This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I feel like goin' surfing in a hurricane
I feel like makin' love in the pourin' rain
I ain't afraid of dyin'
I don't need to explain
I feel like goin' surfing in a hurricane
We left the bar last night about half past eight
Down to the Alabama shore, not the aloha state
This storm may turn, it was too late
And we ain't the kind to evacuate
The impact zone is callin' out my name
Sea monster night pulling nothing but pride and fear
St. Christopher might not get our asses outta here
Flooded roads, and trailer parks
And maybe a tornado lurkin' in the dark
The perfect life, riding to eternity
I feel like goin' surfin' in a hurricane
I feel like makin' love in the pourin' rain
I ain't afraid of dyin'
I don't need to explain
I feel like goin' surfing in a hurricane
The waves were hard, the seas were high
Wicked thunderbolts flashed in my eyes
We swam out to the sandbar in the dark
Howling at the moon, cussin' at the sharks
I made the first drop and my kahonas were in my throat
Then the second wave launched me like a rocket that's all she wrote
Upside down, water on the brain
Hand on the bottom but feelin' no pain
Screamin' like a demon, paddlin' out again
I feel like goin' surfin' in a hurricane
I feel like makin' love in the pourin' rain
I ain't afraid of dyin'
There's no need to explain
I feel like goin' surfing in a hurricane
I feel like goin' surfin' in a hurricane
I feel like makin' love in the pourin' rain
I ain't afraid of dyin'
I got no fear in my brain
I feel like goin' surfing in a hurricane
I feel like goin' surfing in a hurricane
Let's paddle out boys!
Killer surf!
And I mean killer!
Let's go!
Surfin' in a hurricane.
Surfin' in a hurricane.
I feel like makin' love in the pourin' rain
I ain't afraid of dyin'
I don't need to explain
I feel like goin' surfing in a hurricane
We left the bar last night about half past eight
Down to the Alabama shore, not the aloha state
This storm may turn, it was too late
And we ain't the kind to evacuate
The impact zone is callin' out my name
Sea monster night pulling nothing but pride and fear
St. Christopher might not get our asses outta here
Flooded roads, and trailer parks
And maybe a tornado lurkin' in the dark
The perfect life, riding to eternity
I feel like goin' surfin' in a hurricane
I feel like makin' love in the pourin' rain
I ain't afraid of dyin'
I don't need to explain
I feel like goin' surfing in a hurricane
The waves were hard, the seas were high
Wicked thunderbolts flashed in my eyes
We swam out to the sandbar in the dark
Howling at the moon, cussin' at the sharks
I made the first drop and my kahonas were in my throat
Then the second wave launched me like a rocket that's all she wrote
Upside down, water on the brain
Hand on the bottom but feelin' no pain
Screamin' like a demon, paddlin' out again
I feel like goin' surfin' in a hurricane
I feel like makin' love in the pourin' rain
I ain't afraid of dyin'
There's no need to explain
I feel like goin' surfing in a hurricane
I feel like goin' surfin' in a hurricane
I feel like makin' love in the pourin' rain
I ain't afraid of dyin'
I got no fear in my brain
I feel like goin' surfing in a hurricane
I feel like goin' surfing in a hurricane
Let's paddle out boys!
Killer surf!
And I mean killer!
Let's go!
Surfin' in a hurricane.
Surfin' in a hurricane.

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,
