Name a song that got you so pumped everytime you heard it...... |
|
but when you found out what it was about, kinda took the steam out of it.
Mine would be "under the bridge" by RHCP. I remember seeing an interview with A.K. and he explained how the song was about his drug problems and how it was a low point in his life. Made me look at the song differently.

1. Congratulations on getting your sorry ass out of the 700 club |

I'm not answering this question. It's too hard to think this early in the morning. If you bring me a cup of coffee though, I might be able to come up with something! :hi:

12. You really aren't awake, are you |
|
The answer to this question is easy. Any song on the Clash's "London Calling" album gets me pumped up.

25. You're right - I'm wrong |
|
I didn't read the entire question. And yes, I was on my first cup of coffee in the morning. My bad. There's a lesson to be learned here.

16. But part two is the song lyrics have to be not what you expected.... |
|
There's nothing like listening to From Here to Eternity when I'm working out, but I don't think that's what Murph is looking for. :hi:

4. OK, this is really stupid |
|
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 09:46 AM by WildClarySage
but I used to get a big kick out of that Nelly song because I thought they were rapping about Bush being like a little kid playing at being a grown-up. "Big boy stomp'in' in my Air Force Ones!"
Then I found out it was about tennis shoes.

19. I've got one. It's called "Deny" by the Clash. The music is pure |
|
punk. But the song is about a girlfriend of Joe's with an addiction to heroin:
"Then you said you'd given it up Gone an' kicked it in the head You said you ain't had none for weeks Baby I seen your arms Baby I seen your arms
Do you think I'm a raving idiot? Just got off the boat Step in line, sign this form Baby ain't got a hope You ain't got a hope"

30. No Retreat, No Surrender |
|
Man, I loved that song when Born in the USA first came out. I pretty much wore that tape out. I was twelve years old, and that song gave me goosebumps. Truth be told, it still does. I thought it was such a perfect choice for the Kerry campaign. Two weeks before the election, I started cranking it up and driving around with all the windows and the sunroof open, sure that we would win.
I can't bear to hear the song now.
