@[Heliamphora:53351] @[DanVitaleRocks:53352] - what a stupid thing to say, this is actually the reality here in Germany with mostly muslim and black people creating as many children as possible, because child welfare makes them rich (Puke out 4 kids and you get 12,080€ every year from the government add in welfare money because they of course don't work and support for the apartment you live in and you can easily make 25.000€ per year, which is more than some employees make), i guess that's the case in most modern, liberal countries where welfare is massive. And for the song: I too thought this was a weird woman who wanted another child, lol, you can tell that the song writers were from Swedistan and their language wasn't native english. |

| OutKast – Ms. Jackson Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
It's amusing how discussions about rap music usually go down the troll lane, people showing their lowlife roots, insults between each and everyone...you rarely see that here on other more popular songs, rock songs or even metal. I guess some cliches are just true. I don't like rap, i don't like hip hop but this is one of only a few (very few) songs out of the genre i like. At least it's not a "Hey yo, my dick is 5 meters wide and i smoke dope everyday and i got all dis bitches and i got all them cars and i'm the biggest gangsta from teh hood" shit but actually a honest look down at how those niggas live with fucking their lives up. I like the honesty in it. And the video is great with all the animals synchronized to the song. |

| Dio – Born on the Sun Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I interpret that song as autobiographical about Ronnie James Dio's past: There's a crack in the Rainbow - Dio was in Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow (which was nothing else than Elf (Dio's previous band) where Blackmore took over the guitarist spot) and after Blackmore threw Dio out there was a crack in the Band, it became shit afterwards There's a Hole in the Sky - A song from Black Sabbath (Sabotage, 1975) "You believed in something, now it's just a lie" - Dio believed in both band, was kicked out of both of them, at least the Sabbath kick-out was made out of lies (the infamous studio story during Live Evil). And it explains how Dio, despite all this didn't hide or ran in a circle of going back to past things but "ran", made step forward, that was his Solo band, creating successful albums (Holy Diver, Last in Line) A great song from a very underrated album (Lock up the Wolves, 1990) |

| Weird Al Yankovic – Smells Like Nirvana Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I always get a kick out of the parody as i completely despise Nirvana and especially Kobain (but too bad he killed himself, if not Nirvana would be known as a forgotten One-Hit Wonder today) Weird Al once again proves that he can turn even crap into Gold with hilarious lyrics and a great video on top of it. |

| Toto – Home Of The Brave Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| The lyrics are cringeworthy, it's patriotic Pro-USA Bullshit from a Band i never expected to sink so low and it's a shame because the music is great and the live versions are great, saw them live in Munich 2002 and the version they played there was just awesome. | |
| Toto – Hooked Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
A song that critisizes the superficial lifestyle, especially in the USA where Pimp my Car is popular and people aren't rated on their character but more about what they wear, if the have the newest iPod and other Gadgets. The hip crowd that parties, takes drugs and also about plastic surgery. Good song i think. |

| Toto – Goin' Home Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Good song. It was originally written in 1989 when the Band tried to get Bobby Kimball back as their singer. They recorded the song (released on the XX album) but after that Columbia/Sony intervened and Toto Fans had to endure Jean-Michel Byron as "singer". Joseph Williams (previous and current) singer of Toto released a version of the song with slightly different lyrics on one of his solo albums but i always thought that Goin' Home was about Kimball going back to Toto. |

| Toto – A Thousand Years Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think it's about nuclear war. "The air has changed, it's not like it once used to be" could refer to it, fall-out, everything has changed and that everything was 'lost in the blink of an eye'. People died as the line "One day for every live" (refers to the thousand years) says. Very dark (but not atypical, as songs about war, nuclear war and the cold war were very popular in the 80's) but a good song. |

