Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Intro:
Dr. Bombay Dr. Bombay
Yo we got a patient in the front
that's ahhh... suffering from an oversized gluttius maximus
And she wanna know can you solve it...
Verse One:
Mistadobalina is a jack ass much like a donkey
And I'ma pin the tail on the funky
Has anybody seen Del? Head swelled
Cause I get paid well kickin much tail
Drink me a forty as I ride my rhinoceros
You don't like it? Well you gots to kiss
Where the sun don't shine, something like my behind
I lose a fan but I'ma be fine
Dr. Feelgood, didn't think I still could
Make it funky real good
Take it then I looped it
Make you say -- GLORYHALLASTUPID!!
The Motorbooty make you shake your rump
to the brand new D-Funk
Take a chunk cause I'm much like a hunk
to the dark skinned girls with funk in they trunk
Coming from around the way
It's Del better known as Dr. Bombay
Chorus:
Dr. Bombay
He don't stop and he don't play
Everytime I try to catch him he's always running away
(sing it, sing it, sing it)
Dr. Bombay
Could you find time and could you stay
Cause the funk is guaranteed to make my day
(It's, so, funky!!)
Verse Two:
Large as a black woman's gluttius maximus
And the question everybody's asking us
"Where'd you get your funk from"
A brother named George and some 151's
So Let's Take It To the Stage you suckers
I jam, and Mistadobalina eats smut
Back in the house with the crew Hieroglyphic
Now you know everything is terrific
Funk in the 1990's that's ironic
So grab you a sack of that chronic
Down with Da Lench Mob straight from the ghetto
But I'm under the sun in the meadow
Me and Miss Amazon sittin on my lap
Butt so big when she walk it clap
Doin the hoochie coochie in the forest
Y'all know who I am so girls sing the chorus
Chorus:
Dr. Bombay
He don't stop and he don't play
Everytime I try to catch him he's always running away
(Has anybody seen that...)
Dr. Bombay
Could you find time and could you stay
Cause the funk is guaranteed to make my day
(sing it, sing it, sing it)
Dr. Bombay
He don't stop and he don't play
Everytime I try to catch him he's always running away
(Dr. Bombay)
Verse Three:
Watch your watch, cause if your spouse calls
Del's gonna damn sure make a house call (hello?)
You peeped out my drawers on your fence
I'm a dog, so you might see paw prints (woof)
(Whattup Doc?) Wait, it ain't cool to jock
Cause you're real far from a ballerina
So ohhh ohhh, Mistadobalina
Freeze, and get up off your knees
Everything that Dr. Bombay say
Is guaranteed to make your day
So OOPS upside your head
I like Club Med hangin out with the dreads
And girl if you ain't got a germ
I won't hesitate to pull out my Funky Worm
But if you ain't down with Del funk
Cancel your appointment and please get the hell on (see-ya!!)
Cause I won't have fraudulent foes
under my nose, if you won't eighty-six the clothes
Get out the way, so I can save the day
Cause I'm Dr. Bombay
Chorus:
Dr. Bombay
He don't stop and he don't play
Everytime I try to catch him he's always running away
(Peace to the Boogiemen)
Dr. Bombay
Could you find time and could you stay
Cause the funk is guaranteed to make my day
(I hate having to wait)
Dr. Bombay
He don't stop and he don't play
Everytime I try to catch him he's always running away
(D-E-L and Hieroglyphics, hahahahaha)
Dr. Bombay
Could you find time and could you stay
Cause the funk is guaranteed to make my day
Dr. Bombay
He don't stop and he don't play
Everytime I try to catch him he's always running away
Dr. Bombay
Could you find time and could you stay
Cause the funk is guaranteed to make my day

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
