Bring Me the Head of David Geffen

Mojo Nixon

Who killed rock and roll?
Who killed rock and roll?
I don't know
I've been told

I've been told and I'm gonna tell you, too, baby

Bring me the head of David Geffen
Bring me the head of David Geffen
Bring me the head of David Geffen
Bring me the head of David Geffen

Woodstock '94
Brought to you be Pepsi-Cola
Lord have mercy, don't ya know
Budweiser, Rolling Stones
Throwin' the corporate dog a bone
Even Keith Richards be a ho'

He's just sellin' one great big lie

Bring me the head of David Geffen
Bring me the head of David Geffen
Bring me the head of David Geffen
Bring me the head of David Geffen

Eagles reunited
Man, I tried to fight it
Hell's gonna freeze over
Hotel California
Don't say I didn't warn ya
Even Don Henley's got to bend over

He's just sellin' one great big lie

Bring me the head of David Geffen
Bring me the head of David Geffen
Bring me the head of David Geffen
Bring me the head of David Geffen

Liar! Liar!
Bring me the head of David Geffen
Bring me the head of David Geffen
Bring me the head of David Geffen
Bring me the head of David Geffen

He killed rock and roll
He killed punk and soul
He killed ________ too
Now I'm gonna get you!

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
