| The Beatles and the Velvet Underground both had songs called "What Goes On"--hard to know which JEW is referring to. "Authority Song" is a John Mellencamp song. | |

| Great song. To me its about plucking up the courage to ask someone out but then having doubts as youre walking upto them and that means youll prolly look like a fool. And the songs mentioned, i think, are like..... songs that will give him the confidence to do it. :) | |

| Yeah, I'm definitely feeling these songs about being up in a club or a bar, either just for dancing, or for meeting someone, namely this, Splash Turn & Twist, Softer, Crush, A Praise Chorus. Such great themes. I think Authority Song is about meeting a girl for the first time. "I'm not scared anymore" is about getting the courage to do so. "I've got no secret purpose.." is meaning something along the lines of being absolutely legit in conversation with whoever he's meeting. Like you walk up to a girl to talk to her just cause you'd like to have a conversation with her. "I don't seem obvious, do I?" Meaning "you don't see through me, do you? :)" Every other lyric is music / jukebox related. Awesome, awesome song | |
