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.
Sexy can I
Yeah, yeah
All we wanna know is
Sexy can I, just pardon my manners
Girl how you shake it, got a playa like (oh)
It's a Kodak moment, let me go and get my camera
All I wanna know is, sexy can I
Sexy can I, hit it from the front
Then I hit it from the back
Know you like it like that
Then we take it to the bed, then we take it to the floor
Then we chill for a second, then were back at it for more
Sexy can I, just pardon my manners
Girl how you shake it, got a playa like (oh)
It's a Kodak moment, let me go and get my camera
All I wanna know is, sexy can I
Lil mama, it's ya boy Youngin'
G5 dippin, Lui Vuitton luggage (ay)
Gotta love it, ya boy so fly
All the ladies go (ohhh) when a nigga go by
Gucci on the feet, Marc Jacob on the thigh
She wanna ride or die with ya boy in the shi
That's right, so I let her kiss the prince
So boyfriend, she ain't missed him since
Sexy can I, just pardon my manners
Girl how you shake it, got a playa like (oh)
It's a Kodak moment, let me go and get my camera
All I wanna know is, sexy can I
Sexy can I, keep it on the low
Got a girl at the crib, we can take it to the mo-mo
You can bring a friend, or you can ride solo
Let me get my camera, so we can take a photo
(Oh, oh, oh) Now look shawty, look shawty
Baby when we make love it's like, (Oh, oh, oh)
(I don't know what your man is like but shawty all I want to know is)
Sexy can I
Sexy can I, visit you at work
When you sliding down the pole
No panties, no shirt
Then you climb back up the pole
Then you drop and do the splits
How you make that booty talk
Baby damn, you is a mess
(Oh, oh, oh) Now look shawty, look shawty
I make it rain in the club like (Oh, oh, oh)
(I don't know what your man is like but baby all I want to know is)
Sexy can I
Sexy can I, just pardon my manners
Girl how you shake it, got a playa like (oh)
It's a Kodak moment, let me go and get my camera
All I wanna know is, sexy can I
I don't care who's ya boy hittin', or who Ray's melon
When I give it to her, I know that she ain't tellin'
See I'm a go getta and she a go getta
You already know she
(Sexy can I)
Sexy can I sing for you red-eye
Fresh out the pool no towel
Just let it air dry
And if you ain't fuckin' tonight
Man you can watch that tour bus go by
Sexy can I, just pardon my manners
Girl how you shake it, got a playa like (oh)
It's a Kodak moment, let me go and get my camera
All I wanna know is, sexy can I
Sexy can I, hit it from the front
Then I hit it from the back
Know you like it like that
Then we take it to the bed, then we take it to the floor
Then we chill for a second, then were back at it for more
Sexy can I, just pardon my manners
Girl how you shake it, got a playa like (oh)

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America.

Ths song at first had a good beat to it....but it is disgusting. Whoever thinks of women like this...needs help.
at first i thought this was a good song but after reading the lyrics...it is SO degrading! i love rap and r&b and all that shit but i do really hate how sexist it is...plus most of these rappest are fucking disgusting i dunno why they think theyre such 'PLAYAS'
"Sexy Can I hit it from the front" reveals to the listeners Ray J's preference of how he would like to engage in sexual interactions His questioning reveals an unspoken humility and a willingess to let his partner decide what he can and can not do In totality, Ray J includes this line to represent his desires, while simultaneously reavealing his character
this is the gayest song ever. this rapper is a stupid peice of shit and can go die. stupid nig
