Everybody Dance

Incredibad

The club is packed like a sandwich
All types of people like ham and swiss
Lettuce and tomato toasted bread
Bite down and taste the rhythm

Thank goodness we're finally here at the club
Man what a great-looking crop of people
The fact that they worked all week really adds to the meaning behind their dancing
My boss yelled at me "Take this dance move.
The copier broke down but tonight you're a star!"

I don't care what your name is
I don't care where you went to college
I hate your outfit and your face
Now everybody dance

Your jam's on
The jimmy jam's on
This is the time to get your jimmy jam on
Hey jimmy who
It's jimmy jam
Time to slam bam
It's jimmy jam

World beat
Whores in rhythm
Africa
No man's land
South America
Fruits and coconuts
Europe
You have no idea Europe is crazy
Global warming
Hot and sexy
Poverty
Exotic things

I don't care who you came with
I don't care if your car just died
I hate your open wounds and your brain
Now every dance
Everybody dance

    Here's the real song, I believe:

    Hey girl, I don't mean no harm but, You do something to me. I'm not sure quite what it is yet, but, I'm getting a pretty good read on it at this point. Um, it's gonna come to me... What is it exactly we do? OH GOD YEAH WE GOTTA DANCE

    The club is packed like a sandwich All types of people like ham and swiss Lettuce and tomato toasted bread Bite down and taste the rhythm

    Thank goodness we're finally here at the club Man what a great-looking crop of people The fact that they worked all week really adds to the meaning behind their dancing My boss yelled at me "Take this dance move. The copier broke down but tonight you're a star!"

    I don't care what your name is I don't care where you went to college I hate your outfit and your face Now everybody dance

    Your jam's on The jimmy jam's on This is the time to get your jimmy jam on Hey jimmy you know It's jimmy jam Time to slam bam It's jimmy jam

    World beat Whores and rhythm Africa No man's land South America Fruits and coconuts Europe You have no idea! Europe is crazy Global warming Hot and sexy Poverty Exotic things

    I don't care who you came with I don't care if your mom just died I hate your overalls and your brain Now every dance Everybody dance

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.

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.

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.
