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.
Guys, Michael Bolton is here
Oh great, send him in
Hey guys (hey, thanks for coming!)
Sorry I'm late
I just got caught up watching the Pirates of the Caribbean marathon
Have you seen those things?
Oh yeah, yeah, those are, those are great
Well, I checked out the track and I loved it
And I wrote you this big, sexy hook
I think you're gonna really dig
Oh wow, that's great (awesome)
Should we just lay it down?
Boys, let's get to it (to it, to it, to it)
Here we go
Uh, Lonely Island, Michael Bolton (yeah)
The night starts now
Together on the track, the boys are back
The night starts now
Night starts now, baby, roll with us
Chickens snapping at the neck when we rollin' up (rollin' up!)
Blow through the doors, ain't no holdin' up
Black Card at the bar like I gives a fuck (come on)
Ladies shifty eyed when we walk into the set
Fuck the fellas looking jealous
Play the back and get wet (yeah, yeah)
Three pound in my waist, shank in my sock
You either get cut, get stuffed or get shot
This is the tale of Captain Jack Sparrow
Pirate so brave on the seven seas (what?)
A mystical quest to the isle of Tortuga
Raven locks sway on the ocean's breeze
Yeah, that was kinda weird, but we're back in the club
Buying up the bar so the groupies show us love (Keira Knightley!)
Motherfucking ice-man, I'm the top gunner
Heater on blast, I'm the number one stunner (Jack Sparrow!)
Watch it girl, 'cause I ain't your "Mr. Nice Guy"
More like the "meet ya, take you home and fuck you twice guy" (yeah yeah)
All dressed up with nowhere to run
And now I make you feel crazy with the- (now back to the good part!)
From the day he was born
He yearned for adventure (no!)
Old Captain Jack (yeah)
Giving them what for
He's the pauper of the surf
The jester of Tortuga (0h God)
But is Davy Jones' locker
What lies in store? (Yeah, we've seen the movie)
Throw your hands in the air
And say hells yeah, c'mon
Captain Jack (what?)
Johnny Depp (no)
From the front to the back
Say we count stacks, c'mon
Davy Jones (nope) giant squid (wrong)
Michael Bolton, we're really gonna need you to focus up
Roger that let me try it with another film (wait)
Life is a box of chocolates and my name is Forrest Gump (not better)
Though I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed
I give Jenny all my love (come on)
Okay, then I'm a legal aid
Erin Brockovich is my name (oh God)
Then you can call me Scarface
Snortin' mountains of cocaine (close enough)
You cockroaches wanna play rough?
Okay, I'm reloaded! Ha ha!
This is the tale of Tony Montana
Cubano flame with the Miami nuts (take it home)
Got a basehead wife
But her womb is polluted
This whole town's a pussy
Just waiting to get fucked (just waiting to get fucked
(Okay, it turns out Michael Bolton is a major cinephile)
You complete me (yeah, yeah, okay)
Oh great, send him in

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
