This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I've been up to Tuktoyaktuk and I've even even been to Arctic Bay
And I've been to Fort McPherson where it's wonderful, they say
I've seen Old Crow, and I've seen Sachs Harbour, and I know what I'm a-talkin' about
In all my travelin' around there's just a-one place I've found that a-really, really knocks me out
You know I'm talkin' 'bout Aklavik (Aklavik)
Hey, let me tell you that's a-one little swingin' town
Howlin' dogs and boarded-up buildings
The place really turns me on
The government says you'd better move out fast, 'cause the river's gonna wash it away
That was fifteen years ago, and I want you know
They're high and dry and doin' fine today.
They say that right here in Yellowknife there's gold and a-minerals rare
And down in old Hay River, there's a highway goin' there
And up on the coast, you know I heard on my post, they get billion barrels a day
But if you're lookin' to find a place to relieve your mind, man, there's only one place to stay
You know I'm talkin' 'bout Aklavik (Aklavik)
'Cause that's where the action is, if you know what I mean
Catch yourself a ride on a Northward sched
And you can really make a scene
Well, our roads are often muddy,
And our houses aren't so great,
But sun of a gun, they know how to have fun
And they're gonna do alright by me
I've heard a rumour gonin' round, now I'm a-gonin' tell it to you
Don't you tell nobody, 'cause I don't even know if it's true
The government people are startin' to worry the future's sure lookin' black
I said Inuvik is sinkin' into Boot Lake, now they're gonna have to move us back
I said Inuvik is sinkin' into Boot Lake, now they're gonna have to move us back
And I've been to Fort McPherson where it's wonderful, they say
I've seen Old Crow, and I've seen Sachs Harbour, and I know what I'm a-talkin' about
In all my travelin' around there's just a-one place I've found that a-really, really knocks me out
You know I'm talkin' 'bout Aklavik (Aklavik)

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
