Song lyrics one liners that anyone under 30 won’t understand

[ebikeerwidnes]

Lucy in the sky = LSD
Being for the benefit of Mr Kite = Henry the horse = Hero1n

They have denied Lucy in the Sky stands for LSD

somewhere there is someone that believes them!

Walkin' about with a head full of music
Cassette in my pocket and I'm gonna use it
Stereo, out on the street you know
Oh-woah-woah, woah-woah-woah

Cliff Richard Wired for Sound

Sent a telegram today
Tomorrow you’ll be on your way
Could be Memphis or L.A.
No questions just get out and play

Nazareth

They were probably so full of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds at the time that didn't even realise that that was where they got the idea from!

I do wonder about 'you've got that James Dean daydream look in your eyes'. I remember there being James Dean and (Marilyn Monroe) stuff about when I was a teenager and despite knowing who they were it meaning absolutely nothing to me culturally. So kids ten years ago, or even kids today (Taylor's version), are they going to understand the reference? They have a different context in knowing who the song's actually referring to and the ability to look it all up online so maybe.

Anyway, he never goes out of style.

Would people under 30 really not know what phone boxes or cassettes are? Still around today after all.

Do you mean the box your phone is delivered in? Or those things on the street with machines for reviving old people?

OK, now my turn: do under-30s REALLY not have these things in their world??

Wish I had a grey Cortina
Whiplash aerial, racing trim
Cortina owner - no one meaner
Wish that I could be like him

TRB

I actually did have a grey Cortina, albeit lacking racing trim, and whiplash arial (no point without a radio). How cool I must have been

A pint of beer was still ten bob......

I doubt a pint of beer was every ten bob !

It was 26 new pence when we first started visiting pubs

Buck Roger’s by Feeder from 2001. Only 23 years old but it references CD players in cars. How quaint.

He's got a brand new car
Looks like a jaguar
It's got leather seats
It's got a CD player
