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 take the bus to town
Sitting in the back and talk to no one
I got the high heels on
I go out dancing all by my own
People are pushing by
Somebody always tries to cut in line
Soon as I get inside
I lose myself in the blinding lights
Now what, your jaw has dropped
Until the music stop, you know
I still run this thing like a dancehall queen
I really don't want no hassle
Now what, your jaw has dropped
Until the music stop, you know
I still run this thing like a dancehall queen
I really don't want no hassle
I got them hypnotized
I get another shout out on the mic
Keep me out all you like
I came to dance, not to socialize
Riddim goes boom boom boom
Same thing drops with the
People all gather round
Rocking to the beat, the queen will be crowned
Now what, your jaw has dropped
Until the music stop, you know
I still run this thing like a dancehall queen
I really don't want no hassle
Now what, your jaw has dropped
Until the music stop, you know
I still run this thing like a dancehall queen
I really don't want no hassle
I go down low like she wow
She wow, wow, wow
One my hips will slow like she wow
She wow, wow, wow
I go down low like she wow
She wow, wow, wow
One my hips will slow like she wow
She wow, wow, wow
Now what, your jaw has dropped
Until the music stop, you know
I still run this thing like a dancehall queen
I really don't want no hassle
Now what, your jaw has dropped
Until the music stop, you know
I still run this thing like a dancehall queen
I really don't want no hassle
Now what, your jaw has dropped
Until the music stop, you know
I still run this thing like a dancehall queen
I really don't want no hassle
Sitting in the back and talk to no one
I got the high heels on
I go out dancing all by my own
People are pushing by
Somebody always tries to cut in line
Soon as I get inside
I lose myself in the blinding lights
Now what, your jaw has dropped
Until the music stop, you know
I still run this thing like a dancehall queen
I really don't want no hassle
Now what, your jaw has dropped
Until the music stop, you know
I still run this thing like a dancehall queen
I really don't want no hassle
I got them hypnotized
I get another shout out on the mic
Keep me out all you like
I came to dance, not to socialize
Riddim goes boom boom boom
Same thing drops with the
People all gather round
Rocking to the beat, the queen will be crowned
Now what, your jaw has dropped
Until the music stop, you know
I still run this thing like a dancehall queen
I really don't want no hassle
Now what, your jaw has dropped
Until the music stop, you know
I still run this thing like a dancehall queen
I really don't want no hassle
I go down low like she wow
She wow, wow, wow
One my hips will slow like she wow
She wow, wow, wow
I go down low like she wow
She wow, wow, wow
One my hips will slow like she wow
She wow, wow, wow
Now what, your jaw has dropped
Until the music stop, you know
I still run this thing like a dancehall queen
I really don't want no hassle
Now what, your jaw has dropped
Until the music stop, you know
I still run this thing like a dancehall queen
I really don't want no hassle
Now what, your jaw has dropped
Until the music stop, you know
I still run this thing like a dancehall queen
I really don't want no hassle

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.
