The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
It's summertime
Ladies looking hot
Shaking up what they've got
Elephant Man and Kat, c'mon
Kat
Sense is telling me you're looking
I can feel it on my skin (Whoaa)
Boy I wonder what would happen
If I trip and let you in
Don't get shook by my aggression
I just might be the one
Let's skip this conversation
Just whine your body up
(Ha ha ha)
Don't wanna wait no more
(Ha ha ha)
You got what I'm searching for
I'm feeling your vibing
I'm riding high its exotic
And I want you, I want you here
Pull me closer and closer
and hold me tight to your body
I wanna feel you, I wanna feel you near (whoo)
Whine up, whine up, whine up, oyea!
Whine up, whine up, whine up, oyea!
Whine up, whine up, whine up, oyea!
Whine up, whine up, whine up, oyea!
A ese nene lo tengo trikiao
Cuando lo bailo lo bailo de lao (oye)
Y lo empujo lo tengo tumbao
Con mis caderas lo tengo amansao wind!
Boy keep doing what you're doing, get me hot
Winding up your body you don't have to stop
My temperature is rising, want you more than before
It's an animal attraction, whine your body up
(Ha ha ha)
It's the magic on the floor
(Ha ha ha)
I don't wanna wait no more
'Cause I'm feeling your vibing
I'm riding high its exotic
And I want you (and I want you too)
I want you (and I want you too) here
Pull me closer and closer (closer and closer)
and hold me tight to your body
I wanna feel you (I wanna feel you too), I wanna feel you near (whoo)
Whine up, whine up, whine up, oyea!
Whine up, whine up, whine up, oyea!
Whine up, whine up, whine up, oyea!
Whine up, whine up, whine up, oyea!
My Dear, whine up your body bring it to me right here
She got the finest body I swear
Shake off your booty, shift it in high gear
She says ele run your fingers through my hair
All the blind man could see quite clear
The way she whines it gives me nightmares
Find har G-spot and touch har right there
Wah pop off di clothes she a wear
(Woah woah woah woah woah)
It's risin'

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.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,
