| Freezepop – Tenisu no boifurendo Lyrics
| 17 years ago

I guess it's about a girl who has a crush on a guy who plays tennis. *shrugs*
xxgonexx, I'm still learning Japanese so I can't translate the whole thing, but heya means room. House is ie (and home is uchi). So the second-to-last stanza says,
But today it's raining
So (because of that) I'm in your home
You are very cute
I want to go to your room
I think the boy is teaching her how to play tennis and when it starts raining they go inside. It's kind of a sweet song :) |

@CanteenDave: Yes. Obviously.
I think that while many TMBG songs are full of deep meaning (even if they never have an "official" interpretation) this one is probably one to be taken literally. |

This song always reminds me of my amazing sixth- and seventh-grade social studies teacher, who taught us about the Mesopotamians and the Indus valley civilization.
LMAO @ "Except for Ashurbanipal who says my haircut makes me look like a Mohenjo-daroan." |

I always thought it was about a father and his teenage daughter, maybe I was taking "Could believe for all the world / That you're my precious little girl" too literally. Since no TMBG song has an official meaning, and I prefer my interpretation, I guess I'll keep it :p Especially since the father/daughter conflict is more relevant to my own life atm. |

I don't know jack about this artist, but I heard this song on Pandora and I liked it a lot. Not sure what it means, but it reminded me of the Proclaimer's song Letter to America. These guys have Scottish accents too, right? |

| Fountains of Wayne – Mexican Wine Lyrics

Does anyone else think think "he was killed in a cellular phone explosion" means he was killed in a terrorist attack? Bombs can be set off by calling a cell phone.
To be killed in a terrorist attack is terrible, but completely random -- just a result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It goes along with the whole theme of this song, namely, "shit happens, but life goes on." That's how I interpreted it, anyway :P |

They Might Be Giants are from New York. The point at the opposite end of the earth (where the bullet would come out if you fired a gun through a globe at New York) is somewhere in the Indian Ocean. Too bad, it would be interesting if there was a city there where one could look for an Ana Ng :) |
