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.
I wanna rock right now
I wanna, I wanna rock right now
I wanna, I wanna rock right now, now, now, rock right now
I wanna, I wanna rock right now
I wanna, I wanna rock right now
I wanna, I wanna rock, right, now
I wanna da, I wanna dance in the lights
I wanna ro, I wanna rock your body
I wanna go, I wanna go for a ride
Hop in the music and rock your body right
Rock that body, come on come on, rock that body (rock your body)
Rock that body, come on come on, rock that body
Rock that body, come on come on, rock that body (rock your body)
Rock that body, come on come on, rock that body
Let me see your body rock
Shaking it from the bottom and top
Freak to what the DJ drop
We be the ones to make it hot (to make it hot)
Electric shock, energy like a billion watts
Space be boomin', the speakers pop
Galactic combin' missed a spot
We bumpin' in your parking lot
When you're comin' up in the spot
Don't bring nothin' we call pink dot
'Cause we burnin' around the clock
Hit the lights and then turn them off
If you bring that don't make you stop
Like the jungle we run the block
No one rollin' the way we rock, way we rock
I wanna, I wanna rock right now
I wanna, I wanna rock right now
I wanna, I wanna rock, right, now
I wanna da, I wanna dance in the lights
I wanna ro, I wanna rock your body
I wanna go, I wanna go for a ride
Hop in the music and rock your body right
Rock that body, come on come on, rock that body (rock that body)
Rock that body, come on come on, rock that body
Rock that body, come on come on, rock that body (rock your body)
Rock that body, come on come on, rock that body

She like to break dance and calypso
Get a little crazy
Get a little stupid
Get a little crazy-crazy-crazy
I wanna da, I wanna dance in the lights (I wanna dance in your light)
I wanna ro, I wanna rock your body (rock your body)

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.
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/
Amazing

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
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. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
the ~~~ part is "we call the pink dot"
What is "pink dot"?
How should he know? He just stated what was missing in the lyrics. If he knew I'm sure he'd comment since it's a 'meanings' site.<br /> <br /> Everything rhymed so it's probably just like that to rhyme and not meaning to make sense. The only meaning of "pink dot" that I know is this: a technique used in photoshopping to block out an ex-best friend
Pink Dot is a home delivery grocery service in L.A., so she's saying don't bring anything because they'll call Pink Dot and have anything they need delivered.
i like this song...its fun, the usual BEP song
