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,
Fresh twenty one
Walk up to the club
Got my girls, cut the line
Cause we're a step above
Walk up to the bar
Buying drinks like a star
My girls, they wanna try it
So we had to buy it
Uh huh, whip it up, lick it up, suck it down
Uh huh, drink it up (ooh I think she likes it)
Uh huh, whip it up, lick it up, suck it down
Uh huh, drink it up (ooh I think she likes it)
Doing shots at the bar, body shots at the bar
My girls, they wanna try it, so we had to buy it
At the what? At the bar, at the what? at the bar
My girls, they wanna try it
So we're drinking like we're rock stars
Top alcohol, mix it up, mix it up
Got me laying down and I pull my shirt up
Baby get the whipped cream
Feeling like a wet dream
Got me at the bar doing body shots, now
Uh huh, whip it up, lick it up, suck it down
Uh huh, drink it up (ooh I think she likes it)
Uh huh, whip it up, lick it up, suck it down
Uh huh, drink it up (ooh I think she likes it)
Doing shots at the bar, body shots at the bar
My girls, they wanna try it, so we had to buy it
At the what? At the bar, at the what? at the bar
My girls, they wanna try it
So we're drinking like we're rock stars
[Ludacris:]
Can somebody, anybody, everybody please
Just tell me where all of my shots are
I'm trying to get them drunk and they're not far
Cause even though my name's Ludacris
When I get up in the club
I be drinking like a rock star
Pocket full of money and I'm throwing stacks
Grab a couple shots then throw 'em back
And conjure up your freaky side
When drinking the Conjure Cognac
Got you feeling kind of frisky and tipsy
We gon' drink 'till the bottle's gone
And these girls wanna try some things
And I'm a be the one that they try it on
Smoke, smoke, I'm a roll these papers
And ain't nobody on their best behavior
Cause I'm a taste this shot
Then I might taste you
If you come in all different flavors
[Kaci:]
Uh huh, whip it up, lick it up, suck it down
Uh huh, drink it up (ooh I think she likes it)
Uh huh, whip it up, lick it up, suck it down
Uh huh, drink it up (ooh I think she likes it)
Doing shots at the bar, body shots at the bar
My girls, they wanna try it, so we had to buy it
At the what? At the bar, at the what? at the bar
My girls, they wanna try it
So we're drinking like we're rock stars
Doing shots at the bar, body shots at the bar
My girls, they wanna try it, so we had to buy it
At the what? At the bar, at the what? at the bar
My girls, they wanna try it
So we're drinking like we're rock stars
Walk up to the club
Got my girls, cut the line
Cause we're a step above
Walk up to the bar
Buying drinks like a star
My girls, they wanna try it
So we had to buy it
Uh huh, whip it up, lick it up, suck it down
Uh huh, drink it up (ooh I think she likes it)
Uh huh, whip it up, lick it up, suck it down
Uh huh, drink it up (ooh I think she likes it)
Doing shots at the bar, body shots at the bar
My girls, they wanna try it, so we had to buy it
At the what? At the bar, at the what? at the bar
My girls, they wanna try it
So we're drinking like we're rock stars
Top alcohol, mix it up, mix it up

Got me at the bar doing body shots, now
Uh huh, whip it up, lick it up, suck it down

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
