[The voices you hear on Evil Dildo were taken from
Brian's answer machine...]

Hey motherf**ker, I'm after you. I know where you live.

I will f**k you up the ass and I will sneak into your
room and cut your cock off and stuff it in my mouth
and chew it up with my little teeth.

    Hmm...great song. Mostly instrumental, but I think it speaks for itself and doesn't need words. Word is the "Hey, motherfucker, I'm after you. I know where you live" part is from Brian's answering machine.

    Yeah, when Placebo became "famous" Brian forgot to take his number out of the phone book and so got various death threats and fans calling him. This was taken from his answering machine. After this happening he moved home so it wouldn't happen again.

    The answering machine samples are actually from the Aphex Twin song 'Funny Little Man', which was released before "Without You I'm Nothing" (1997).

    Nuke is right. 99% of Placebo-fans I talk to about this song doesn't know that it's taken from "Funny Little Man". Wonder if Placebo know it themselves, I can't seem to remember if it's noted in the inlay of the album and I haven't got it here with me

    The actual lyrics from Aphex Twin are: "Come on little funny man, come on, come on! I would like to fuck you up the bunghole, and then I will sneak into your room and cut your cock off and chew it up with my little pearlies."

    Now this is so very similar to the 'lyrics' in Evil Dildo that it seems to be linked. Either Placebo used those words and changed them for their own song, or the guy who called up Brian was familiar with the Aphex Twin song and decided to use these particular words. This is all assuming the Aphex Twin song came out before the Placebo one?

    It seems more likely that the phone-caller used Aphex Twin, than Placebo deliberately using those lyrics from their own song. Brian clearly stated that he put the actual voices from his answering machine to piss the callers off, pass them off as jerks.

    So yeah...

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
