The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
once more we clearly see
you'll choke on 3 words
but you won't choke on dick
swallowing pride swallow your pride
like drunken friday nights
whose next?
and i'm thinking that this could not be so bad
girl eats boy
boy eats girl
we all get fed
ive always viewed this as masochistic
we all have our vices and mine is getting "fucked"
in every way
once more, we see where you stand
fuck you.
you'll choke on 3 words
but you won't choke on dick
swallowing pride swallow your pride
like drunken friday nights
whose next?
and i'm thinking that this could not be so bad
girl eats boy
boy eats girl
we all get fed
ive always viewed this as masochistic
we all have our vices and mine is getting "fucked"
in every way
once more, we see where you stand
fuck you.

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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Actually, it's "swallowing your pride, swallowing your pride on drunken Friday nights..."
But anyway, his portrayal of oral sex as an act of masochism reflects his feelings about dating in general.
(This is my favorite HHLL song.)
Instead of "in every way" it should be "in every true meaning of the word"
Its from TV ratings Adult Situations, Violence, Language, and Nudity A S V L N
what does the title of the song mean?
damn leeroy yous a smart motha fucka can you say epiphany? hhll are money!
its pretty obvious what this one means..it's about a girl he thinks is a slut. but he'll have sex with her anyways..even if she's so shallow.."youll choke on 3 words but you wont choke on dick" well yeah she'll have sex but its difficult for her to be in love with him
This song is epic live.
Why would they name this song after a gang in Chicago when they are from California? Besides theres no S in almighty vice lord nation. Leeroy Jenkins is right. You is stupit
I LOVE THIS SONG. the beat and every single scream.
some of the best lyrics ive ever read. ASVLN stands for Adult Situations, Violence, Language and something else... i cant remember.
Some hoe hoe keeps doing the no no with people that are not him. And clearly she can't say "I love you". Anddd he keeps getting fucked over in everyway possible, and it's all her fault.
