This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Listen, listen!
Here we go downtown
(garbled) ... all around
you can't stop (garbled)
KA-BLAMO!
You just won the lottery
that's ka-blamo!
You kissed Shannon Doherty
that's ka-blamo!
You joined a sorority
that's ka-blamo!
You lied about the lottery
NOT ka-blamo!
You met Fred Segal at a debutante’s ball
You gave him your number, he gave you a call
He told you to meet him at the corner at eight
You met him at nine, that's right, you were late
You stupid idiot, you don't know what you missed
Fred Segal's a star, and you called dis
His pimping-ass cooling-ass Mack-ass building
With the ivy on the walls but not around the lettering
You dissed Fred Segal, and everybody knows
(ha ha ha ha ha) You're not ka-blamo.
The doc fixed your arteries
that's ka-blamo!
your mouthwash is gargly
that's ka-blamo!
your water is watery
that's ka-blamo!
I majored in pottery
NOT KABLAMO.
You're chilling with your dudes and then they stab you in the face
On the way to the hospital you're bleeding all over the place
Your leg is amputated 'cause you got gangrene
And then you get cancer and you die in your teens
But then this really pretty girl who you always really liked
Shows up to your funeral and that's a real mixed blessing.
Your jello is wobbly
that's ka-blamo!
You met Gilbert God-fer-y
that's ka-blamo!
You're Harlem Globetrotter-y
that's ka-blamo!
You watch the disorderlies
NOT ka-blamo!
When you're mining for coal and you forget what coal is
And you're sure to be fired, because that's your job!
When a mole's in your ass and you wonder where the mole is
You're screwed man, a mole is in your ass.
GOD
The meaning of life is revealed to you
and all of the drinks are old English brew
Your whim is the word of the people on earth
but the whole "mole in the ass" thing is haunting you.
When your fluids are bodily
that's ka-blammy
What happened to ka-blamo?
I mean ka-blamo!
Good, that's better.
that's ka-blammy!
Wait, I'm confused.
We said ka-blamo!
HARD.
Here we go downtown
(garbled) ... all around
you can't stop (garbled)
KA-BLAMO!
You just won the lottery
that's ka-blamo!
You kissed Shannon Doherty
that's ka-blamo!

Holiday

@[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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
ahhh thank you, that does make sense!
