I Dig Rock and Roll Music
Groovin' Through Rock and Roll Vibes
Lyrics
I dig rock and roll music
I enjoy rock and roll music.
And I love to get the chance to play (and sing it)
I love the opportunity to perform (and sing) rock and roll music.
I figure it's about the happiest sound goin' down today
I believe it's one of the happiest sounds currently popular.
The message may not move me
The lyrics may not deeply affect or resonate with me.
Or mean a great deal to me
The message may not hold great personal significance.
But hey! It feels so groovy to say
Regardless, it feels enjoyable to express appreciation for it.
I dig the Mamas and the Papas at "the trip"
I appreciate the music of The Mamas and the Papas at "the trip" on Sunset Strip in L.A.
Sunset strip in L.A.
The specific location of "the trip" adds to the enjoyment.
And they got a good thing goin'
They have a successful musical style.
When the words don't get in the way
Their music is effective even when the lyrics are not the focus.
And when they're really wailing
Especially when they're passionately performing.
Michelle and Cass are sailin'
Specifically, Michelle and Cass are delivering powerful performances.
Hey! they really nail me to the wall
They impress and captivate me.
Donovan kind of in a dream-like, tripped out way
Donovan's music has a dream-like, tripped-out quality.
His crystal images tell you 'bout a brighter day
His poetic images convey hope for a better future.
And when the Beatles tell you
The Beatles, when they mention "love," genuinely mean it.
They've got a word "love" to sell you
They are sincere in their expression of love.
They mean exactly what they say
They mean exactly what they say about love.
I dig rock and roll music
I have a genuine appreciation for rock and roll music.
I could really get it on in that scene.
I feel a strong connection and enthusiasm in that musical scene.
I think I could say somethin' if you know what I mean
I think I could express something meaningful if you understand my implication.
But if I really say it, the radio won't play it
If I express it explicitly, the radio might not play it due to potential controversy.
Unless I lay it between the lines
I might need to convey it subtly, between the lines, to avoid censorship.
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa
Repetition of sounds, perhaps mimicking music or indicating a playful expression.
