This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Well now friends just lend an ear
For you're now about to hear
The ballad of Cat Ballou-ou
It's a song that's newly made
And Professor Sam the Shade
And the Sunrise Kid are singin' it for you
Cat Ballou
Cat Ballou
It's a hangin' day in Wolf City, Wyomin'
Wolf City, Wyomin', eighteen-ninety-four
They're gonna drop Cat Ballou-ou
Through the gallows floor
She killed a man in Wolf City, Wyomin'
Wolf City, Wyomin', killed a man it's true
And that is why they're a-hangin'
Hangin' Cat Ballou
She has the smile of an angel (fights like the Devil)
The eyes of an angel (bites like the Devil)
The face of an angel (I say she's the Devil)
She's mean and evil through and through
Cat Ballou
Cat Ballou-ou-ou
She's mean and evil through and through
With her outlaw band, they're now tellin' a story
Now tellin' a story, how she rode the plain
The wildest gal in the West
Since Calamity Jane
And today's the day, that she's goin' to glory
She's goin' to glory, for the way she sinned
They'll be a-speedin' her soul
On the wayward wind
She has the smile of an angel (fights like the Devil)
The eyes of an angel (bites like the Devil)
The face of an angel (I say she's the Devil)
She's mean and evil through and through
Cat Ballou (Cat Ballou)
Cat Ballou-ou-ou (Cat Ballou-ou-ou)
She's mean and evil through and through
Cat Ballou
Cat Ball-ou-ou-ou
She's mean and evil through and through
For you're now about to hear
The ballad of Cat Ballou-ou
It's a song that's newly made
And Professor Sam the Shade
And the Sunrise Kid are singin' it for 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,

Amazing

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.