| Deep Purple – Smooth Dancer Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Yeah, the lyrics attack Blackmore, Gillan at that point was more or less completely pissed off after the first recording session for Who do we think we are went so wrong and more and more tensions between the members arose. Great song, the only good one from WDWTWA in my oppinion. | |
| Deep Purple – Knocking At Your Back Door Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It's a wonder the american PMRC never went crazy over the song, it clearly references anal sex and oral sex (maybe even on the back side) with the "cunning linguist" "master of many tongues". I completely believe this song is a joke, it's a typical Ian Gillan song, he wrote many joke lyrics that were never meant to be taken serious (also did it before at Black Sabbath on the Born Again album) Great song. |

| Black Sabbath – Call Of The Wild Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It's the song "Hero" from Ozzy's 1988 "No Rest for the Wicked" album. That's why they changed it to avoid confusion. I don't think there's too much to interpret into the lyrics. As Tony Martin stated, he was basically left alone to write the lyrics and tried to make them sound like "Black Sabbath", which ended with a musically great album that has cheesy horror-movie lyrics. |

| Black Sabbath – Letters From Earth Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I'm not into religion or believing in god but i think the song is about a person who sees all the pain and death, war and sickness and prays to god. He doesn't belong here, because he's not a warmonger or criminal, he's a good person with faith, so he asks what would God do if he gets some Letters from Earth (showing life on Earth and what's going on) | |
| Guns N' Roses – My World Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I don't think there's much sense behind the lyrics as the story goes, Axl basically started and finished this thing (won't call it a song) after a load of 'shrooms, when his mind was somewhere. Tensions in the band arose because the other members weren't told that Axl included the song on the album. It's a drug induced trip and a experiment gone wrong. |

| Guns N' Roses – Sorry Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It's about Slash and that's pretty obvious. It's what Axl thinks about Slash, the "just shut up and sing" refers to Axl always saying that from day one Slash wanted to take over GN'R, as he once said "He came to the studio, took out my cassette and inserted his" and that Slash and propably the media or the other GN'R members thought that Axl would submit to this. "You tell them stories" is about Slash being a media whore (who he is, jumping from one interview to the next) and the "i kicked your ass" could be a metaphor for Axl kicking Slash out of the band and now owning all naming rights to GN'R, he as won most of the lawsuits regarding the band, the song catalogue and the names. While the song is pretty hateful (I think Slash's "answer" Crucify the Dead is a lot more positive) it's a good song, in my oppinion the best on CD. Musically it's like Black Sabbath with a bit Pink Floyd in it. |

| Guns N' Roses – Catcher In The Rye Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I always thought it was about the Book Catcher in the Rye, i guess in some ways Axl can relate to the main character. It's a shame that on the Chinese Democracy album they deleted Brian Mays wonderful Solo and rather let Brian Finck play some crap, it destroys what would be a great song. |

| Guns N' Roses – One In A Million Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I always wondered why there's so much controversay about the song. It isn't really racist and Axl doesn't hate "niggers". I see it as this: The song is centered around a "small-town white boy". Now as that implies, he was raised somewhere in a very old fashioned town, probbably only white people who then still thought it was 1950's USA where black people should be slaves. The boy was raised that way and because he never saw anything different, thought that's the right way. Now he arrived in L.A. and saw all those immigrants and black people, that run stores and businesses instead of being slaves or just not in 'his' country. He can't understand it, can't cope with it and therefore reacts with hate towards these people. |

| Guns N' Roses – Nightrain Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
It's probably my favourite song. I love it so much that on one of my first USA vacation i even was on the look for that Night Train Wine and i regreted it the next day. What cheap, nasty stuff, today i rather drink Jack Daniel's while listen to it :D Great songs and one example why GN'R was so different than the rest of the 80's Hard Rock Band, they came from the street, lived there and experienced this life and then wrote songs about it. Best performance of the song was from that legendary concert at the Ritz in 1988. |

| Ugly Kid Joe – Same Side Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I could be wrong but it's a song how we all should just live with each other, without hate, prejudice and racism. It's the song with a strong funk sound, usually more connected to black music, showing that they "shufflin' to the same beat" even though the musicians are white. It's a good song. | |
