*snicker* I stand corrected.  That doesn't mean the song doesn't still suck wang, though, 'cos even in Winnipeg, does the snow coming down in June have anything to do with saving the best for last? I mean, maybe if the snow came down in, like, April... but in June, ain't it just gonna piss people off? Dammit! Now I'm thinking about it too much! *stamp/huff* |

Okay, can someone explain to me The Beattle's Yellow Submarine. What the hell is that song about? It's damn catchy but good god it makes no sense. Was it just the product of too many drugs? Is there supposed to be some hidden meaning?

Natasha Bedingfield's lyrics to These Words are so lame they send me into a rage. Example: Streams of conciousness are so junior high, Nat. |

Personally, I think Yellow Submarine was just a goof. As in The Beatles were just getting high and being silly and wrote a catchy tune. Because, you know, when you're high, we all really DO live in a yellow submarine. Our friends are ALL on board, and all the potheads live next door. Put a band on (the turntable) and they'll begin to play (Sgt. Pepper, doncha know). I think a lot of the song is just goofy "high"-ness.... like when you and your stoner friends in college had inside jokes. Then again, I AM a long time Beatlemaniac, like from the time I was 5 or so.... so I could be reading too much into it. |

Ooh, is that single now out in North America? It was being played near-constantly last summer over in Europe. I'm depressed to know she's now crossed the Atlantic, just when I'm moving back. Wait 'til you hear the next single: "I Bruise Easily". Every time I hear it, I always want to find out first-hand if she does.
Sample lyrics:
Go away, Nat. And take your banal, fortune-cookie philosophizing with you.
ETA: The stupid lyrics aren't even compensated for by something approaching a decent melody, either. Decent melodies can sometimes make me forgive (or try really hard to overlook) stupid lyrics.

That's pretty much what I figured. I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't some great political or social commentary I was missing. I'm pretty slow when it comes to finding the hidden meaning in songs.
Bad as in I was listening to some Everclear song on the radio that I had listened to a hundred times before. The DJ started talking about how it was written and I'm all That song's about drugs?! And it all made sense I just have to have it pointed out before I get it.
But yeah, Yellow Submarine definitly seemed like it was written in a drug induced haze.

Oh, you better believe it. So, yeah, the whole "Snow in June? That's just like saving the best for last!" makes no sense at all.

I'm from Texas, so I know nothing of this...snow...of which you all speak. That's the shit on my TV when the cable's out, right?
I think we can all agree that this is pretty much R. Kelly's thread. I mean...you remind me of my Jeep? Feelin' on yo' booty? Like two gorillas in the jungle making love!? And he's supposed to be the Stevie Wonder of MY generation? GITDAFUKKOUTAHEAHWITDATBULLSHIT!

"Well you're a little bit older and a lot less bolder than you used to be..." From Bob Segar's Rock & Roll never forgets. I believe in artistic license and all, but that just crosses the line!
Also, "Songs she sang to me, songs she brang to me..." from that Neil Diamond song. Is "brang" even a word?

Wow, if old Neil had forced that rhyme any harder, he would have burst a blood vessel! Yea, brang is a word if you believe that, "She done jes' brang me a sammich" is grammatically correct  PS--The past tense of "bring" is "brought." |
