    What exactly is 'Rolling in the deep', and what does 'Teen Spirit' actually smell like?

    And is going Back to Black simply turning off the lights?

    Teen Spirit is a deodorant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,332 ✭✭✭Guill


    Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you.
    Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye, never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

    I thought so too way back then, until I found out a chimney is supposed to mean a black eye, then it made sense


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli


    Supposedly a friend of Kurt Cobains girlfriend told him he smells like teen spirit and that became the name of the song.

    I'd like to know what the hell "Are we human or are we denser/dancer" means and more importantly why that mostrosity of a song was released upon us.

    Wasn't this a reference to "The Wizard of Oz"? Specifically the house lying on the wicked witch of the west (the chimney).

    Still a ****ing stupid lyric......

    I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
    See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
    I'm crying.

    Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
    Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
    Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
    I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
    I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

    Mister City Policeman sitting
    Pretty little policemen in a row.
    See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.
    I'm crying, I'm crying.
    I'm crying, I'm crying.

    Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
    Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
    Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.
    I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
    I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

    Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
    If the sun don't come, you get a tan
    From standing in the English rain.
    I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
    I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.

    Expert textpert choking smokers,
    Don't you thing the joker laughs at you?
    See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
    See how they snied.
    I'm crying.

    Semolina pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
    Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna.
    Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
    I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
    I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.
    Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob g'goo... (etc.)

    And I've no idea what it has to do with this guy...

    I heard at the time that "chimney" was street slang for a black eye, though I don't see the connection between the two. EDIT: Beaten to it!

    If I could have my wasted days back
    Would I use them to get back on track?
    Stop to warm at Karma's burning
    Or look ahead, but keep on turning?

    Do I have the strength
    To know how I'll go?
    Can I find it inside
    To deal with what I shouldn't know?

    Could I have my wasted days back
    Would I use them to get back on track?

    You live it or lie it!

    My lifestyle determines my death style

    Keep searching, Keep on searching
    This search goes on, This search goes on

    Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
    Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock

    I've worn out always being afraid
    An endless stream of fear that I've made
    Treading water full of worry
    This frantic tick tick talk of hurry

    Do I have the strength
    To know how I'll go?
    Can I find inside
    To deal with what I shouldn't know?

    Worn out always being afraid
    An endless stream of fear that I've made

    You live it or lie it!

    My lifestyle determines my death style

    Keep searching, Keep on searching
    This search goes on, This search goes on
    Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock
    Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tick tock

    My lifestyle (Birth Is Pain)
    Determines my death style (Life Is Pain)
    A rising tide (Death Is Pain)
    That pushes to the other side (It's All The Same)

    What a load of S*ite

    I'm Blue da ba dee da ba daa
    I'm Blue da ba dee da ba daa...

    Teen spirit was the name of a crappy deoderant on sale in seatle, kind of like linx. Kathleen hanna, the singer for Bikini Kill wrote 'Kurt smells like teen spirit' on a wall

    Japanese punk always have the best lyrics. Can remember the band but the lyric was

    'My disgracefull behaviour will bring dishonour on your family'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    "I wanna be a billionaire so f**kin' bad."

    It's such a bald statement with no imagination to it, and such a horrible sentiment as well.
    I wouldn't have believed a few years ago that it could be the chorus of a hit song.

    No fans of Progressive Rock here? There are some doozies in there:

    Close To The Edge by Yes:
    A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace,
    And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace,
    And achieve it all with music that came quickly from afar,
    Then taste the fruit of man recorded losing all against the hour.
    And assessing points to nowhere, leading ev'ry single one.
    A dewdrop can exalt us like the music of the sun,
    And take away the plain in which we move,
    And choose the course you're running.
    21st Century Schizoid Man by King Crimson:
    Cat's Foot, Iron Claw,
    Neurosurgeons scream for more,
    At paranoia's poison door,
    21st Century Schizoid Man
    That song was sampled by Jay-Z Kanye West last year for Power - which is just as mad:
    What do it mean to be the boss?
    It mean second place is the first one who lost
    The crucifixion, the being nailed to the cross
    Truth or fiction, it’s a hell of a cost, do the dishes
    I’m ’bout to hit that Jeff Gordon
    Michael Jordan, the only one more important
    But I be feelin’ like Jordan when I’m recordin’
    ‘Cause every time I record, I duck to slap the boards
    I don’t know what these rappers gon’ do afterwards
    Prolly spaz like I might do at the awards
    Huh, I got the whole crowd goin’ crazy
    Homie, I should be rewarded
    Gettin’ money Yeezy, Yeezy, how you do it, huh?
    Eatin’ Wheaties, drinkin’ Fiji, bein’ greedy, huh?

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Who could forget this pile of Blx Lyrics by Donna Summer


    MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
    All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
    Someone left the cake out in the rain
    I don't think that I can take it
    'cause it took so long to bake it
    And I'll never have that recipe again
    Oh, no!


    Oh No is right !:(

    I'm really torn because MacArthur Park is one of my all-time top 10 favourites but the lyrics!

    "Spring was never waiting for us girl, but ran one step ahead
    as we followed in the dance,
    Between the parted pages and were pressed, with love's hot fevered iron
    Like a striped pair of pants"

    or something like that.:confused:

    The lyric makes more sense when you discover it was pinched from a song called 'Wanna Drop A House (On That Bitch)' by Urban Discharge.

    "Just like old Saxophone Joe
    When he's got the hogshead up on his toe
    Oh me, oh my
    Love that country pie.

    Listen to the fiddler play
    When he's playin' 'til the break of day
    Oh me, oh my
    Love that country pie.

    Rasberry, strawberry, lemon and lime
    What do I care ?
    Blueberry, apple, cherry, pumpkin and plum
    Call me for dinner, honey, I'll be there.

    Saddle me up on my big white goose
    Tie me on 'er turn her loose
    Oh me, oh my
    Love that country pie.

    I don't need much and that ain't no lie
    Ain't runnin' any race
    Give to me my country pie
    I won't throw it up in anybody's face.

    Shake me up that old peach tree
    Little Jack Horner's got nothin' on me
    Oh me, oh my
    Love that country pie"

    Even the great bob dylan couldn't make a song about pie interesting
