Most people would assume "Big Balls" is quite unambiguously referring to the size of Bon' Scott's testicles, whereas if you read the lyrics carefully, it's actually a celebration of joyous high society occasions involving revelry and dancing. 5 Quote

Err... exactlerly my point, just as 'Sink the Pink' is clearly about snooker whatever smutty minds think 🙂 Quote
dave_bass5 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I can honestly say i have no idea what any song is about. Never really listen to the lyrics. Quote
Stub Mandrel Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) How about the song in this advert from the 1980s? Bet I'm not the only person who fell off their chair ROTFLMAO the first time they saw this on TV... http://www.britsetarchive.com/adverts/m/makeroommushrooms.html Funky riff too, transcribed for Bass 🙂 G|--------------------------------------- D|-9---9-----------12---------------- A|---------12-10--------------------- E|--------------------------10\3------ Edited March 15, 2019 by Stub Mandrel Quote
Andy_L Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Supposedly Iggy Pop's China Girl isn't actually about heroin, as I'd assumed for many years, but a woman, Kuelan Nguyen. Quote

I have often listened to this and thought am I hearing this right. I’m not sure if it’s f*ckers or something else. Can’t believe they let that one go. It repeats endlessly! Quote

DaveFry Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Without my walking stick, I'd go insane I can't look my best, I feel undressed without my cane Must have my walking stick 'cause it may rain When it pours, can't be outdoors without my cane If I ever left my house without my walking stick Well, it would be something I could never explain Oh, the thing that makes me click on lover's lane Would go for naught if I were caught without my cane Be, bop, bop, de, la, dum, be, bop, a, da, bum Re, bop, be, a, rop, a, de, bop Rump, a, de, dum, ra, da, da, de Re, bop, bop, la, da, dum, re, bop, be, de, a Rop, a, de, bum, rop, a, de, bum Deet, de, de, a, ra, da, da, dum If I ever left my house without my walking stick Well, it would be something I could never explain Oh, the thing that makes me click on lovers lane Would go for naught if I were caught without my cane Louis had served his time learning his craft working in a resident band on a steam powered paddleship up and down the Mississippi . Imagine this song in the context of a bar band on a Hamburg to Amsterdam ferry Or Steely Dan . The Ellington tune Satin Doll might refer to gin - which was illegal during the Prohibition , but I suspect Louis was just singing a pop song about 'caine here. Quote
