The Mad Daddy

The Cramps

Standin' on the corner a-wearing my shades
Up walked the police and asked my name

I said, I am the Mad Mad Daddy
I am the Mad Mad Daddy
Ma ma ma ma ma ma Mad Mad Daddy
Ma ma ma ma ma ma Mad Mad Daddy
Let's go baby, let's go daddy!
I am the Mad Mad Daddy

You and Jane meet Jungle Jim
Hey baby, whatcha doin' with him?
Now I am the Mad Mad Daddy
I am the Mad Mad Daddy
Ma ma ma ma ma ma Mad Mad Daddy
Ma ma ma ma ma ma Mad Mad Daddy
Let's go baby, let's go daddy!
I am the Mad Mad Daddy

Six foot three with the feet on the floor
Hey baby whatcha waitin' for?
Now I am the Mad Mad Daddy
I am the Mad Mad Daddy
Ma ma ma ma ma ma Mad Mad Daddy
Ma ma ma ma ma ma Mad Mad Daddy
Let's go baby, let's go daddy!
I am the Mad Mad Daddy

Let's rock! Let's roll!
Let's rock! Let's roll!
Now let's go baby, let's go daddy
I am the Mad Mad Daddy take over!

Ooo, I jump so high, never come down
'Cept for that I'm goin' round and around
'Cause I am the Mad Mad Daddy
I am the Mad Mad Daddy
Ma ma ma ma ma ma Mad Mad Daddy
Ma ma ma ma ma ma Mad Mad Daddy
Let's go baby, let's go daddy!
I am the Mad Mad Daddy

Pair of shades, purple shoes
I got a parachute to land on you
I am the Mad Mad Daddy
I am the Mad Mad Daddy
Ma ma ma ma ma ma Mad Mad Daddy
O-o-o ooooo Mad Mad Daddy!
Ah let's go baby! Let's go daddy!
I am the Mad Mad Daddy

Let's rock! C'mon roll!
I said rock! C'mon roll!
Let's go baby! Let's go daddy!
I am the Mad Mad Daddy

Mad mad mad Mad Mad Daddy!
Mad mad mad Mad Mad Daddy!
Mad mad mad Mad Mad Daddy!
Mad mad mad Mad Mad Daddy!

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
