| The Kinks – Lola Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| The song is based on an incident Ray Davies observed. Davies friend picked up a transvestite and took him/her back to his apartment. But he was so drunk that even the next morning when his/her beard stubble started to show he did not care. | |

People....druggies....get a grip! This song is about sex! "Electric banana" was a yellow vibrator! "They call it mellow yellow" because the girls "get off" or have an orgasm with it. "Saffron" is his 14 year old girlfriend! |

| The Animals – House Of The Rising Sun Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
All good writing can be taken on many levels....the literal as well as the figurative. "I'm going back to New Orleans, to wear that ball and chain!" Literally it could mean I am a convict being sent by train to a chain gang in Louisiana. Figuratively it could be about resuming an addiction to sex or alcohol or drugs, or even being married, "wearing a ball and chain" as others have suggested. That is one of the things that makes this song great. The listener reads in their own interpretation. |
