DANNY
Summer lovin' had me a blast


SANDY
Summer lovin' happened so fast


DANNY
Met a girl, crazy for me


SANDY
Met a boy, cute as can be


SANDY & DANNY
Summer days slippin' away
To ah- oh those summer nights


BURGER PALACE BOYS
Tell me more, tell me more


ROGER
Did you get very far?


PINK LADIES
Tell me more, tell me more


MARTY
Like, does he have a car?


DANNY
She swam by me, she got a cramp


SANDY
He ran by me, got my suit damp


DANNY
I saved her life, she nearly drowned


SANDY
He showed off, splashing around


ALL
Summer sun, something's begun
Then ah- oh those summer nights


PINK LADIES
Tell me more, tell me more


FRENCHY
Was it love at first sight?


BURGER PALACE BOYS
Tell me more, tell me more


KENICKIE
Did she put up a fight!


DANNY
Took her bowling in the arcade


SANDY
We went strolling, drank lemonade


DANNY
We made out under the dock


SANDY
We stayed out till ten o'clock


SANDY & DANNY
Summer fling don't mean a thing
But ah- oh those summer nights


BURGER PALACE BOYS
Tell me more, tell me more


SONNY
But you don't have to brag


PINK LADIES
Tell me more, tell me more


RIZZO
`Cause he sounds like a drag


SANDY
He got friendly holding my hand


DANNY
She got friendly down in the sand


SANDY
He was sweet, just turned eighteen


DANNY
Well she was good, you know what I mean


SANDY & DANNY
Summer heat, boy and girl meet
But ah- oh those summer nights


PINK LADIES
Tell me more, tell me more


JAN
How much dough did he spend?


BURGER PALACE BOYS
Tell me more, tell me more


DOODY
Could she get me a friend?


SANDY
It turned colder, that's where it ends


DANNY
So I told her we'd still be friends


SANDY
Then we made our true love vow


DANNY
Wonder what she's doing now


SANDY & DANNY
Summer dreams ripped at the seams
But ohh, those summer nights


BURGER PALACE BOYS & PINK LADIES
Tell me more, tell me more!

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
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."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
