Lyrics: Situation

Situation
[laughter]
Blue eyed dressed for every situation [chorus] I remember only for an hour [chorus] Now he’s in control he is my lover [chorus] [credit: Clarke/Moyet] |
Note: ‘Situation’ is such a dancefloor classic nobody will have paid much attention to the lyrics. They can either be interpreted as pretty deep or plainly nonsensical. The later makes it a simple love song (dressed for every situation, pick me up, he’s my lover) smothered in words the main function of which is to rhyme.
A deep interpretation would involve making something of the ‘nation’ mentioned and interpreting the rest as a (political? Intoxicating?) metaphor. Either way, no-one on the dancefloor is likely to care. ‘Situation’ is not a song to listen to. Incidentally, the laughter the song starts with has been sampled and used in countless house hits, including the Bayside Boys remix of the Macarena. |
