| Big Star – O, Dana Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I'm surprised that this lyric is often butchered, especially since nonsense words ("We do our goo goo koos") are usually cited in place of something that makes much more sense: "I'm forevermore fighting with Steven; We do argue beaucoups" (meaning "a lot," as in Ringo Starr's lp title, Beaucoups of Blues). The "Steven" reference is interetsting: is it "Steven" or "Stephens" as in Jody, the band's drummer? "Busted across the bridge" is probably a reference to scoring drugs(?)in Arkansas, which is across the Mississippi River from Memphis, where the band (and whomever the song was about) was based. Is the "She's got a magic wand" as blatant a reference as I think -- she's going to play with herself -- or is it meant to be a hypodermic syringe? |
