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,
Yo
Keith Sweat and Snoop D-O-double G
Real players, doin' this VIP
You feel me?
So all the ladies that wanna get with us
You got to be special, VIP
Come get with me, mm
Goodness grief, it's Snoop and Keith Sweat
A double dose of this triple threat
Yep, Moet White Star in the glass
Here's a toast to the fool that let you slip through with no pass
All-access, you can jump in and test
When we through parlayin', you dig what I'm sayin'
You look good, girl, but you'd look better if you was with me
Get in where you fit in, let's do this VIP
Look at you, shorty
You really got it goin' on (you know you got it goin' on)

Sittin' in the VIP
You really need to get with me (come on)
(Uh, yeah, come and get it, girl, wh-what)
Cristal flowin' (flowin')
Party still goin' (it's still goin')
Crowd pleasers everywhere
But I still had to stop and stare

Now I done seen a lot of girls, but none like you
You're red-boned and thick, got it goin' on, ooh
Cheatin' in the next room, I slid by the restroom
And all I heard was zoom-zoom-zoom
I see you peekin', but you ain't speakin'
Put your drink down, think now, stop tweekin'
A once in a lifetime experience
Come get with me, it'll be luxurious
I'm serious, and curious
To find out what turns you on
I'm Snoop Doggy Dogg with the doggy bone
Hangin' with Keith Sweat in his VIP section
Tryna give you more than the average affection
Type of moan close the doors, it's goin' down
You never thought that Keith Sweat would hook up with the Dogg Pound
Gangster's finest, take time and listen
Come get with me 'cause we on a mission
Come on get with me
Come spend the night tonight (come on, come on)
I got what you need
I'll make you feel alright (uh, uh, come and get it)
Come on get with me

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
