This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
You take a shot baby
I'll take a stab
Shit's about to go down at the language lab
Some are "Pour Favour"
Some are "S'il Vous Plait"
Talk is cheap, baby, anyway
Get ready to go, if you're willing or able
You're bound to get run over by my tower of Babel
Yes I give a warning
From my gift to the gab
All the pretty girls at the language lab
It's always hurry up and wait
You know I can relate
If you've got another language
Baby, I can translate
I can translate
I can translate
I can be the kind of [?]
Between a dozen heads of state
Who would otherwise be trying to kill each other.
Speaking Cantonese just to get my kicks
French is just Romanian that's been remixed
Come on pretty baby let's jump in the next cab
Destination – the language lab
Don't just chalk it up to fate
Is there too much on your plate
And if you're lost in translation, baby, I can translate
I can translate
I can translate
And when my work is done [?] standing in the way
And you won't have to press '1′ for English
Ooh
Ooh
Woo-ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Woo-ooh
Woo-ooh
There's no need to speak when looking into your eyes
‘Cos lies in foreign languages are still just lies
This is what I get for my gift of the gab
All the broken hearts at the language lab
You [?] for your linguistic blind date
And if you're looking for some meaning, baby, I can translate
I can translate
I can translate
I can make your mumbo-jumbo and your voice co-operate
And your romance is no longer Greek to me
Oh!
I'll take a stab
Shit's about to go down at the language lab
Some are "Pour Favour"
Some are "S'il Vous Plait"
Talk is cheap, baby, anyway
Get ready to go, if you're willing or able
You're bound to get run over by my tower of Babel
Yes I give a warning
From my gift to the gab
All the pretty girls at the language lab
It's always hurry up and wait
You know I can relate
If you've got another language
Baby, I can translate
I can translate
I can translate
I can be the kind of [?]
Between a dozen heads of state
Who would otherwise be trying to kill each other.
Speaking Cantonese just to get my kicks
French is just Romanian that's been remixed
Come on pretty baby let's jump in the next cab
Destination – the language lab
Don't just chalk it up to fate
Is there too much on your plate
And if you're lost in translation, baby, I can translate
I can translate
I can translate
And when my work is done [?] standing in the way
And you won't have to press '1′ for English
Ooh

And your romance is no longer Greek to me
Oh!

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
