Slinky (New Mix)

311

I was at this club
Minding my tea
I saw this fine young thing
So i thought that i would see.

I don't smoke, but i asked her for a cigarette. (that's lame!)
I know it's lame, but i haven't got a better one yet.
Check it out
You guess the rest
I'm not the type to `fess.
I sing this song cuz I tell you she's the best. You know.

That slinky girl
Is in my brain
Now i'll never be the same.
No one can ever see
What that slinky girl
Means to me.

Oh-oh So i'll just pretend
But i feel like..
(make it funky like this)

Ohh Macadocious
She's sweet and precocious
SHe's the one girl that i just dig
Love, yes, I'm not above this
You think that's wack?
Then bro you lack.
You bore me.
That macho crap makes me snore.
See me i'm all about the females, the women, the jewels of this world.
Those flowers like that slinky girl.

That slinky girl
Is in my brain
Now i'll never be the same.
No one can ever see
What that slinky girl
Means to me.

Oh-oh So i'll just pretend
But i feel like..

Break it down
311's in the house whether you like it or not 1990 whatever.

Here we go

Well i met her one night i'd seen her before
She stole my brain then she showed me the door
Girls that do me like that
Theres not many
But i met one, uh that's plenty.
I'm glad to say that she gets away.
Cuz she can move me and that's okay.
Has the power to turn paper inky
The girl has me and she's so ohh.

That slinky girl
Is in my brain
Now i'll never be the same
No one can ever see
What that slinky girl
Means to me.

Alright now help me out

Slinky girl
Is in my brain
Now i'll never be the same
No one can ever see
What that slinky girl
Means to me.

Oh-oh
I don't fear nothin
Here we go.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
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/

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
