Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Dusty Wanna Be	#1 by Dusty Delonge at Mar 19, 1970 at 11:14 AM EST
	Yes, feeling/emotions is what many consider to be what makes us 'human'. He's advocating this as the most important aspect of humanity (of which the speaker has lots of - especially for this particular girl).

No Picture Derek Lead Player	#2 by Derek O'Kanos at Nov 4, 1974 at 3:34 PM EST
	THIS SONG IS AWESOME! I think it is is about a stupid guy who loves some girl. well duh. that's all that's important anyway.

No Picture Flash Average	#3 by Flash Jaxon at Jul 22, 2004 at 5:36 AM EST
	Man, this is such a good pop song. Why has no one commented on it?? "when their logic grows cold and all thinking gets done, you'll be warm in the arms of the Mayor of Simpleton." It's genius I tells ya. As for meaning, well it seems pretty self-explanatory.
