1. The Norwegian band MoE is known for mixing their minimalistic compositions with alternative and experimental approaches that fails to fit in the rock genre. With countless collaborations with artist such as Keiji Haino, Pain Jerk, Lasse Marhaug, Okkyung Lee and many others, exceeding the borders of rock and noise, MoE seeks the absolute presence in the execution of the music. Loud and violently, they molest their instruments and brings the listener closer to a healthy insanity. MoE's palette is still composed of a multitude of expressions which catalyses into a highly charged and viscid sound. Executed with a profound presence, spontaneous energy and dedication. Many influences have been pointed out, and descriptions are sometimes close to contradictory; "MoE is like Jesus Lizard/Scratch Acid meets Napalm Death dressed up like very early Swans", meaning MoE don't care about genres.
2. Moe (aka Mohammed Alazzawie, born November 29, 1984) is a Swedish pop singer. He released his so far only album "My World" in 2002. Three singles were released from the album: "Backstabber", "Side by Side" and "Stop".
3. Moe is also rapper from Slovakia.
4. Moe is a UK House outfit released on Fat! Records.
5. The jam band, moe. (punctuated as such) is occasionally represented without the trailing period. If you are listening to this artist, please fix your tags to moe..

Moe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drove his truck down to the border
And we hitchhiked the rest of the way
Down through Mexico
In the beginning we didn't have much luck
So we took all our things up upon a bus
It cost us three dollars just to get half way
We spent the night in a cheap hotel
Fourteen dollars, didn't sleep so well
And the morning came with bells on
And I took to the road with my cousin
Down through Mexico
We hitched a ride from an old pickup
And climbed in with the chickens in the back of the truck
I got to Tijuana by the middle of the day
Just in time to celebrate my twenty-first birthday
[Chorus]
Well I'm a million miles away from home
And I can't find a telephone
My folks don't even know where I am
Hell I don't even know where I am
Well I'm a million miles away from home
And I can't find a telephone
My folks don't even know where I am
Hell I don't even know where I am
We got something to eat and then we took to the bars
A bottle of tequila and two fat cigars
We painted the town some sort of red
At some point a train drove through my head
Down in Mexico
Well at Five-AM we're still on our feet
A cop pulls over to the side of the street
He said something to me I couldn't understand
And threw me in the wagon, took the bottle from my hand
Well I'm still in the wagon at Six-AM
And I don't have a clue where I am
I don't speak Spanish all that well
I'm out of cash, and I'm drunk as hell
[Chorus]
Day after my birthday
Me and my cousin Dave
Drove his truck home from the border
Through California
Home from Mexico
"México" by Moe is a narrative song that tells the story of a journey taken by the singer and his cousin Dave to Mexico the day before his 21st birthday. They took Dave's truck and drove it to the border, and from there, they hitchhiked the rest of the way down through Mexico. The journey was not smooth sailing at first, and they struggled to make progress until they took a bus, which only took them halfway to their desired destination. From there on, things started to look up as they spent the night in a cheap hotel and continued their journey the next day. They hitched a ride on an old pickup, and by midday, they had made it to Tijuana, just in time for the singer's 21st birthday celebrations.
After marking the occasion with a bottle of tequila and two fat cigars, they had successfully painted the town red. However, the joyous occasion was cut short when a cop pulled them over, and the singer ended up in the wagon, too drunk to understand the officer's commands. The next morning, the singer wakes up still in the wagon, lost, broke, and unable to communicate with the locals due to his limited Spanish proficiency. Eventually, he and his cousin make their way back to California, where they drove to, leaving behind a memorable adventure in Mexico.
The song portrays the youthful adventurous spirit of young people, seeking new experiences without the fear of the unknown. It also portrays the naivete of youth, who undertake risky endeavors without considering the consequences. Overall, it's a nostalgic song that elicits sentiments of things that were done, mistakes made, and lessons learned.
