Valerie Yum

The Dandy Warhols

Judge jury and then my baby
Decided it was something
I need something sometimes just for being me

I got something inside of me
I need something sometimes just for being me

Here we go...

Val...
Yum-yum yum

Val-Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum
I just don't care no more
Val-Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum
I just don't care no more
Val-Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum
I just don't care no more
I got
Val-Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum

I got world war three
I got world war four

Val-Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum
I just don't care no more
I got
Val-Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum

I don't know...
I don't know...
My whole fucking head is full of jello

I just don't care no more
I got
Val-Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum

I got
yummy yummy yummy yummy
yummy in my tummy
yummy yummy yummy yummy
yummy yummy yummy yummy
yummy yummy yummy yummy

    This song is Dandy Warhols kindly advertising diazepam, a tranquilizer of the benzodiazepine type that is best known by the trademarked name Valium® manufactured by Roche® pharmaceuticals.

    It's generally reviewed by amateur pharmacologists as being delectably relaxing, deliciously moorish (yum yum), and has a tendency to make its consumer proclaim that they "just don't care no more!".

    Valerie = Girls name meaning "mental fortitude" (more or less) = Val (shortened). Yum = Mmmmm, tasty! = More please = Yumyumyumy

    Val + Yum = Val Yum = Valyum = Valium = Valerie Yum

    Benzodiazepines in general tend to relax skeletal muscles making the body feel like it's moving in a jelly or jello type fashion, and hence the pills are sometimes refered to as Jellies or Jellos, which is what the singer proclaims his head to be fucking full of to the point where war on a global scale twice in a row is no big deal to him really. Seems that guy must have some door in the back of his head which he uses to dump out all the crap so he can just feel solid again!

    Jellies also used as a term due to a different benzo on the market being available in the nineties in the form of capsules filled with a jello textured form of the related drug "temazepam". See "Tramazi Parti - Black Grape".

    It's even more obvious than Lucy and that Sky full 'o Diamonds, yet nobody seems to have put two and two together here!

    Good thing I was here!

    This song seems to vaguely reference a 1960s bubblegum song called Bubblegum Music by The Rock And Roll Dubble Bubble Trading Card Co. Of Philadelphia-19141\n\nYummy, Yummy, Yummy was a 1960s bubblegum song by the Ohio Express, who also did a song called Down at Lulu\'s, which mentions the Monkees singing about Valerie and going down to Lulu\'s, she\'ll make you feel Yummy, Yummy, Yummy - Yummy, Yummy, Yummy etc. Sung the same way as the Dandys do in this song.\n[youtube.com/watch](http://nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJWP3E_CjLI)

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
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."
