Topic: worst interpretation of a stones song Return to archive

kmc friend told me recently that "dandelion" is about the use of birth control contraceptives. said the song is about men and the line "you know you should wear it" is the giveaway.

despite the above, he is still my friend.

Zack I always thought Dandelion was about cocaine:

Blow away dandy lines!

One o'clock two o'clock three o'clock four o'clock five/Dandy lines don't care about the time.

They sure don't.

Gazza I remember insisting to Jaxx one time that in "(I Cant Get No) Satisfaction" , the line about trying to make some girl who "tells me baby better come back/maybe next week/cant you see I'm on a losing streak" related to the guy being turned down sexually because it was the "wrong time of the month".

She thought I was talking bollocks. I still maintain that, going by the title of the song and the period (excuse the pun) quoted as being a "week" that I was right.

kmc i believe you're right on about the "losing streak."
read that it was a common term used by english prostitutes.

glencar That's what I've always heard about the losing streak.
