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.
Yo, check it out
I've got a plan
Here's my intention
The frat boys in the club are lame
Let's start an altercation
It's just what I'm used to
Just want to fuck shit up
I've got my whole damn crew
Come on, what you gonna do?
I kissed a boy and they liked it
Got all the honeys in the club excited
I kissed a boy just to start shit
And homeboy was not about it
I know it's wrong but I don't mind
I'm gonna start shit tonight
I kissed a boy just to start shit
They just loved it
Now you don't even know my name
It doesn't matter
Don't even front
You've got no game
You're just a sucker
So what now?
I clowned you
And I'm stealing your girl, too
She wants a secure dude
And that's just not you
I kissed a boy and they liked it
Got all the honeys in the club excited
I kissed a boy just to start shit
And homeboy was not about it
I know it's wrong but I don't mind
I'm gonna start shit tonight
I kissed a boy just to start shit
They just loved it
Me and my boys, that's how we roll
You'll never know how far we'll go
I'll grab some chump that I don't know
And plant one right on him
You're only here for our amusement
I kissed a boy and they liked it
Got all the honeys in the club excited
I kissed a boy just to start shit
And homeboy was not about it
I know it's wrong but I don't mind
I'm gonna start shit tonight
I kissed a boy just to start shit
They just loved it
I've got a plan
Here's my intention
The frat boys in the club are lame
Let's start an altercation
It's just what I'm used to
Just want to fuck shit up

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This is was better than the original. But that's kind of a given seeing how I hated "I Kissed a Girl" :C
I know its not true but I think its Gabes warped confession of being bi-sexual haha
but thats just me
Gabe is hilarious
haha ; i love gabeee.
haha, more like Pete Wentz liked it. as Pete said "i was there!" haha. I love Gabe though :] I saw him a week ago.
it's "She wants a secure dude" not "She wants to suck your nude".
this version destroys katy perry. :]]]
ahahhahah ohhh gabe. i love that dude.
i just know he'll play this in january! THIS OWNS KATY PERRYS VERSION! i fucking love gabe, me him and my best mate beat boxed whilst he rapped show me the money! bear hugged me, ryland pulled me on the stage and gabe grinded me! cobra starship FTW!
This song is amazing.
I would have rather listening to this than Katy Perry's version
This one is more fun
:)
Cobra Starship are amazing!
