - "Switch up, change my pitch up, smack my bitch up, like a pimp."

    Ever since the first time I heard this song it always made me think of a girl and a guy who are together, and the guy is rather abusive and doesn't realize what he's got, and what a beautiful girl he's with. During the mideastern chanting type part in the song, I've always seen that as representation of the girl's beauty, and then once again there's "smack my bitch up", reaffirming that he doesn't even see it. Or doesn't care. Either way.. I'm strange.

    Music videos are a visual representation of the audio of the song. The uncensored video is straight-up soft porn. Sex, drugs, girl-on-girl, Alchoholism, puking, and violence. My kind of video.

    I'm amused by the fact that this song with 2 lines of lyrics that really don't mean much can generate this much discussion. It's kind of cool actually. I love you guys.

    Anyway, last guy i asked said they were talking about their speakers, which seems to make sense, although he's hardly a reputable source.

    I doubt this is the case but I always kinda thought of it being a reference to changing the pitch of a sample (Change my pitch up) and then having it sound more female, therfore (Smack my bitch up).

    Personally, I find the juxtaposition of the lines interesting. "Change my pitch up" seems to be a term similar to a "Change of pace", but "Smack my bitch up" seems to be...falling back into the same old groove. So really the whole song is a contradiction in itself.

    Or maybe it's just a really ravin' good dance song. (:

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

Gentle Hour
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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
