Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you
We got some work to do now
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you
We need some help from you now

Come on Scooby-Doo
I see you, pretending you got a sliver
You're not fooling me
'Cause I can see, the way you shake and shiver
You know we've got a mystery to solve

So Scooby-Doo is ready for your act
Don't hold back
And Scooby Doo, if you come through
You're gonna have yourself a Scooby snack
That's a fact

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you
You're ready and you're willing
We can count on you Scooby-Doo
I know you'll catch that villain

    This is probably one of the best songs ever.

    When listening to this song initially, It was difficult to divulge a real understanding of what the writer is trying to communicate through his incredibly artistic lryics.

    Upon closer examination of the song after breaking down the several different points he trys to make, the listener can determine the following:

    The repetition of the line "Scooby-Dooby(Alluding to Marijuana?)-Doo, where are you?" isn't asking so much for the actual location of Scooby-Doo, but more for his standing on the current zany, or cockamamy, if you will, situation. The first verse, stating openly that Scooby and his friends have "got some work to do now" is meant to let Scoob know that his friends are counting on him to come through for them and help them solve the latest mystery they've embarked on. The second verse gets a little more intense as Scooby's friends, in a somewhat joking manner, let him know that they don't have time for his cowardly side to get the best of him. Luckily, in the third verse, the mood is lightened slightly by moving on to the fact that once everything is said and done, and they catch their villain, Scooby will assuredly get his just rewards, and that's a fact. Finally, in the last verse we discover that despite the occasional cowardice discussed in previous verses, Scooby's friends know that, because he is nearly always ready and willing to do so, they can count on him to "catch that villain."

    umm.. sorry Nasty x Girl, but i'll have to disagree with you there. This is an emotional song and i take it very seriously.

    I do thank you for your information about the scooby snacks though.

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.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

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.
