Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / July 2007a matter of interpretation - what's your spin?
Ok, husband and I are disagreeing about the interpretation of a particular couplet in Todd Rundgren's song, We Gotta Get you a Woman [below]. Who would like to add their twist to the interpretation of the two lines I've put >> in front of? We will be interested and amused to hear your input. You will not add fuel to the fire, believe me! -Aula Leroy, boy, is that you? I thought your post-hangin' days were through, Sunk-in eyes and full of sighs, Tell no lies, you get wise, I tell you now we're gonna pull you through, There's only one thing left that we can do. We gotta get you a woman, It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive. We gotta get you a woman, We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now. Leroy, boy, you're my friend You say how and I'll say when Come and meet me down the street Take a seat, it's my treat You may not ever get this chance again That empty feeling's just about to end. Talkin' 'bout life and what it means to you, It don't mean nothin' if it don't run through I got one thing to say, you know it's true You got to find some time to get this thing together. >>Talkin' 'bout things about that special one >>They may be stupid but they sure are fun I'll give it to you while we're on the run Because we ain't got time to get this thing together, 'cause we Got to get together with a woman who has been around, One who knows better than to let you down, Let's hope there's still one left in this whole town, And that she'll take some time to get this thing together. We gotta get you a woman And when we're through with you, We'll get me one too. >>>Talkin' 'bout things about that special one >>>They may be stupid but they sure are fun The two guys (Leroy and the narrator) are sitting around chatting about girls and the silly things they do together, things that may seem stupid are fun when you are doing them with a special person. Like, throwing rocks in a pond, people-watching at the mall, feeding animals at the dairy where you get ice cream, doing donuts in the parking lot, etc. I've heard that song many times, but after reading those lyrics , I think that song is about buying the services of a prostitute. > The two guys (Leroy and the narrator) are sitting around chatting about > girls and the silly things they do together, things that may seem stupid > are fun when you are doing them with a special person. > Like, throwing rocks in a pond, people-watching at the mall, feeding > animals at the dairy where you get ice cream, doing donuts in the parking > lot, etc. That si hubby's take on it. I was thinking more he [writer] was calling women 'stupid'. Even so, the song is singable, so it sticks in one's brain. > I've heard that song many times, but after reading those lyrics , I think > that song is about buying the services of a prostitute. Now that's not something I'd come up with before. Hmmmmmm...... -Aula > Ok, husband and I are disagreeing about the interpretation of a particular > couplet in Todd Rundgren's song, We Gotta Get you a Woman [below]. Who [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] > And when we're through with you, > We'll get me one too. I guess I had always thought that one guy was telling another guy that he needed a woman (relationship) to get or stay off of drugs. > I guess I had always thought that one guy was telling another guy that he > needed a woman (relationship) to get or stay off of drugs. Both of us had concluded the first part of your interpretation, but neither of us had thought of the reason for needing the relationship. Ain't it fun how so many people can hear one song [or poem] and come up with so many different interpretations! -Aula >> I guess I had always thought that one guy was telling another guy that he >> needed a woman (relationship) to get or stay off of drugs. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > -Aula Have you ever seen the websites that talk about lyrics gone wrong? There used to be a website called "what I thought I heard" but I can't seem to find it now. It was VERY funny! :) > Have you ever seen the websites that talk about lyrics gone wrong?

If you find it again, post the url because I suspect it would be hilarious. I know I've murdered a few songs horribly, only to later discover what the true lyrics were. Ah, if they only enunciated their words more clearly, or turned down that whatever it was that masked their words! Then we'd all have had it right from the git-go, eh? -Aula >> Have you ever seen the websites that talk about lyrics gone wrong?

Thanks! /runs back to see about Smoke on The Water...... -Aula >>> Have you ever seen the websites that talk about lyrics gone wrong? >>> There used to be a website called "what I thought I heard" but I can't [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > www.kissthisguy.com ah,,, that would be the one!
