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.
Slide out ya clothes
And baby take off your shoes
That coochie got me so confused
That I don't know what to do
(Taste so sweet) daddy, divine
I got a woman so fine
That I gotta have it, like a rabbit
Almost all of the time
I knew this hotty named Janine
And she lived out in Queens
And she had a body, kinda like a horse
If you know what I mean
So I saddled up, more bang for the buck
Cuz she was splurging my cash
And I'm alright, cuz every night, when
I got to the crib, was hurting that ass
She used to tell me how much she loved
Me and how much she need me
How she can't wait to get home and rub me
And hug me and squeeze me
And after that, she just popped that bubbly
And touched me and teased me
And when she was mad, she
Would push and shove me
And fuck me and feed me
I gotta admit, I would spoiled and rotten
Dirty down to the core and I'm insane
Almost to the point where I really
Don't want it no more
But never that, I got back on track
And I had to put it together
Because without 'em, my world is gone, so
Slip away, I won't let her, i tell her
Slide out ya clothes
And baby take off your shoes
That coochie got me so confused
That I don't know what to do
(Taste so sweet) daddy, divine
I got a woman so fine
That I gotta have it, like a rabbit
Almost all of the time
I know this, girl named Anna
She was from Alabama she had some cooch
That had me driving back
And forth from Atlanta anna was a full grown
Independent woman with a
Car and a house on the hill
And no words can explain
How the hell she be making me feel
She knew just how to move them hips
She was like a gift
With a little bitty bow on top
Ripped my presents open, lights out
But the show don't stop
She got busy in the back of
The custom four door drop
Freshly dipped from the Fendi shades
To the Polo socks
Give it to me like a song I wrote
Aren't I dope?
On that note, she was just my kind
A penny for my thoughts, always on my mind
Explain why her name's over all my rhymes
No woman got me using up all my time
Crazy in the head, all off my grind
Believe me or not, I've done lost my mind
Slide out ya clothes
And baby take off your shoes
That coochie got me so confused
That I don't know what to do
(Taste so sweet) daddy, divine
I got a woman so fine
That I gotta have it, like a rabbit
Almost all of the time
I knew this honey named Renee
And she lived in BK
And I only hit it one time
Now I call her everyday
And she said I'm gettin' on her nerves
Cuz I'm lost for words
Infatuated by her beauty
And her wonderful curves
I said, bitch, I'm Dirt McGirt
Fresh out and back on the scene
And don't you ever in your life
Turn ya back on a king
I got something to prove, I
Done got my groove back, and all in the loop
Once papa got a brand new weave bag
And some blue suede shoes
I got another pep in my step
And a whole new glide in my stride
Put sixty thousand on my neck
And a million dollar look in my eye
And then she thought it, by the attraction
Said I could hit it again
And I been waiting for this moment
Since I got out the pen, i tell her
Slide out ya clothes
And baby take off your shoes
That coochie got me so confused
That I don't know what to do
(Taste so sweet) daddy, divine
I got a woman so fine
That I gotta have it, like a rabbit
Almost all of the time
And baby take off your shoes

Fast Car

"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.

No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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/
