Dear future husband

This will be a good laugh. Cos its true. 

(The man response will be in bold italics)

 

 

Dear future husband
Here's a few things you'll need to know 

if you wanna be my one and only all my life
Take me on a date, I deserve a break
And don't forget the flowers every anniversary

'Cause if you'll treat me right, I'll be the perfect wife
Buying groceries, buy-buying what you need

You got that 9 to 5, But, baby, so do I
So don't be thinking I'll be home and baking apple pies
I never learned to cook, but I can write a hook
Sing along with me, sing-sing along with me (Hey)

You gotta know how to treat me like a lady
Even when I'm acting crazy
Tell me everything's alright

Dear future husband
Here's a few things you'll need to know 

if you want to be my one and only all my life
Dear future husband
If you wanna get that special lovin'
Tell me I'm beautiful each and every night
 

After every fight, just apologize
And maybe then I'll let you try and rock my body right
Even if I was wrong, you know I'm never wrong
Why disagree? Why, why disagree?

You gotta know how to treat me like a lady
Even when I'm acting crazy
Tell me everything's alright

Dear future husband
Here's a few things you'll need to know 

if you want to be my one and only all my life (Hey, baby)
Dear future husband
Make time for me, don't leave me lonely
And know we'll never see your family more than mine

I'll be sleeping on the left side of the bed (Hey)
Open doors for me and you might get some kisses
Don't have a dirty mind, just be a classy guy
Buy me a ring, buy-buy me a ring, babe

 

You gotta know how to treat me like a lady
Even when I'm acting crazy
Tell me everything's alright

Dear future husband
Here's a few things you'll need to know 

if you want to be my one and only all my life
Dear future husband
If you wanna get that special loving
Tell me I'm beautiful each and every night
Future husband, better love me right

'take you on a date cos you deserve a break' ... sure, you want to feel special. So do I.
'flowers every anniversary' no problem. And I get .....????
'you get a perfect wife if you treat her right' So the perfect wife, that gives me what I want, awesome.
 'buying groceries and buying what we need' Nope, that's not a perfect wife. I can do that myself

We both have 9-5 jobs so I wont be home cooking,
but I can do my 9-5 job well, so.......sing the 'defies logic song' with me.

'Treat me like a lady, even when I act crazy, and reassure me' Ok, treat me like a man, even when I am acting crazy? ........Yeah I didn't think so.

'if you want me to remain faithful, til death do us part, comply with my list'
'if you want to get some (special lovin), tell me I am your one and only, daily'
HIDDEN Disclaimer: management reserves the right to refuse "entry" at anytime for whatever reason management pleases, and you cannot complain. If you refuse "entry" to management, 
YOU WILL SUFFER!! 'don't say a word dude, happy wife, happy life....... for her'

'if we fight, apologize, cos its your fault' uhhh!?!?!
'maybe i'll let you get some, maybe I won't [see disclaimer]' uhhh!?!?!
'this includes when I am wrong, which is never' uhhh!?!?!
'You disagree?? see this booty?? still disagree??' uhhh!?!?!

bridge and another chorus. [insert more of her jaw flappin] 
'don't make me feel lonely, ever.......'   O.O
'or I'll torture you with my family' uhhh!?!?!

'I'll be sleeping where I want to'  no problem.
'Be a gentleman (but not a misogynist) and do things for me, and I'll do that sexy thing you like'
[Hidden Disclaimer] see earlier. wait, what?
'Be a classy gentleman, (FOR ME ONLY) no more dirty mind' !?!?! you want classy, I want dirty

'AND PUT A RING ON THIS FINGER !!! NOW!!!' see above.

 'better love me right'  *door slams, car screeches off into the distance*

OK, I'll be serious now.
The door swings both ways, after all, equality is the name of the game.
You want to be a princess, then treat him like a prince. (and visa versa).
Love, honour, respect, communication (etc), require give and take. 

Thunderstruck by AC/DC

AC/DC isn't really a band people think of when looking for secret meanings in their songs lyrics.
They are a Rock n Roll band through and through. Which means their songs are almost always about rock n roll, or sex and drugs.  It's pretty well documented various religious groups will state the implied lyrics of various songs (hells bells, highway to hell). Or songs come under the microscope from law enforcement agencies because of a link to a crime.

Serial killer Richard Ramirez, AKA The night stalker wore an AC/DC hat (left at a crime scene) and the link was made to 'the night prowler' song. Listen for the apparent backwards message at the end of night prowler, which is actually Bon Scott signing off using the line 'shazbot nanu nanu', Robin Williams used at the end of Mork and Mindy shows. Which as it turns out, was the last song on the Highway to Hell album, and sadly, the last song we got to hear Bon sing before he died. Irony.

Anyway, I'll just blame Lachie for the song choice. He's the reason for the explaining above to flesh this page out. :P   So click the link, crank the volume and listen to 'rock n roll' that makes you drive a little faster than you should.

