This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I really do appreciate the fact you're sittin' here
Your voice sounds so wonderful
But your face don't look too clear
So, barmaid, bring a pitcher, another round of brew
Honey, why don't we get drunk and screw
Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a water bed, it's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen, honey, I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw
Pick it, Coral Reefers, here we go
Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a water bed, it's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen, honey, I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw
Yeah, now, baby, I say (Lord)
Why don't we get drunk and screw
Your voice sounds so wonderful
But your face don't look too clear
So, barmaid, bring a pitcher, another round of brew
Honey, why don't we get drunk and screw
Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a water bed, it's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen, honey, I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw
Pick it, Coral Reefers, here we go
Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a water bed, it's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snuff queen, honey, I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw
Yeah, now, baby, I say (Lord)
Why don't we get drunk and screw

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.

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.
Mountain Song

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."

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.
This never actually has happened to me in any bar I've been to, although the "get drunk and screw" at a bar concept is prevelant everywhere in life - in fiction, movies, in jokes. A lot of people THINK about it, but I must be going to the wrong bars because I've never actually seen this phenomenon in ACTION. I think it's mostly a publicity notion to get patrons to their bars, because most bars are boring or nobody has the courage.... I'll shut up with my rant now.
I Love Jimmy Buffett, but I hate this song. It Just seems so tasteless.
When I was a kid, my parents would play the cd album "Songs Your Know By Heart" in the car on trips to the beach. They always skipped past this song. I listened to it the other day, and decided that I hadn't been missing much. Funny, yes; listen again, no.
haha i was a parrot head since i could stand, and i used to go to concerts on my daddys shoulders and i knew every word to every song and id sing along. aat my second concert, when i was 6, i was on the big mega screen up front, and he started changing the words for all the kids from "why dont we get drunk and scre" to "why dont we get lunch and school" hah im 15 now and il be going to my 12th concert this summer
how could noone post about this song. its the most obvious of meanings but at the same time classic. this song puts into words what most other musicians are scared to, just flat out says what everyone is looking to do when they go to the bar, get drunk and get laid. gotta love it.
Jimmy said he watched a businessman trying to pick up a hooker and it just came to him. He said he already people like Conway Twitty already doing so pretty racy stuff, like "Let's Go All the Way." I think he just wanted to cut the BS.
Buffett got tired of hearing those new country songs with hidden sexual meanings so he just wrote a song that flat out says it
Great song to hear live with which to sing along.
This song is a parady on all country songs. He never meant it to be beautiful or anything, he wrote it to make fun of country (kind of ironic now, as more and more people consider him a country artist).
La Grange, same exact thing over here, now I just skip it anyway, Songs you know by heart is still a great album though
