| The Offspring – Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) Lyrics

I realize I'm about 12 years late, but did anyone else notice that Pretty Fly is slightly modified Come Out and Play from Offspring Smash...the lyrics are completely different, and the chord progression is slightly changed. But the song structure and the guitar riffs are the exact same. |

While this song may have what appear to be drug references to stoners and others who are so drugged up that they can't think clearly, the song was written as a children's song pure and simple. After rumors that Peter Yarrow was actually singing about marijuana, the band started performing the Star Spangled Banner at concerts stopping at different times to explain how past lines could be about drugs, to show how ludicrous the claimes were. |

At the end of Nuthin' But a G Thang, Snoop ends it with "So just chill to the next episode" Whether the two intended to do a follow up originally or not, i have no idea. But this song marks Dre's return to the mainstream, and who better to do it with then Snoop Dogg. |

'THE LAST WORD (PROBABLY) ON "AMERICAN PIE"
Dear Cecil:
As you can imagine, over the years I have been asked many times to discuss and explain my song "American Pie." I have never discussed the lyrics, but have admitted to the Holly reference in the opening stanzas. I dedicated the album American Pie to Buddy Holly as well in order to connect the entire statement to Holly in hopes of bringing about an interest in him, which subsequently did occur.
This brings me to my point. Casey Kasem never spoke to me and none of the references he confirms my making were made by me. You will find many "interpretations" of my lyrics but none of them by me. Isn't this fun?
Sorry to leave you all on your own like this but long ago I realized that songwriters should make their statements and move on, maintaining a dignified silence. --Don McLean, Castine, Maine
--CECIL ADAMS' |

| Alan Jackson – Where I Come From Lyrics
| 23 years ago

Alright so i don't listen to a lot of Country and this song is one of the reasons why. The lines "where i come from tryin' to make a livin Workin hard to get to heaven" really get under my skin. I hate to bring North and South into this because that issue should be in the past, but Alan Jackson i feel is implying that the North is lazy and unmotivated. That and the entire song seems to be saying that his way of life is the best and he has little respect for the way other people live |