"Thunderstruck"

Thunder (ah ar-ar ar ar ah argh ah) [x10]

I was caught, In the middle of a railroad track (thunder)
I looked round, And I knew there was no turning back (thunder)
My mind raced, And I thought what could I do (thunder)
And I knew, There was no help, no help from you (thunder)

Sound of the drums, beating in my heart
The thunder of guns, tore me apart
You've been....
Thunderstruck

Rode down the highway, broke the limit, we hit the town
Went through to Texas, yeah Texas, and we had some fun
We met some girls, some dancers who gave a good time
Broke all the rules, played all the fools
Yeah yeah right, they, they blew our minds

I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again please
Yeah them ladies were too kind
You've been
Thunderstruck

I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again please

ah ar-ar ar ar ah argh ah [x4]
Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah 
Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
Yeah, it's alright, we're doin' fine
Yeah, it's alright, we're doin' fine, fine, fine
Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, baby, baby
Thunderstruck, you've been Thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
You've been Thunderstruck 

Ok. The chant at the start wasn't originally part of the song. Angus plays this intro made up of hammer ons, and pull offs.  (guitar speak for lots of notes fast with one hand).  And while he was on holiday they (Malcolm and co) added the chant and THUNDER!  [This is fact]

Railway tracks, symbols of "control" or 'singular direction'. (AC/DC rockband in the very beginning, middle and end) or "one track mind". 
Sound of the drums and guns. AC/DC have cannons, ever since 'For those about to rock' that fire (blanks obviously) during their shows.  [Cannons part also fact]

They went to Texas, had fun, met girls, who took clothes off. Naughtiness ensued. Much fun was had. Can we come back, and do it all again. 

Rock band playing rock tunes, sounds to me like the song is about touring. We play rock, we love it, you love it, people in the crowd have fun and sometimes get naked.  Thunderstruck.
Colour me surprised.

Like I said, not a hell of a lot going on for acca dacca songs outside of sex drugs and rock n roll.
Malcolm (left speaker) shows you can rip out a cool rhythm with just one chord. (B barre chord).
Angus doesn't play the cool intro one handed like in the film clip. He picks half the notes, and the B notes are pull offs. And it took him 13 tries during recording to get it right. (Jason Becker was in the studio beside recording the David Lee Roth's, Lil ain't enough album at the time and could hear him).

What is the deal

Some people listen to music for lyrics, some listen to the music and some listen to the complete package.  I'm a big fan of all sorts of music. It's been a part of my life for a very long time.
It is an escape like any other, be it TV, movies, books, video games or even drugs.

A songs lyrics can be made stronger by the music that accompanies it.  Falls and lifts, minor and major chords et cetera, et cetera.  I will take that into account where it calls for it. I some how doubt  songs like Barbie Girl by Aqua will call for it. Or the song I chose as a test run for the page opening.

Come on Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners 

I will be kind of cheating about the meaning of this song.. because I heard from the horses mouth

exactly what this song is about. The bands singer (and bassist) Kevin Rowland appeared on the TV show Spics and Specs (ABC music quiz show) sometime during the final 2 seasons as a contestant. He was asked (by the show host Adam Hills) what the song Come on Eileen was about, but the story never went to air as the control booth deemed the story not suitable and was cut out. The content was available as extras on the DVD release along with bloopers and other such cut content. 

I'll post the "true" version at the bottom after I have a crack at decoding the lyrics.

Come on Eileen
Come on Eileen

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
But he moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried, sang along, who'd blame them

You're grown (so grown up)
So grown (so grown up) now I must say more than ever
Come on Eileen
Too ra loo ra too ra loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen, oh I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah, come on Eileen

Pretty straight forward for the first two verses. Singer is talking to Eileen when they were kids, Johnny Ray, a musician from the 50's, whom their parents used to love. Flash forward a bit and shes older, and from the first chorus, more attractive too.  Lets go sing and dance. *wink smiley face*

These people 'round here
Wear beat down eyes sunk in smoke dried faces
They're resigned to what their fate is
But not us, (no never) no not us (no never)
We are far to young and clever

Remember, Too ra loo ra too ra loo rye aye
And you'll hum this tune forever

Come on Eileen oh I swear (what he means)
Ah come on lets, take off everything
That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on lets, ah come on Eileen
That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on lets, ah come on Eileen, please

Come on Eileen too rye aye
Come on Eileen too rye aye
Now you're full grown
Now you have shown
Oh, Eileen

They are young and carefree, not stuck in 9 to 5 jobs, slaves to the man.
Sing the nonsense words, stay young at heart.
I think its fairly safe to say the chorus isn't about "dancing" anymore.

Said, come on Eileen
These things they are real and I know
How you feel
Now I must say more than ever

Things round here have changed
I say, too ra loo ra, too ra-loo rye aye

Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Aah, come on Eileen

Oh, come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
In that dress, oh my thoughts I confess
Well, they're dirty
Come on Eileen

Fallen in love (or lust) and definitely not singing about dancing anymore.

Conclusion : Boy and Girl have grown up, fall in love (or lust). The oldest story in the book.

Now for the real meaning to the lyrics as explained by the singer.

He started a band, and Eileen was a girl he knew growing up and at one point was her boyfriend. Naturally she followed their endeavours, attending all their gigs. After the shows, she would come backstage, to party with the band. She ended up having sex with all the members over time.
AND she had a particular type of fetish (sexual) often seen in porn movies.

Yep, come on Eileen, is literally, cum on Eileen.

Coming up next : Thunderstruck by AC/DC and Tired by Stone Sour
