The Velvet Underground – Sweet Jane Lyrics 19 years ago
just an irrelevant sidenote: "jane says" wasn't a reference to this song, it's about a prostitute that the band knew, from which they take their name

Ben Folds – Rockin' The Suburbs Lyrics 19 years ago
i was listening to this and suddenly understood what the one verse

in a haze these days
i pull up to the stoplight
i can feel that something's not right
i can feel that someone's blasting me
with hate and bass
sending dirty vibes my way
cause my great great great great grandad
made someone's great great great great grandaddy slaves
it wasn't my idea
it wasn't my idea
it never was my idea
i just drove to the store
for some preparation h

means. people have already touched on this, but for a blinding flash of the obvious: the part about hate and bass and dirty vibes is refering to an the feeling an uptight white kid gets when some black people pull up next to him blasting rap music out the windows. he goes on to say that its not his fault their ancestors were slaves, he didn't ask to have his eardrums smacked with the loud bass beats, he just wanted go get some preparation h

Rancid – Roots Radicals Lyrics 19 years ago
Roots Radical is a Jimmy Cliff song. It's totally different from this one, but it may very well have inspired this one, since RAncid does a cover of "the Harder They Come" which is also by Jimmy Cliff

Ramones – Chinese Rock Lyrics 19 years ago
Arty is a reference to Arturo Vega, just thought I'd throw that out there. Also what happened was Dee Dee and Richard Hell wrote it, Dee Dee took it home and showed it to the rest of the guys, but they refused to play it because it was about drugs

Ramones – 53rd & 3rd Lyrics 19 years ago
Most of you are stupid
53rd and 3rd is an interesection in NYC where lots of male prostitutes hung around trying to "turn a trick" (catch the eye of a john)

In this case, the whore was a green beret In vietnam. He stands on the corner, but never gets picked. When he finally does, he took out his razor blade and did what God forbade (he killed the john) to prove that he isn't a sissy, and now the cops are after him
