have you heard, he's on his way
i've been counting down the days
finally we'll have some fun, he's got hugs for everyone
word is out, and we can't wait
things are gonna be so great
once phillipe is on the scene, everything is peachy clean

oh phillipe, oh phillipe, you bring us very special joy
dressed like a bumblebee, with your special kind of glee
oh phillipe, oh phillipe, you're a very special boy
cause you're squeaky clean, standing on the drum machine

when im sad, feeling blue
you're so rad, needing you
when im down, you come through
don't you frown, i've got you
when im sad (hugs), feeling blue (hugs)
you're so rad (hugs), needing you (hugs)
when im down (hugs), you come through (hugs)
don't you frown (hugs), i've got you (hugs!)

here comes, a special, here comes a very special
here comes, a special, here comes a very special boy

there are lots of boys around, the special ones are very rare
there aren't many to be found, we've been looking everywhere
things were starting to look great, until we hear about phillipe
we're in need of desperate cheer, don't give up hope he's almost here

oh phillipe, oh phillipe, you bring us very special joy
dressed like a bumblebee, with your special kind of glee
oh phillipe, oh phillipe, you're a very special boy
cause you're squeaky clean, standing on the drum machine

when im sad, feeling blue
you're so rad, needing you
when im down, you come through
don't you frown, i've got you
when im sad (hugs), feeling blue (hugs)
you're so rad (hugs), needing you (hugs?)
when im down (hugs), you come through (hugs)
don't you frown (hugs), i've got you (hugs!)

here comes, a special, here comes a very special
here comes, a special, here comes a very special
here comes, a special, here comes a very special boy

have you heard, he's on his way
i've been countin down the days
finally we'll have some fun, he's got hugs for everyone
oh phillipe, oh phillipe, you bring us very special joy
dressed like a bumblebee, with your special kind of glee
oh phillipe, oh phillipe, you're a very special boy
cause you're squeaky clean, standing on the drum machine (he's got lots of hugs for everyone) x2
oh phillipe, oh phillipe, you bring us very special joy
dressed like a bumblebee, with your special kind of glee (he's got lots of hugs for everyone)
oh phillipe, oh phillipe, you're a very special boy
cause you're squeaky clean, standing on the drum machine

    this song is about a mentally disabled kid who gives good hugs. that might be why if you listen to the hugs people in the background sound really odd. why else would someone dress like a bumblebee and bel? special/special ed?

Mountain Song
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."

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
