@[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.
As a young girl, Louis Vuitton
With your mother, on the sandy lawn
As a sophomore, with reggaeton
And the linens you're sittin' on
Is your bed made?
Is your sweater on?
Do you want to fuck?
Like you know I do
Like you know I do
This feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel too
Feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel
Can you stay up to see the dawn?
In the colors of Benetton
Is your bed made?
Is your sweater on?
Do you want ta?
Like you know I do
Like you know I do
It feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel too
Feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel
Is your bed made?
Is your sweater on?
Do you want ta?
Like you know I do
Like you know I do
With your mother, on the sandy lawn
As a sophomore, with reggaeton
And the linens you're sittin' on
Is your bed made?
Is your sweater on?
Do you want to fuck?
Like you know I do
Like you know I do
This feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel too
Feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel
Can you stay up to see the dawn?
In the colors of Benetton
Is your bed made?
Is your sweater on?
Do you want ta?
Like you know I do
Like you know I do
It feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel too
Feels so unnatural, Peter Gabriel
Is your bed made?
Is your sweater on?
Do you want ta?
Like you know I do
Like you know I do

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
I am LOVING this song. Even to a thirty-something with 2 kids, for whom college is a distant (yet fond!) memory, this song rocks. I would like to offer my analysis of the lyrics, mostly because my husband (who doesn’t have the same taste in music) told me that he doesn’t “get” it. I think I’ve deciphered it:
This song is about a college couple/hook-up, one sophomore from Cape Cod and her “reggaeton” partner/boyfriend, potentially from (at least in his mind) the proverbial wrong side of the tracks. The title itself gives me a chuckle because it forecasts the contrast between the two characters- Cape Cod couldn’t be any further away, culturally or geographically, from the Congo, the geocenter of Kwassa Kwassa music. And the “reggaeton” boyfriend fancies himself to be worldly in contrast to the Cape Cod-raised, preppy girl; through the lyrics he expresses slight disdain for her designer-conscious, buttoned-up and sheltered upbringing (apparently even the quality of her college bed linens is notable to him). But, despite the differences in their backgrounds (and even though in his head, his attraction to her “feels so unnatural”), he wants to bang her anyway! And as for the mention of Peter Gabriel, to me it’s a direct reference to the movie Say Anything where the protagonist (John Cusak, playing a high school guy from the “wrong side of the tracks”) plays the Peter Gabriel song “In Your Eyes” on his boom box to serenade to his white-bread, preppy love interest (Ione Skye). Aaaah, college. It’s the first time that many of us have the opportunity to meet, and screw, people from completely different backgrounds. Love it!
Love this analysis. <br /> <br /> One thing I'll add: The chorus ("Is your bed made?") is, in my opinion, the reggaeton boyfriend addressing the preppy, sheltered object of his affections by asking her (teasingly for sure) the same questions her overbearing mother would've asked her as a child. The very adult phrase "Do you wanna fuck?" is in deliberate juxtaposition with the innocent and childish nature of the questions that precede it demonstrating the psychological chaos that many college girls experience in their first two years of school ("as a sophomore"). Is the girl still the preppy, proper girl from Cape Cod that always makes her bed and brings a sweater, or is she an adult (sophomore) that's ready to try something that may seem "unnatural" but is definitely an adult activity?<br /> <br /> Great song. Incredibly witty.
Good analysis! While this is tangential, I disagree with the claim about the "preppy love interest" in Say Anything. In fact, I think his love interest was probably the most earnest person in the movie, and I typically don't think of preppy people as being earnest. She genuinely likes school & being smart, admits to this, and openly enjoys helping people out. Not really a preppy tag line. Boring, perhaps, but not preppy...<br /> <br /> <br />
