Hidden Messages:
"Questions 67 & 68," Chickenfoot
They used some kind of special ink, I assume, because when you first take the album off a CD rack, everything on the front and back cover is black except for the logo and track numbers. Keep it in sunlight just a little while, though, and pictures of the band (as well as the track listing) become visible. Similarly, a small triangle on the inside cover eventually reveals the message, "Think Again," whatever that means.

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):
"Albedo 0.39," Van Halen
The Brown M&M never gets respect (there's no Brown M character) and Van Halen is no exception. They used this policy because they wanted to make sure that their promoters have read the contract, since in one of their venues a roadie nearly got killed and wound-up with a damage bill of 85 grand!

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Back Of My Hand" by Gemma Hayes
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Come on and give me your heart
Write it on the back of my hand.
Write it on the back of my hand.
Why They're Nonsensical:
How can you "write" someone's heart? That's not really a writable thing. You can write a name, or a sentence, or a termpaper...but not a heart. That's crazy! Furthermore, why would you wanna write it on your hand, of all places? Or...maybe she's referring to something else with the word "it", but from this passage, the antecedent would be unknown (and whatever that antecedent is, *could* be written on the hand, but it's unclear for now). Still, it sounds like she's saying 'write your heart on my hand', which clearly doesn't make any sense.

"Mr. Blue" by Fleetwoods
The Lyrics:
I'm Mr. Blue, when you say you're sorry. Then turn around headed for the lights of town, hurting me through and through. Call me Mr. Blue.
Why:
This song may have a soft feel with its jazz guitar and trombone as well as the female singers, but it's about some guy losing his love while she has fun, he cries. Garth Brooks would make an upbeat version of this song...but the song is still blue.

"To Heck With Old Santa Claus" by Loretta Lynn
The Lyrics:
So this year I'll build a big fire in the fireplace
Just like three little pigs I've read about.
And when that big bad wolf in red comes down the chimney,
He'll burn his whiskers, there'll be no doubt.
So to heck with old Santa Claus!
When he comes dashing through the show, I hope he falls.
I'd like to hit him in his ho-ho-ho
With a bunch of big snowballs!
To heck with old Santa Claus!
Just like three little pigs I've read about.
And when that big bad wolf in red comes down the chimney,
He'll burn his whiskers, there'll be no doubt.
So to heck with old Santa Claus!
When he comes dashing through the show, I hope he falls.
I'd like to hit him in his ho-ho-ho
With a bunch of big snowballs!
To heck with old Santa Claus!
Why:
This could really put a damper on anybody's Christmas spirit, whether one believes Santa Claus to be real or not! And yet it is sung to a rousing and lively tune that could fit joyful lyrics. If I were Loretta, I'd be slower to admit wanting to act like pigs, even in allusion to a story in which the pigs were the heroes. The pigs' heroism certainly doesn't much transfer to her plan expressed herein!

"Where have all the Cowboys gone?" by Paula Cole
The Lyrics:
Where is my John Wayne? Where is my Prarie Son? Where is my Happy Ending? Where have all the Cowboys Gone?
Why:
The song is about a woman who wants more than what she got when she married her man. The 1st and 2nd verses dwell into that her husband does a lot (such as work on the tractor and share lemonade with her wife) The bridge is where the song goes even more down with the husband not recognizing his wife and the 3rd verse show that the husband lost interest by drinking beer with his buddies and the wife doing the chores and seeing that her happy ending just ended as she sees her husband the cowboy ride into the sunset.

I've got it bad
so bad
I'm hot for teacher
got it bad
got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
I've got it bad
so bad
I'm hot for teacher
Why:
What happens when this ringtone goes off in front of your teacher? Everyone thinks that you're crushing on the teacher.
