It's a small, small world
Fancy meetin' you
I don't believe I've seen you since
The day we both left school

Well, man, I can't believe it
I've been wonderin' where you were
This truly is amazin'
It's a small, small world

So what have you been doin'?
Not much, what's up with you?
I've been livin' out in Denver
And I live out there too

Well, what brings you to Dallas
I finally met a girl
That really is amazin'
It's a small, small world

It's a small, small world
It's a small, small world
You can say that again
It's a small, small world

So you're finally gettin' married
And I want you to be there
I hope that you can come to mine
Just tell me when and where

Well, that's up to Rita's mother
Rita? Yeah, man, that's insane
I know you won't believe this
But Rita's my girls name

So what does your Rita do?
She travels, she's on another flight
My Rita travels too
But she's comin' home tonight

We ought to get together
And introduce the girls
They'd probably know each other
It's a small, small world

It's a small, small world
It's a small, small world
You can say that again
It's a small, small world

Yeah, I can't wait to see her
With those big old eyes so blue
The blondest hair you've ever seen
And that butterfly tattoo

Now wait a minute buddy
Did you say butterfly tattoo? Yeah
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle
My Rita's got one too

It's a small, small world
It's a small, small world
You can say that again
It's a small, small world

It's a small, small world
It's a small, small world
You can say that again
It's a small, small world

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

No Surprises
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.

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/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
