Would like to just let yourselves go

And if you're dirty, then go take a bath.

Help yourself to a cracker, with a spread of cheddar cheese,
Have a neck bone, you don't have to say please

See a guy you like: just grab 'I'm in the biscuits!
And doowutchyalike.

basement, or block party, car stereo, stoop, or at any other social
gathering, we will now allow the beat to continue, and proceed to give
you more of what you like. This message has been brought to you by the
makers of the way we swing, and the underground talkhowyalike posse.

[Ah, ah, ah, I feel like a nice big bowl of cereal, icy cold milk]
[Daddy, can I eat some ice cream?]
[Look, I told you kid, eatwutchyalike, ok?]
Now the beat goes on 'til the break of dawn,
And just peep this, y'all, 'cause we're singin' a song,
And doowutchyalike, yeah doowutchyalike
And since you came here you gotta show and prove,
And do that dance, until it don't move,

Like I said, sometimes we bite
Now we're all gettin' stupid, and actin' a fool,
Anything that ya really want to do is cool,
So, Goldfingers, cutwutchyalike
[Now let me tell you who I am...Ah shit...]
Now if you're hungry, get yourself something to eat,
And if you're dirty, then go take a bath,
And doowutchyalike.
Stetsasonics, adjust for the hip-hop fans,
And since we're not your average everyday rap band,
Yo, Pianoman, playhowyalike
{piano solo}

Just act a fool, it's okay if you drool,
'Cause everybody's gonna strip, and jump in the pool,
[Wait a minute, wait a minute, don't take your clothes off yet, not yet,
wait 'til we get home]
Now if you wear corrective shoes and you got big bunyons,
Toenails smell and look like onions,
Don't doowutchyalike--
Go see a foot doctor tonight!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, everybody doowutchyalike

Ooh, ooh, I see guys and girls dancin', ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, I see, I see, I see guys and girls dancin', ooh, ooh
Ah, everybody doowutchyalike,
Ooh, ooh, I see guys and girls dancin', ooh, ooh

Straight hair, curled, casual and glamor,
A shy girl, or loud like a bama.
From Connecticut, or from Louisiana,
Bad table ettiqutte, too much chatter,
Very well spoken, or real bad grammer,
I minority token, a brother in the slammer,
A free civilian with a house in Santa Ana,
If ya got a million, and live in Atlanta,
If you got a weak bladder, or can't climb a ladder,
What we're sayin' is, it really doesn't matter,
I need a word that sounds like "atta"
Slipped on a peel of banana,
Doowutchyalike.
[Yeah, cool, gettin' stupid, once again, you got the sound of the
underground. Baby dope is in the house.]
[Boyyy!!]
[Are we puttin' things in check, Baby D?]
[Too stupid check]
[I'm wit' it. Yo Dave, let's show 'em some old school]
It makes no sense just standin' around,
Come on everybody, let's all...[Hang out]
Yeah, and doowutwelike,
From a lime to a lemon, a lemon to a lime,
Come on, young ladies, let's have...[Good times]
And doowutwelike.
Now, I can sing, I can dance, I'm the king of romance,
Are you sweet young ladies gonna give me a chance,
To doowutchyalike?
And get that thing packed tonight.
Vanessa Williams, ooh, you're so divine,
Just wanted to put your name in my rhyme,
And doowutchyalike,
Yeah, everybody doowutchyalike.
[Hey, how 'bout you and me just go in the back room right now? Ok? just
me and you]

Ooh, ooh
[Yo, don't take your clothes off, not yet]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Gowhereyalike, and since you came here you gotta show and prove]
I see, I see, I see guys and girls dancin'
[Sometimes I blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah]
I see, I see, I see guys and girls dancin'
[If you're fat, hungry, dirty, and need to take a bath: go wash your feet]
I see, I see, I see, I see, I see guys and girls dancin'
I see, I see, I see, I see, I see guys and girls dancin'
[Just buggin' in the place to be, you got the sound of Shock G]
End the record howwelike!

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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,

Magical
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Album art
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.
