(One, two)
Spitting in a wishing well
Blown to hell, crash
I'm the last splash
I know you're a real cuckoo
Want you cuckoo cannonball
Want you cuckoo cannonball
In the shade, in the shade
In the shade, in the shade
I know you, little libertine
I know you're a cannonball
I'll be your whatever you want
The bong in this reggae song
In the shade
In the shade
Want you cuckoo cannonball
Want you cuckoo cannonball
Spitting in a wishing well
Blown to hell, crash
I'm the last splash
I'll be your whatever you want
The bong in this reggae song
Want you cuckoo cannonball
Want you cuckoo cannonball
In the shade, in the shade
In the shade, in the shade
The first set of lyrics to Skee-Lo's "I Wish" features the rapper reminiscing about his childhood and wishing for a better life. Skee-Lo explains how he used to be smaller and had trouble fitting in with the popular kids. He even admits to being envious of those with more money and nicer possessions. However, he ultimately comes to the realization that one's happiness and self-worth should not be solely dependent on material wealth.
Maurice Fulton Presents Stress's "My Gigolo" follows the story of a man who is posing as a gigolo in order to seduce women and take their money. The lyrics describe his various tactics, such as showering the women with "cheap perfume and flowers," and even going as far as pretending to be a doctor. Despite his questionable actions, the man still manages to come across as charming and suave.
The Breeders' "Cannonball" is a song that relies heavily on its rhythmic structure and abrasive guitar riffs. The lyrics are somewhat nonsensical, featuring lines such as "Spitting in a wishing well, blown to hell, crash, I'm the last splash." The chorus, which repeats the phrase "want you cuckoo cannonball," seems to be more of a chant than anything else. Overall, the song is a great example of early 90s alternative rock and showcases the Breeders' unique sound.
Line by Line Meaning
Spitting in a wishing well
Engaging in a futile activity
Blown to hell, crash
Completely destroyed
I'm the last splash
The end result of a series of actions
I know you, little libertine
I understand who you are and how you behave
I know you're a real cuckoo
I know you are unpredictable and possibly crazy
Want you cuckoo cannonball
Desire your unpredictable and daring behavior
In the shade, in the shade
In a place of protection and concealment
I'll be your whatever you want
I will fulfill any role you want me to
The bong in this reggae song
A symbol of relaxation and enjoyment

That Skee Lo x Breeders drop is still absolute bloody life, all these years later. Fondly remember soulwaxmas in Brixton and the energy when they threw that Gossip mix. Good times, great memories and god I wish i wasn't old.
