Usher – Twork It Out Lyrics 12 years ago
Wow, who added the lyrics for this song? They're aweful! The author couldn't have been THAT stupid? Maybe intentionally so. You notice the song is called "Twork it out" and yet the word "twork" or phrase "twork it out" does not appear once in the author's lyric write-up? Anyway, this user, "better half" screwed up quite a bit.

Led Zeppelin – Hot Dog Lyrics 15 years ago
I love hearing different performances of Led Zeppelin songs and catching Robert Plant switching up the lyrics all the time, like in old versions of Dazed & Confused

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Coffee Shop Lyrics 17 years ago
Yeah, basically a sex anthem, but absolutely delightful and unique in its incarnation in the era of seminihilistic* depravity that was One Hot Minute.

"I am just a lousy bum
Searching for the unknown crumb"

"Confucius might have been confused
And Buddha might have blown a fuse"

*(yet very precisely meaningful, i.e. not nihilistic per se)

Bryan Adams – Summer Of '69 Lyrics 18 years ago
plain and simple, the best part of this song to me, now that I've grown many years, is near the end, where Bryan Adams goes into this screaming guitar solo, as he says, "it was the summer of 69, ohhh yeah, me and my baby in a 69" that is the most truly passionate thing about sex I've ever heard, the guy expressing that sexual bliss super well
yeah! when you find that sexual goddess just for you and you attain that bliss, whew!

Billy Idol – Wasteland Lyrics 18 years ago
The few critics who gave attention to this cd lambasted it, but I think those critics are a bunch of fucktards, its five stars, its genius, intelligent and a good synthesis of a lot of different sounds...
better than any sci-fi novel in my opinion, really pleasurable and truly cathartic listen, the future seen in the past (it's already kind of an old cd). This is a great opener to the cd (its track 2, but the first track is one of those... bracer tracks, if you know what I mean)

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Grand Pappy Du Plenty Lyrics 18 years ago
Hey Mrs. Sidekik, what if I don't have the original CD in its remastered version? why not post the comments here itself, it not in the entirety, than relevant snippets? c'mon, that's not copyright infringement, people need to know that stuff... this is a songmeanings database!
anyways, yeah, this song is a huge mystery to me, I feel all these things and I'm not sure if its coming from the chilis, andy gill, and it's just, whoa! this progressive rock and western sound, that considered along with the whole of the chili peppers is all the more stirring

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Mommy, Where's Daddy? Lyrics 18 years ago
does anyone know if anthony and flea sing on the album version of this song? I think I've heard it b4, the album version, and it's not either of them. And if that's the case, I wonder who it is? the two voices.

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Sikamikanico Lyrics 18 years ago
LYRICS:
clearly sounds like "soulforsaken" funky monks
also, it's tinseltown
additionally, it clearly sounds like "immortalizing/immortalize me on the spot"
also it's "yo' mind receives my radio wave"

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Dani California Lyrics 18 years ago
all of the albums' lyrics come with the liner notes, so there's no debate... except sometimes, not for this album, but earlier albums--well, whatever, nevermind.

U2 – Zoo Station Lyrics 18 years ago
yeah, I wonder what "Zoo" station, in particular, means, as opposed to "piccadily circus" station for example... maybe society with its overflow of media is just a zoo, I don't know, zoo just means life, and now these guys at their point in their life, with their new album and their understanding of life feel so empowered, to the next day, they feel like life is before them, in all its glory, like a zoo... this song always makes me think of the morning, like, the beginning of going after things, like you've got this new enthusiasm. The song definitely represents the new enthusiasm the band felt with this radically new album (at the time for them). Time is a train, makes the future the past--it's such an optimistic and forward looking song. There is always tomorrow to look forward to, and the next station is life, the next station is zoo station...

Timberland – The Way I Are (featuring Keri Hilson & D.O.E.) Lyrics 18 years ago
I always dance to this when I hear it, on da radio or in the club, but the one thing that bothers me a bit is the whole "the way I are" business... its an artistic liberty that doesn't sound very good...

George Clinton – Atomic Dog Lyrics 18 years ago
yes! according to some guy's myspace profile, it's "dogmatic," and now that the word is supplied--exactly! see, for a long time, I thought it was, "untied dog in a tied back society," that would be the theme of it, but dogmatic fits! yes, I'm one of the dogs!

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Fortune Faded Lyrics 18 years ago
This song is not just about Anthony's past drug use or about the nature of drug addiction, but a contemplation of future drug use.

He's a wise old man now, clean since 2000, and he uses chess as a metaphor for thinking about these things, "moves ahead," like his risk factors, losing his queen or antidrug, whatever it might be, girlfriend, dog, bandmates, etc. He leads us on to the fact that he may be positing himself in this when he says "a funny thing, the king who gets himself assassinated;" a funny thing cause he knows something about that and is feeling the weight of this issue, personally, writing the song.

Although the bulk of the song seems impersonal, I think its just there to offplay his own contemplations, which are revealed clearly in the chorus.

"Nevermind the consequences of the crime this time, my fortune faded" seems to be a what if, if he were to relapse at that moment or in the near future. "Nevermind the consequences" is the reckless destruction that comes fresh anew with each relapse, when you've started and you can't stop, a feeling very much tied to the now, but I think "this time" really means "this time" and not all his past relapses. And clearly, fortune faded is referring to him, as it's "my" fortune faded, he is the king on top whose got everything going for him.

The Beatles – Blue Jay Way Lyrics 18 years ago
Oh yeah, I remember! Now, I read on wikipedia it was about not the band members but some visitors getting literally lost on their way to the house, but the first time I heard the song, I read it differently (but I wasn't completely aware of all the lyrics in the rest of the song).
The fog wasn't just literal but figurative. The band is in the house, in America, and they take LSD, but there's a dark side to LSD, too, and they have these self doubts and personal demons. "And my friends have lost their way," is about, basically, George is reflecting upon how the other members of the band are a little lost, with whatever strange new revelations the drug or whatever brings. So the first two lines are the setting of the song story. And I don't know what the rest of the song would be, this strange plea or something.

The Beatles – Blue Jay Way Lyrics 18 years ago
yeah, I always felt there was double meaning. Be long versus belong was one obvious example. Not belonging, yeah... of George Harrison by himself one night in Los Angeles...
Another is "well be over soon, they said." I thought a double meaning might also be about the band being "over..."
the line referring to not just the friends of theirs coming over late (or whoever it was, the other band members) but about critics of the group or just this possibility of volatility and disbanding.
Now, that may not be true, but what is so trippy about a lot of the beatles songs, especially this one, is the use of pronouns: "they", and these repetitive lines and such. Yeah, the first time I listened to this song, I had a compilation going, I was playing it after their wonderful jam "flying" and this was a total downer song... until you actually get to know the lyrics and understand the song. I like this song, it's so cool how its Los Angeles and the famous house where the Beatles first did acid (or so legend goes?) and where the Red Hot Chili Peppers later recorded BSSM! right? yes, I think so.

Red Hot Chili Peppers – If You Have to Ask Lyrics 18 years ago
I think the original question asked of Mr. Amstrong, "what is swing," but yes, of course, Mr. Armstrong, famous jazz musician, and of course jazz was a strong influence with flea, the bass guitarist and the guy who set the funk grooves for the group//and of course, funk music being in the vein of jazz music, from jazz to soul to funk. Not about any particular of those genres, but just "groovin."
So, essentially, while the chili peppers were always vocalizing their funk philosophy of life and music in interviews, the louis armstrong quote applies to them, too.
