It's Give the People What They Want. So, what do these people want? Maybe we'll find out. Join me, and be sure to stick around until the end to hear what I have to say about it. So, let's get straight in, and let me get out the lyrics.

[00:01:31]AND EVERY TIME THEY GET HARDER AND HARDER [music] TO PLEASE.

[00:01:40]THE ROMAN PERFORMERS WOULDN'T GET [music] THINGS RIGHT. THEY NEEDED A SHOW THAT WOULD REALLY EXCITE. They turned THEM TO THE BOWELS, AND THEY PUT ON A FIGHT.

[00:01:55]>> [music] >> YOU GOT TO GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT.

[00:02:02]>> [music] >> THE MORE THEY GET, THE MORE THEY NEED.

[00:02:06]AND WHEN THEY FINALLY [music] GET ALL OF IT, THEY'LL WANT TO LEAVE.

[00:02:11]I LOVE THIS.

[00:02:14]>> [music] >> GIVE THEM LOTS OF SEX, PERVERSION, and rape. GIVE THEM LOTS OF VIOLENCE, >> [music] >> PLENTY TO HATE.

[00:02:21]WAIT A MINUTE. I didn't see this coming.

[00:02:25]Wow, okay. Let's just continue.

[00:02:29]But I didn't SEE THIS COMING.

[00:02:31]>> [music] >> GIVE THEM LOTS OF SEX, PERVERSION, AND RAPE. GIVE THEM LOTS OF VIOLENCE, >> [music] >> PLENTY TO HATE.

[00:02:47]GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT.

[00:02:48]>> [music] >> GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT.

[00:02:52]WOO!

[00:02:56]>> [music] [music] [music] >> HEY, HEY, HEY.

[00:03:09]HEY, HEY, HEY.

[00:03:12]HEY, SHUSH, HEY.

[00:03:13]>> [music] >> HEY, SHUSH, HEY. HEY, SHUSH, HEY.

[00:03:21]WHEN THEY ALL SHOT [music] KENNEDY, HE WAS INSANE. Then we watched the reruns again and again. [music] We all STOOD GLUED WHILE THE KILLER TAKES AIM.

[00:03:31]WAIT.

[00:03:32]>> [music] >> HEY, MOM, LOOK AT THE PIECES OF THE PRESIDENT'S BRAIN.

[00:03:42]>> [music] >> CONTINUE.

[00:03:48]>> [music] >> GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT.

[00:03:56]>> [music] [music] [music and singing] [music] [music] [music] >> WOW, IT'S A DEEP ONE. SO GIVE THE people what they want. So these people seem to be wanting danger or seems to be wanting dangerous things. So that is the the king with the give the people what they want and from my understanding as I've said, it's majorly seem to be wanting things to do with misery, things to do with rage, things to do with hate, things to do with lots of sex, perversion, rape. So all this violence. So basically give the people what they want for me is give them something that will make it to the headline. At least that's what I'm getting from the song. I don't know about you. I'd love to hear what you think and uh with the the information that I've just shared, I feel like this song can fall under political song in the sense that it's what media is created for. So you find that the government or politics basically it's said politics is a dirty game. So they give you what to talk about or something to to have you talking as uh other things are being done uh like let's say maybe uh bill is being signed or stuff like that. So, you are given something to distract you. Yeah, let me use that. Uh so, basically that's what I would say the song means at least to me.

[00:06:01]I don't know what you think of uh it and I'd love to hear what you think Give the people what they want really is about and uh something that I loved about this song is the instrumental especially the guitar riff sounded so good. I also loved the fact that uh it was easy to listen to and uh it's also relatable cuz uh I believe wherever you come from you've uh like it's uh common that uh whatever makes it to the headlines is often the bad uh so, uh it's more of give the people what they want. So, people it said good news bad news is is good news. Something like that. So, yeah, that's what I'm getting and uh I'm curious to hear your feedback and uh thoughts on that. So, kindly share in the comment section and uh keep suggesting more songs for me in the comments. This came from one of you and uh I love it. So, looking forward to hear your feedback, your take home and uh anything else that uh you'd love to share. With that info, what's my take home?

[00:07:01]Give the people what they want and uh this seems to be people want uh to play it dirty. So, wow, I don't really have a take home as for now.
