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.
You beat up Fear's bass player
You were all surfers last year
3 years ago it wasn't cool
You spit on me, but I'm no one
Hey, Bobby Pyn had long hair
But you spit on Darby Crash
He had a fucking mohawk man
3 years ago forming in 1975
I'm a new waver my girlfriend's a surfer
She's more of a poser than you are
And she won't fuck you anyways
Eh, it dosen't matter, you all suck
Don't know shit about punk rock
You're just a bunch of drug addicts
Screwing up what we call fun
I hate everything, and that means you
I hate you more than I do
I got no time to sleep, time to get laid
I sleep in a *unintelligable*
Fake harcore
You're fake hardcore
You spit on the urinals
You were all surfers last year
3 years ago it wasn't cool
You spit on me, but I'm no one
Hey, Bobby Pyn had long hair
But you spit on Darby Crash
He had a fucking mohawk man
3 years ago forming in 1975
I'm a new waver my girlfriend's a surfer
She's more of a poser than you are
And she won't fuck you anyways
Eh, it dosen't matter, you all suck
Don't know shit about punk rock
You're just a bunch of drug addicts
Screwing up what we call fun
I hate everything, and that means you
I hate you more than I do
I got no time to sleep, time to get laid
I sleep in a *unintelligable*
Fake harcore
You're fake hardcore
You spit on the urinals

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
No, not "kind of weird"... Kind of awesome.
A couple nitpicks...
For one thing, in keeping with the standard Descendents song-naming conventions, the title should be "Tonyage" (one word). It should probably also read "Fear's bass player" not "fearl's" (as in the LA band Fear). "Bobby pin" should probably be "Bobby Pyn," which was Darby Crash's (nee Jan Paul Beahm) original pseudonym and, finally, the final line should read "you spit on the Urinals" (yet another early LA band).
Clearly this is about trendy surfers and new wavers (the latter the bane of early '80s hardcore) who flocked to the punk scene when it became the cool place to be, when only a few years years earlier they'd been spitting on such luminaries as Darby Crash.
If anyone's more punk than anyone here it's Milo and Friends (obviously still clinging to his Cool Guy cred for the time being, [cf, Coolidge]).
Still: not "weird"... "Awesome."
i thiiiiiiiiink this song is about these kids that are more "punk" than anyone because of who they are, just peopel thinking they are better than others, and they just get into the scene and think they have the right to tell these guys, and darby crash, that they aren't punk... but this song is kind of weird
fear's bass player, derf scratch, got beat up by a bunch of surfer jocks and, as a result, his face was shattered. apparently a picture of him with a drainage cup on the side of his head made it to rolling stone magazine.
great song. all the bands referenced, or the bands of the people referenced, in the song are pretty awesome, too -fear, the germs, the urinals.
I finally figured out a somewhat muddled, often misquoted portion of the lyrics. It's really just a word or two.
At the part that begins with "I'm a new waver...", he says, "She's more posed than you are", not "she's more a trendy than you are."
is milo anti-sex?
