The Wannadies Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're all sitting on a space ball looking smart

Making babies, breaking hearts

Wasted maybe, we don't care

We are just a bunch of kids but we have a plan

We're a customized breed for the next century

Yeah, yeah

Have another one, have more of all

Never-ending fun

Have another one, have more of all

Never-ending fun

Have another one, yeah

If you want to come along, want to have some fun

We know where the night is young

Finger licking, looking hot

We are just a bunch of kids but we're growing up

We're a wealthy young breed, we're the evil seed

Yeah, yeah

Have another one, have more of all

Never-ending fun

Have another one, have more of all

Never-ending fun

Have another one, yeah

Overall Meaning

The Wannadies’ hit song “Yeah” is an upbeat, playful tune that encapsulates the carefree spirit of youth. The opening line “We're all sitting on a spaceball looking smart” suggests that the singer and his/her youthful companions are confident and savvy. The line “Making babies breaking hearts” may seem contradictory but can be interpreted as this generation’s cycle of fleeting relationships that result in both heartbreak and new life. The chorus repeats like a mantra, “Have another one, have more of all, never-ending fun” which paints this generation as hedonistic and self-indulgent. The song captures the youthful desire to live in the moment and enjoy life to its fullest without any thoughts for the future.

The second verse “If you want to come along, want to have some fun, we know where the night is young, finger licking, looking hot” portrays a group of young people who are adventurous and inviting. The line “We're a wealthy young breed, we're the evil seed” suggests that this youth culture is not traditional; they are not interested in following their parent’s footsteps or adhering to societal norms. They are creating a new path for themselves, which is marked by their endless pursuit of pleasure and joy. The song ends with a final “Yeah” which captures their carefree attitude.
