Apparently Mr. Big is huge in Japan. That's all I have to say by way of prologue, because I couldn't find any other interesting tidbits online.
Also, the Internet appears to have been scrubbed clean of the video for this song, so here's a live performance. Again, not much of interest here, except for one of the guitarists, who appears to wearing nothing but a pair of red skin-tight pants with the word "EVERYBODY" written on it multiple times. I'm not tech-savvy enough to post a screenshot but if you pause the video at the 0:29 mark you can get a good look. If anyone knows where this garment can be obtained, I would very much like to know about it.
Woot!
Hold on little girl / Show me what he's done to you / Stand up little girl / A broken heart can't be that bad
Dear boringly named lead singer Eric Martin,
This is a fairly patronizing tone to take when addressing a woman who seems to have little to no interest in you romantically. I suggest you refrain from calling her a "little girl" and instead emphasize her womanhood. Additionally, the advice that "a broken heart can't be that bad" is probably not what she wants to hear right now. Instead of trivializing her problems, I would recommend trying to empathize with her and show that you understand. Finally, try wearing no shirt and a pair of red skin-tight pants emblazoned with the word "EVERYBODY." I'm told the ladies really like this look. Especially Japanese ladies.
Best,
Miss Manners
When it's through, it's through / Fate will twist the both of you / So come on baby, come on over / Let me be the one to show you
What are you going to show her? Hmm? Is it ... YOUR PENIS??
I'm the one who wants to be with you / Deep inside I hope you'll feel it too
Hmm, what *exactly* is she going to feel deep inside of her? Hmmmmmm???? Could it be ... YOUR PENIS????
Note: The last two comments by me are much funnier if you read them in the Church Lady voice. Note #2: Not sure exactly why I chose to go in this direction here, but I'm gonna stick with it.
Waited on a line of greens and blues / Just to be the next to be with you
What precisely is green and blue? Could it be ... uh, OK, that doesn't work.
In fact, I have no clue what this lyric is supposed to be about. "A line of greens and blues"? Also, the idea of a man "waiting on a line" to be the next to be with a woman reminds me of this lovely woman who apparently slept with 620 men in one day, only to be thwarted by an even classier lady who went all the way to 919. (Is that really possible? The source of this information is the German newspaper "Die Welt," which was founded by Theodore Herzl and appears to be at least somewhat reputable. If you will it, it is no dream, I suppose.)
Build up your confidence / so you can be on top for once
Are we talking about sexual positions here? I think we are. This song is dirty, dirty, dirty!
Wake up, who cares about / Little boys that talk too much
Hmm, maybe the person to whom this song is addressed is, in fact, a little girl. "Creepiness" and "criminal activity" tags? I think so.
I've seen it all go down
"Go down." My mind is officially in the gutter.
Your game of love was all rained out
This might be in the top 10 worst lyrics out of all the songs I've posted. And it's not even a double entendre! Or ... wait a minute ... ewwwwwww.
So come on baby, come on over / Let me be the one to hold you
Break it down!
Why be alone when we can be together baby / You can make my life worthwhile / I can make you start to smile
Yes, that's right ... he can make you start to smile .... with ...
wait for it ...
HIS PENIS!!!!
Congratulations, people! We did it! Most vulgar post yet, narrowly edging out this one. Good night, Tokyo!
I always thought it was "Waitin' on a line of feelin' blue" , because he was feeling blue, see, waiting to be the "next to be" with her. So my fake lyrics actually make more sense than the real lyrics. Good to know.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I encounter a strange term in a song, I just assume it's drug-related.
ReplyDelete"Waited on a line of greens and blues" = spiked her drink with a bunch of pills and is waiting for them to take effect.
