This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Aim for the body rare, you'll see it on TV
The worst thing in 1954 was the Bikini
See the girl on the TV dressed in a Bikini
She doesn't think so but she's dressed for the H-Bomb
(For the H-Bomb)
I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for
I knew I'd get what I asked for
Aim for the country fair you read it in the papers
The worst happens any week a scandal on the front page
See the happy pair smiling close like they are monkeys
They wouldn't think so but they're holding themselves down
(Hold themselves down)
I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for
I knew I'd get what I asked for
I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for
I knew I'd get what I asked for
Aim for politicians fair who'll treat your vote hope well
The last thing they'll ever do act in your interest
Look at the world through your Polaroid glasses
Things'll look a whole lot better for the working classes
(Working classes)

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
"The worst thing in 1954 was the Bikini" is not a reference to swimsuit fashion, but rather to atomic bomb testing on Bikini Island in 1954.
I found the following info:
From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954
March 1, 1954 - Nuclear testing: Officials announce that an American hydrogen bomb test had been conducted on Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean
Also from Wikipedia.org:
bikini - (lowercase 'b') women's two-piece swimsuit
Bikini - (uppercase 'B') Island and Atoll in Pacific Ocean.
The bikini swimsuit is named after Bikini Island, because the anticipated burst of excitement it would cause would be comparable to that of an atomic bomb exploding on Bikini Island.
i'd love to hear this song, i've only heard idlewild's version of it. its a brill song. x
It's one of THOSE kinds of songs, you know? I can't quite think of how to describe it, but by reading the lyrics you should be able to get it.
Man, I'd kill to see this live. It's just one of those songs. Everything about this song fits; it's the perfect Gang of Four song (thought not my favorite). Still, how can you not sing along?
BTW - this song kicks serious butt :) Crank up the volume for this one.
"She doesn't think so but she's dressed for the H-Bomb" is one of my favorite song lyrics.
To me the lyrics are kind of self explanatory, like WarAgainstBoys though I'd have a hard time explaining it. The closest I can get is to say it's more or less about a distorted view of entertainment and real issues. Like the line between real life and the media.
The song uses contradictory images of the bikini to expose the influence the media has to create a subversive message.
Timeless masterpiece
This is a very 80's song. It is very irreverent. It is criticizing the media for sugar coating everything. The metaphor that a type bathing suite is named for a super destructive bomb is brilliant. This song is great!!
