| Reba McEntire – The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
A lyrical and fictional story told in a young woman's point of view. On his way back to his hometown Georgia from Candletop, a newly-wed man meets his best friend Andy Wo-Lo at Web's Bar. Andy sits him down to deliver the bad news that his new bride has been cheating on him with Seth Amos. Naturally, the guy starts showing signs of violent rage, even before Andy adds his confession that he himself has also slept with his best friend's woman. Andy and the betrayed groom leave the bar and their friendship behind. The cheating bride is nowhere to be found. Her husband goes home to find the only thing that their (his and the narrator's) father had left them: a gun. He sets off with the intent to kill his ex-best-friend Andy. Upon arriving at Andy's house, the man realizes that someone else (with small footprints) had already been there. Andy was already dead. The Georgia patrol had been around that area earlier and fired a random shot when he heard a disturbance. The Mystery: Who killed Andy? The judge dismisses a quick trial where he finds the narrator's older brother (newlywed groom) guilty of Andy's murder, even though he was innocent. The town hung an innocent man. No lawyer could have saved him; the judge was unfair during the trial. The traitorous wife was also murdered, except her body was never found. It was the narrator, his sister, who murdered her brother's best friend and her brother's wife. Quite poetic, if you ask me. |

| Elvis Presley – Burning Love Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
It' a written by Dennis Linde. Elvis merely performed it. Yet it was one of his most famous pieces. This is funny: "In 2005, an Australian woman stabbed her partner in the back, thigh, and shoulder with a pair of scissors because he played the song too many times. His injuries were classified as "non-life threatening."" True Story. |

| Elvis Presley – Blue Suede Shoes (Carl Perkins cover) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This is 1 of the first rock n roll songs ever recorded. First done by Carl Perkins, then Elvis, then the Beatles, Johnny Cash, and followed by 6 others. The first 2 lines are based on a classic children's rhyme. Elvis recorded his version of this song in 1956, waiting until his friend Perkins' version had left the charts. |

| The Black Eyed Peas – My Humps Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
THE FEMALE PIMP: Since no one has mentioned it yet... This disgusting song takes on the tone of the female pimp, talking about her hump as guys would talk about their cock. Her body has got him spending his time and money on her. No depth at all, it's simply meant as a sexified dance song. I'm all for the feminists and the switch of the gender roles. But seriously. This song is more disgusting than men when they're talking about their body. |

| Gwen Stefani – Hollaback Girl Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Disliked the song when I first heard it... still hate it even now. Not into the cheerleading beat, the arrogant lyrics, or the dumbass comebacks that repeat over and over until you want to pound something. Fake. Pseudo-toughness. No depth. Not fun. No meaning. No talent whatsoever. Rather annoying. |

| Dashboard Confessional – Vindicated Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
A bit of credit toward the spidery symbolism... Whether or not this song was written to suit the spiderman or if the chicken came before the egg... Check out the spiderish connotations: Hope Dangles on a string Like slow-spinning redemption Winding in and winding out When I first heard the song, I didn't see the video first so I didn't even know that it was about Spiderman and his love, whatever. I saw and imagined... something, hanging on spidery strings, dangling, in midair, on the verge of breaking free. Like redemption... Like ... Vindication. |

| Aerosmith – Jaded Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Hey j-j-jaded, you got your mama's style But you're yesterday's child to me The girl could be Steven Tyler's (Aerosmith's) daughter, Liv Tyler. The girl in the video looks like a younger version of her. And a lot of his songs star her in it (i.e. "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing"). You might know Liv Tyler from LOTR, as the elf Arwen. Jaded - she's so jaded that she's never given the chance to go through the struggles of life, to live it. |
