Queen: Bohemian Rhapsody- " "

Eminem: Kim- Him killing his Wife

Pink Floyd: [album] Dark Side Of The Moon- Madness

Bob Dylan: Blowing In The Wind- A protest song, philosophical about peace, war and freedom

Can some one remind me about the story behind that song "Sweet Home Alabama" did'nt they die in a plane crash or something?

I know that Sweet Home Alabama is a slam on Neil Young for writing "Southern Man."

Teen Spirit? Kurt's girlfriend/wife/whoever wrote on a wall one time that Kurt smelled like "Teen Spirit," a type of deodorant, though I don't know what it means for sure. The line, "Here we are now, entertain us" was kind of his icebreaker line whenever he went to parties.

That one I know...that was actually a "poke" aimed at Neil Young at the time...

"Well I heard mister young sing about her
Well, I heard ole neil put her down
Well, I hope neil young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow"

Neil Young had previously released "Southern Man" and another song "Alabama" this was their answer to those songs.

Van Zant, Gaines & his wife and the road manager died in a plane crash...the album Street Survivors had been released or was just being released...the cover photo was a picture of the group surrounded in flames...they pulled the album and re-did the cover afterwards. Some with the flame cover are still around though, had one myself...eerie picture considering how they died.

I've heard that Bohemian Rhapsody is about a guy who gave another guy AIDS.

You know what song I never understood? Chuck Berry's "My Ding-A-Ling." I've listened to it 1700 times, yet I still have no idea what on earth the lyrics could mean.

Nirvana: Smells Like Teen Spirit- does anyone know?


I saw a deodorant once that was named "Teen Spirit" and I mentioned it to a group of young women at work and they laughed and laughed and then got embarrassed because I didn't know why they were laughing. Later I learned it was a very popular song in their circle.

When someone who looks like this asks me to smell something, I run far away.

I think the bikini is a metaphor for world peace.
