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.
[*Sound of a car driving on a busy street*]
[Taxi Driver:] Alright, sir, which side of the
street would you like to be on.
[Patron:] Yeah, that one. That side right there.
[Taxi Driver:] Yeah, okay.
The taxi driver is heard pulling over to let the man out.
[Taxi Driver:] Okay, that will be four-ninety please.
[Patron:] Yeah, yeah, here's five dollars. Keep the change.
[Taxi Driver:] Oh, fuck you!
The car door slams shut and the man is heard walking.
[Box Office Worker:] May, I help you?
[Patron:] Yeah, ah, can, can, I have one for Little Kim. Hardcore.
[Box Office Worker:] That will be ten dollars.
He hands her money and then walks through a door.
[Box Office Worker:] Fuckin' weirdo.
[*Lil' Kim's Big Momma Thang is playing in the background*]
[Concession Stand Worker:] Yeah, may I help you?
[Patron:] Yeah, ah, can I get a small order of popcorn, and
ah, ah, a large order of butter and just like a lot
of napkins please.
[Concession Stand Worker:] Butter? Anyway, am, will that be all?
[Patron:] Yeah, ah...
[Concession Stand Worker:] That'll be six-ninety-five.
The patron hands another bill over.
[Concession Stand Worker:] Ah, man, why this shit so slimey?
[Patron:] Huh!
The patron is then heard walking from the concession stand
into the screen room. Lil' Kim and a man are heard moaning
and having sex. Porno music is heard in the background.
The patron unzips his zipper. Five seconds later and a
splashing noise is heard as the patron begins masturbating.
[Patron:]
Yeah. Yeah, baby. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Come on, baby.
Yeah. Yeah. Mmm. Yeah. Yeah. Kim. Come on, Kim.
Come on. Yeah. Yeah.
The moans from the screen and the splash sound from the
masturbating patron continue.
[Patron:]
Yeah. Come on. Kim. Kim. Yeah. Yeah.
Work it, bitch!
[Taxi Driver:] Alright, sir, which side of the
street would you like to be on.
[Patron:] Yeah, that one. That side right there.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
id fuckin suck kim's pussy dry.
