Once in a while I hear a familiar song and realize that I never really listened to the lyrics before.... and hmm... those are the lyrics?? I wonder what they mean!
For example, I love the "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" song by PM Dawn. It feels like the perfect summertime song (except for "Summertime", of course). But here are some lines from the song:
- Subterranean by design, I wonder what I would find if I met you, let my eyes caress you, until I meet the thought of Missess Princess Who?
- Careless whisper from a careless man, a neutron dance for a neutron fan;
- Christina Applegate, you gotta put me on. Guess who's piece of the cake is Jack gone? She broke her wishbone and wished for a sign.I told her whispers in my heart were fine.what did she think she could do?
Um ... neutron dance for a neutron fan? cake is jack gone? missess princess who? Maybe this song is a little like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" or "Puff the Magic Dragon" ... if you get me.
I'm terrible with lyrics in general though. I would totally lose on The Singing Bee.
More to come when I have more thoughts :)

I don't know about the entire part that starts off "Christina Applegate, you gotta put me on", but that line in particular references the actress, then on the popular show "Married With Children", as well as the Tribe Called Quest song "Bonita Applebum", whose chorus went "Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on."
But yes, PM Dawn's lyrics are more poetic than clear.
Maybe some thoughts on tonight's game or how the season is going so far?
