The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Yup, yerp
And then the smoke got me
Hey
I got muscles like Superman trainer (ooh)
Real real rare like Super Saiyan manga
I jump stomp-stomp on Lucifer, Satan
Now I got a few rings on, Jupiter skating
I meant to say Saturn, switched up the pattern
Smoking on some shatter (ooh), got me higher than a ladder (ooh)
Thanks I'm flattered, my baby mama badder
You look like Mick Jagger, oops, the grease splattered
Ooh, ooh, hot, hot (ooh)
Jumping out the grease
It's a whole lotta degrees
'Bout to come up out the fleece, fleece, fleece
Shh, I don't wanna hear a peep (skrt)
Tryna catch some sleep, tryna count some sheep
Hot damn, hot water, hot shower
Hotlanta, smoking green, cauliflower
Tangerine, yeah, I call her sweet and sour
And my lawyer say it's urgent, I'ma call him in a hour
Dude, I just called the plug and his phone was unplugged
I was lookin' at Doug like "Ooh, ooh, ooh"
Dude, that shit don't even make no fucking sense
Like having fuckin' arguments for payin' 50 extra cents for barbecue
Saucing on the workers at McDonald's
I don't wanna sit and argue, Good Burger shoulda taught you
We all dudes
And I'm all professional and proper
But my baby mama stopped me in a meeting (skrt, skrt)
Just to Airdrop me some nudes
Hot damn, hot water, hot shower
Hotlanta, smoking green, cauliflower (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Tangerine, yeah, I call her sweet and sour
And my lawyer say it's urgent, I'ma call him in a hour
Yeah, hopped off the flight, Louis V, off white (ooh)
I just made a dub and she tryna spend the night (uh)
Heard they need more, yeah, my jeans Dior (ooh)
Shawty got cake if you tryna eat more
Think they need more, I think they need more (ooh, ooh, ooh)
This the second run, I'm tryna speed more (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Going stupid, going crazy (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Big gas in that Mercedes (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Pull up lit, going 30 (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Pull up Vic, uh, in a hurry (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Shoot your shot, flex a lot (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Big cheese, hella knots (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Chopped and screwed, Michael Watts (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Point 'em out, air 'em out (skrt, skrt)
Get me right, sippin' Sprite (skrt, skrt)
180, half pipe (skrt, skrt)
Ooh
Hot damn, hot water, hot shower
Hotlanta, smoking green, cauliflower
Tangerine, yeah, I call her sweet and sour
And my lawyer say it's urgent, I'ma call him in a hour
Goddamn
Think I got a new lawsuit, I need to come see you (what's that?)
I got a new whip, you know what a car do?
Turn your bitch to a eater (mmh)
She say we don't got enough room to get freaky in here
'Cause it's just a two-seater (okay, question)
Am I still considered a trick if I get her a hoopty
And buy me a Beamer? (uh-uh)
I had a new case but the judge had to throw it out
My lawyer beat it like Tina
I always find a way to get ahead with my intelligence
When they critique my demeanor (ha!)
Today I'll dress up a Republican (what else?)
And go get some head from a white man's daughter
Her lips aren't big but I'm loving it (mwah)
I'll get in, fake ID, I'm McLovin it (yeah)
BDB ENT like the government (what?)
Except for the cops (who?), mission impossible
Strapped with a Glock, Danny Gloverin'
Tip a hundred if you let my cousin in
You know everybody my cousin (cuz)
Oh yeah, and I gotta be thuggin' it
'Cause my hair can get nappy as fuck
I wear jewelry and I got that chocolate coloring
Well at least, you know, that's what they make me feel like
Why they make you feel like that?
I don't know, I mean it's America right?
Ooh, hot damn, hot water, hot shower
Hotlanta, smoking green, cauliflower (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Tangerine, yeah, I call her sweet and sour
And my lawyer say it's urgent, I'ma call him in a hour
And then the smoke got me

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
