I like them when they did Shiny Happy People with the guy from R.E.M. And of course Love Shack, but I was so mad when I finally found out what she was saying at the end. I thought it would be something deep. Oh, and Hell Yeah. ;)

Love Shack

If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the... Love Shack! Love Shack yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway, lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down
To the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby, Love Shack bay-bee.
Love baby, that's where it's at, Ooo love baby, that's where it's at

Sign says.. Woo... stay away fools, 'cause love rules at the Love Shack!
Well it's set way back in the middle of a field,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back

Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway

The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby! Love Shack, that's where it's at!
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin', wearin' next to nothing
Cause it's hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies! The whole shack shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around!
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby
Funky little shack! Funky little shack!

Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money.

Bang bang bang on the door baby! Knock a little louder baby!
Bang bang bang on the door baby! I can't hear you
Your what?.... Tin roof, rusted!

Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love baby, that's where it's at
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin' at the love shack

Love 'Em!!! :D

Biggest trip though...you can never find anything by them on Napster!

Planet Claire, Dry County, Deadbeat Club, and Bushfire are a few favorites of mine. Oh, and who can forget Rock Lobster!

I remember someone telling me that "tin roof, rusted" was a southern slang term for pregnant. If that's true, it kind of makes sense in the context of "Love Shack".

[edit]Forgot to say HELL YEAH! [/edit]

According to Pop Up Video, "Tin Roof Rusted" was thought to be a euphemism for being/getting pregnant but it was actually just something that whats-her-name thought up to compliment the song. It doesn't mean really anything.
