Stay away from the chili verde
Unless you want to get blown away
Treat the spider with a little respect
You take the heat – it's gonna bite back

Blast Off at Cape Canaveral
Toilet seat is your launching pad
Blast Off at Cape Canaveral
4-3-2-1 Blast Off!

Capsaicinoids are a thing to avoid
Unless you want to burn in that ‘roid
We'll be laughing and rolling on the floor
When we hear you screaming through that door

Blast Off at Cape Canaveral
All Systems Go!
Blast Off at Cape Canaveral
4-3-2-1 Blast Off!

Jalapeño, habañero
Burning all yo' hair down there-o
Picinu, vindaloo
They're gonna getcha, they're gonna getcha, too

You know those red things in the Kung Pao
Don't say I didn't warn you now
Take the time to pick them out
Or the spider gets grouchy
And it's time to countdown!

Blast Off at Cape Canaveral
Houston, we have a problem…
Blast Off at Cape Canaveral
4-3-2-1 Blast Off!

    Pretty funny song about how chili (and other assorted spicy foods) gives you the runs. Unsure of why they used Cape Canaveral in particular, but I'm sure you pick up on the metaphor.

    I had no idea what this song was about until I listened to it with headphones on the way to school today. Then I just started cracking up.

    i enjoy the line 'Capsaicinoids are a thing to avoid Unless you want to burn in that roid'

    I think milo is a biochemist so he might have experience in that stuff.

Holiday
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
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.
