In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Well this is where I kill the dancer
Watch the MC kill the dancer
Death of the Prodigy dancer
Come on, come on
Gonna take you with me
Gonna kill you, gonna rock you
Gonna move you, gonna groove you
Tonight, come on
Let it rock, let it move, let it move you, let it use you
Let it move you, let it move you, let it move you
One for the troubles
Two for the time
Three for the lyrics
Four for the rhyme
Come on now
Let it rock, let it rock
Pump it up, rock it up
Don't stop to the fuckin' core
Maxim reality is talking to you (?)
Let it rock you, let it rock you
Let it move you, let it groove you
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Let it rock you, let it rock you, let it rock you
Let it rock you, let it rock you
Where's the response?

Let it move, let it move, let it move
Let it move you
Let it rock you, let it rock you

Four for the rhyme
Let it rock you, let it move you

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
