This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
So ya wanna dump out yo' trick bag
Ease on in a hip thang
But you ain't exactly sure what is hip
So you started to let your hair grow
Spent big bucks on your wardrobe
Somehow, ya know there's much more to the trip
What is hip?
Tell me, tell me, if you think you know
What is hip?
If you're really hip
The question, "Will it show?"
You're into a hip trip
Maybe hipper than hip
What is hip?
You became a part of a new breed
Been smokin' only the best weed
Hangin' out with the so called "Hippie set"
Seen in all the right places
Seen with just the right faces
You should be satisfied, but it ain't quite right
What is hip?
Tell me, tell me, if you think you know
What is hip?
If you're really hip
The question, "Will it show?"
You're into a hip trip
Maybe hipper than hip
What is hip?
Come on
Hipness is, what it is
Hipness is, what it is
Hipness is, what it is
Sometimes hipness is, what it ain't
You went an' found you a guru
In an effort to find you a new you
And maybe even raise your conscious level
While you're striving to find the right road
There's one thing you should know
"What's hip today, might become passé"
What is hip?
Tell me, tell me, if you think you know
What is hip?
If you're really hip
The question, "Will it show?"
You're into a hip trip
Maybe hipper than hip
What is hip?
Think about it y'all
Hipness is, what it is
Hipness is, what it is
Hipness is, what it is
Sometimes hipness is, what it ain't
What is hip?
Ah
What is hip?
I'd like to know
What is hip?
Is it in the style of your hair?
What is hip?
Is it in the clothes that you wear?
What is hip?
I'd like to know
What is hip?
I'd like to know
What is hip?
What is hip y'all? Hey
What is hip?
Hey, oh
What is hip?
What is hip y'all?
What is hip?
I wanna know
What is hip?
Ah
What is hip?
I wanna know what hipness is
Ease on in a hip thang
But you ain't exactly sure what is hip
So you started to let your hair grow
Spent big bucks on your wardrobe
Somehow, ya know there's much more to the trip
What is hip?
Tell me, tell me, if you think you know
What is hip?
If you're really hip
The question, "Will it show?"
You're into a hip trip
Maybe hipper than hip
What is hip?
You became a part of a new breed
Been smokin' only the best weed
Hangin' out with the so called "Hippie set"
Seen in all the right places
Seen with just the right faces
You should be satisfied, but it ain't quite right
What is hip?
Tell me, tell me, if you think you know
What is hip?
If you're really hip
The question, "Will it show?"
You're into a hip trip

Hipness is, what it is
Hipness is, what it is

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."

this song is AMAZING
You're tellin' me. I can't sit down when I hear this song.. you really have no choice but to groove along with it. Simply smashing.
"You became a part of a new breed. Been smokin only the best weed. Hangin' out with the so called Hippie set"
One of the best lines in any song. Every time i hear it it makes me smile. The instrumentalism of tower of power adds a lot to this song as well. The rhythm is perfect and the melodys great. The bass line in the background holds the song together very well. Love the main idea of the whole song too. Try and do what you do and be yourself, a little cliched but it works.
whenever i hear this song i always think of that episode of the drew carey show with all the dance numbers, and they did this one when lewis thought he wanted a tattoo...i love how it ends, too, when they show lewis shrugging and rubbing the tattoo he drew on his arm off with his thumb
Why does this song even have lyrics? T of P is so unearthly funky, why not just let the band groove for eight minutes, and skip the silly lyrics?
Tower of Power rules. I like the song meaning too and don't agree the lyrics don't add anything (despite how bad ass they play). The song meaning actually is relevant today like it was in the 70s - sometimes, being hip is NOT being a "hipster" and trying too hard. Just be yourself!
