| Nelly – Air Force Ones Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| This is the most culturally significant song of our times! :D | |
| The Lonely Island – I'm on a Boat Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This is the most important and culturally relevant song of the 21st century. Look at them with their flippy-floppies, climbing buoys, and molesting mermaids; they clearly *are* on a boat! | |
| Steely Dan – Hey Nineteen Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Also, the time frame for this song was 1967 at Bard College, Annendale, NY. Donald Fagen was 19 at the time. It can't be an inter-generational thing unless he's reversed positions (he's the young girl and the protagonist is actually an older woman). | |

I've always interpreted this as if he's the one rejecting her. She's "young and willing", but he shakes his head at the fact that she doesn't even know who Aretha Franklin is. The part about "please take me along" kinda puzzles me tho'. Maybe he's up for a cheap fling, but doesn't want to mislead her. |

Check it out: the actual CD version of the song. Notice the change in the bridge. http://yarrrpr.com/sounds/elephantbones.mp3 |

| That Handsome Devil – Elephant Bones Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The CD version doesn't have the guitar solo in it. When it hits the bridge the sound goes "cleaner" with just the drums and organ, and then the lyrics come in "Don't need no headstone to be dead in a hole they gonna dig you up like some elephant bones". I actually prefer that version. I guess they put in the guitar for GH 3 so you'd have something to do during the bridge. |

| Big Country – In A Big Country Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
To me, this song can be summed up by a scene in "Shawn of the Dead": They're sitting in the Winchester and Shaun has just been dumped by Liz. Ed looks at him seriously and says (ironic foreshadowing) "Look at the bright side; it's not the end of the world" |
|
| The Pretenders – Back On The Chain Gang Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| From now on for me this song will be about filling sandbags in Cedar Rapids. | |
| Rick Astley – Never Gonna Give You Up Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This song means that I just got Rick Roll'd. | |
| Vertical Horizon – Everything You Want Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Another vote for unrequited love. And her "angels that won't return" is her unrequited love for another guy. Such is the way of life; That woman wants me but I want this woman who wants another guy who wants another girl... :D |

| Bob Marley and the Wailers – Could You Be Loved? Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
^ addendum to above "Love would never leave us alone In the darkness there must come out to light" What was experienced wasn't love. |
|
| Bob Marley and the Wailers – Could You Be Loved? Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Right now it seems to speak to the lovelorn and rejected. "You ain't gonna miss your water Until your well runs dry No matter how you treat him The man will never be satisfied" It poses the question *can* you be loved, which is something that goes through the mind of those who have been used and discarded. The answer, once attained, brings forth the moment to "say something". At least that's my take. |

| The Urge – It's my turn to fly Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Titan AE. This song is a direct interpretation of Cale Tucker's role in the movie. | |
| Foo Fighters – Another Round Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Another Dave Grohl girlfriend-with-HPD song. Anyone who's been in a long-term relationship with someone like this can relate. | |
| Foo Fighters – Aurora Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| You know...IMO...:D | |
| Foo Fighters – Aurora Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song, like many of Dave's songs, is about his relationship with a woman with Histrionic Personality Disorder. What this one means is that he understands now why she behaves the way she does (although she doesn't), feels more sympathy for her plight and less resentment for the damage she has caused him, and hopes that someday she'll be fixed and they can try again. |
