Nope... that was based on a very, very fat girl that Bon Scott used to bang. She was huge, but she was the best lay he ever had....Whole Lotta Rosie - AC/DC (???)

Call it my fromage poetic side, but here's a poem/song I wrote that came to me after seeing an SP:
Happily Ever After
Your four o'clock
walks through your door
I smile and
You smile
A wink
A peck
An embrace
If for a moment
There was something...
A fleeting flame
Flickers in lonely hearts
Sixty minutes
Another customer
On the clock but
Six seconds of your eyes
Touching mine
Is all I need
To fill warmth
Inside me
Let's pretend
If for a moment
There is no one else
Just us
*
Five to five
Booked for an hour
My time is almost up
Human touch commodified
A wink
A peck
An embrace
If for a moment
There was something...
A fleeting flame
Flickers in lonely hearts
In truth, you provided an explanation of what the director of a garish 80s MTV video likely intended his interpretation to be. The song itself (without the video) is just another plaint from a taxi dancer/stripper/implied prostitute about her dreary, dehumanized existence (and presumably doomed hopes for a better life), no more than that: "I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money, I'll do what you want me to do." "You don't look at their faces or ask them their name."Hmmmmm.....
HankQuinlan lists Tina Turner's Private Dancer and I have to agree but for reasons many might not understand.
The song is about Tina selling her soul to the devil in exchange for fame and fortune.
She is the devils private dancer. The ultimate form of prostitution.
I will post an explanation of the song if I can find it to cut and paste.
Not to be picky, but she didn't write the song. Mark Knopfler did, and gave it to her instead of recording it for Dire Straits. Again, not talking about the video -- for all I know she was involved in that kind of intention with the video. But the song is just the song; nothing in the lyrics to justify a hi-falutin' thesis.Hey HankQuinlan,
You are judging intent which we can't fairly do.
There are many layers to decoding the song and video so my sense is you are only seeing 1 of them. Did you take into account that this is not a unique analysis instead it is par for the course. ie all music and videos. Take into account that she is a Freemason which is a tax free church that is best described as Luciferian. Did she incorporate her religious beliefs into her writing or video. Did you recognize the Freemason symbols and codes in the video? If so you could assume her intent might have been beyond expressing a dehumanized mundane existence?
There are 2 main messages in songs and videos. One for the public- usually a love story. Second one of spirituality /lusiferianism whose story trumps the first. This is why pop videos and songs often don't make sense.
Hotel California is a song that is about the deal or the ritual though the video isn't. This example is to show that songs are actually intended to be what I am saying. Stairway to Heaven is about enlightenment as an example.
I did'nt think anyone else would have come up with the Soul Asylum song but you beat me to it.Congrats on your knowledge of obscure tracks by semi-sucessfull 90's bands.Pretty good songs about soiled doves:
