Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

Discussion Threads

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Ann, that's a ferret.

It was also a favorite of mine when it came out. But I was later told that it's rumored to be about receiving oral sex for the first time. Based largely on the lines "On your face, I see a trace of love" and, from the chorus, "I have never been loved like this before."

And in 1974 or thereabouts, when the song came out, oral sex was illegal in quite a few states.

Of course, there's plenty of room for other interpretations, which is why I said "may" be about, etc. The songwriters can tell us what they really meant.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Jeez, if you wanna throw statutory rape into the mix, you're opening the door to about 50% of all rock music from all the way back to "Work With Me, Annie" through "I Saw Her Standing There" and on to "I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Now I have "girl, You'll be a woman soon" stuck in my head.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Sophia, I was about to post that!

Also "Little Sister." Ick.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've moved on to "Hit Me Baby One More Time."

Somehow the thought of "hit me baby one more time" gets me singing that "Do that to me one more time, once is never enough, with a man like you-oo-oo. Woah."

Not to mention "Go Away Little Girl." And "Sweet and Innocent."

Though whoever decided Donny Osmond should record both of those is guilty mainly of bad taste. Which at least technically isn't criminal.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"I Saw Her Standing There" would be a matter of jurisdiction.

The Beatles version, yes. Was Tiffany 18 yet when she recorded it?
