Okay, I know not all songs have a meaning to them. Accept this as I do, I am still puzzled by a song by LEN, called Steal My Sunshine. Does this confusing mess of words have a solid meaning?
Note : lyrics deleted. Read the sticky thread at the top of the thread list, please.
Psst! Read the sticky at the top of the forum!
Those lyrics are a clear example of what smoking WAY too much pot will do to your brain.
It is one of my favorite songs, it’s just one of those songs where even though the lyrci makes less then no sense, the melody is good enough to carry the song and the words don’t jump out at you and ruin it.
Especially with all the spoken word stuff in it.
That’s a great piece of music.
How could you go wrong when you use a riff from “More, More, More” - a disco classic done by a porn star?
I always figured it was (very vaguely) about thinking longingly about someone you love, looking forward to seeing them around, worrying that you’re screwing up, etc.
Very, very vaguely.
Steal My Post Time
Hey welby, yeah Euty, hey have you talked to meato lately?
uhh, i havent really talked to him but he looks pretty, uh, down
ha ha ha, he looks pretty, uh, down
yeah, well, maybe we should cheer him up then
what do you, uh, suppose we should do?
well, does he like butter tarts?
I was posting on the boards on Sunday morning of last week
Indulging in my Straight Dope treat
But my thread was thugged all laced and bugged all twisted wrong and beat
'Cause Euty had come to delete
Now the fuzzy stare from it not being there on a confusing morning weak
Impaired my Doper posting speak
And of course you can’t be dumb and should only do what Eut wants done
Or you’ll miss a million miles of fun
I know it’s up for me
Euty steals my post-time
Making sure I don’t think too deep
Euty steals my post-time
Posting verses is not sweet
Welby, c’mere c’mere, c’mere
wow, look at him
i know
i’ve never seen Meato look so bad before
i did once before, but this is pretty bad
yeah, what do you think he got up to last night?
ha ha ha
well, i, Meato we love you
I was lurking on the boards in my bunny slippered feet
l-a-t-e-r that week
I checked my thread for reaponses that were normal and complete
An incredible eight-post heap
Now the bunny feet are tapping muscial beats while I eat rice krispie treats
So I think I’ll post a lyric sheet
Buy Euty’s on the gun and my lyric post is gone
So I missed a million miles of fun
I know it’s up for me
Euty steals my post-time
Making sure I’m not in too deep
Euty steals my post-time
Keeping versed and on my feet
I know it’s done for me
Euty steals my post-time
Not as some and hard to see
Euty steals my post-time
Damn it’s dumb to be a lyric theif
Euty steals my post-time
My post-time
Euty steals my post-time
I really need to check Cafe Society more often so that I can get my Euty parody lyric fix.
Welby-Nice, that had me rolling.
Seems I violated the SDMB rules again…Gulp…I didn’t mean to your honor…It was asking for it!
Did you see the dress the SDMB was wearing?
I can’t say much more than I Hate This Song.
I like the video – they’re zipping down the road on vespas; the lead singer is singing and when the “Steal My Sunshire” refrain comes on, his sister stands up on the back of the scooter and sings that. But at one point in the song the little refrain isn’t there but the girl forgets that (as I always used to do when I would sing along on the radio), stands up and starts to sing it, which is when you realize that they’re actually lipsynching (because she blows it) but then, the best part is that she knows she blew it and you can see (but of course not hear) her go “Fuck!”
It’s classic.

Me too. I really hate the song, because of whatever synthesizer trick they’re using to create the “beat”. They managed to make one of the most annoying sounds ever put in a song…however, “Feelin’ Alright” doesn’t make my head ache, so I guess they’re not all bad.
They shot the video in Daytona Beach during Spring Break.
Just thought you’d be interested.
I like the dancing pregnant chick.
