(This is a review of SOS the video; frankly, the song is a piece of carp.)
If I understand the song (which I probably don't), Rihanna wants sex. Now.
Okay, so the plot's a bit thin; flashy scenes of a sexy dancing chick humping the air for four minutes, a few frames of her friends and some guy. But for the most part the video is focussed on the singer, which is cool because she's pretty hot. Rough Count: Rihanna changes her clothing ~5 times during this video. .. How the hell is she staying in the green dress?; like, the laws of physics demand her cleavage part with her clothing. ... I've seen less friction between a pair of bullets and the end of a shotgun.
uh... the beat of the song is taken from Soft Cell's 'Tainted Love'.*
*This paragraph shows this isn't a completely macho-sexist review of the video, and I'm not writing the review just as an excuse to watch the video. Twice.

EDIT: This review is not for One Thang's 'Heaters'; it's actually for Ill Scarlet's 'Heaters'. But, since MP3 doesn't have Ill Scarlet, I'm leaving this review here for now. I guess Ill Scarlet is a Canadian band.. my bad....:UNEDIT
"Right now
I'm takin' it.."
Wow dude; not a lot of men would admit to that sort of thing. (Even less people want to hear about it though...)
Where does this guy live though? It sounds like he's fearing for his life, getting sodomized by cops, and spending a lot of time lying on the ground thinking about starting a war. Yet, here he is writing music in between his sessions with Mr. Policeman. It almost makes you wonder if he's exagerrating the truth, but conveying this song as reality... ... hmmmm.... (starts musing)
It's standard 'Bob Marley'ish fare, complete with the required Rastafarian echo effect-
echo effect..
echo effec..
echo eff...
At one point it's very unclear WtH he's saying; even the Inet's lyrics are going 'Huh?'
Not a bad song, I sort of like it. I wouldn't go looking for personal ownership of this song through any channels, but I won't turn it off the radio either.
On a scale of Cher (being 1) and Trent Reznor (being 10), I'd give Ill Scarlet somewhere between Cyndi Lauper, but below Prince.

"Who are you to wave your fatty fingers at me?"
Okay, I normally can take a random guess at what the song's about, but I'm without clue. Maynard's pretty angry, and I think the target of his anger is on drugs. ... Or is a necromancer.. ... a stoned Necromancer. ........ There's so much abstract metaphors in this song, but I don't think they have much definitive meaning. ie: "Kangaroo hung the jury" ...?
Here, a possible meaning: Some guy got really high and had his way with Maynard. Maynard decides to pretend nothing happened, but can't do that until the guy finishes up. Guy sobers up and wants to know who that chick was, and Maynard gets very angry. He even swears!
I think Guy got some 'lemon juice' in Maynard's eye, before urinating all over Maynard's 'black kettle'. (innuendo? or literal?)
(Starts thrashing) Rock on Tool! Awesome song, eh? (continues thrashing around) (thrashes around somemore) (does a bit more thrashing, just for the sake of the thrash.)
Screw Flanders! Screw Flanders!

"Standing in line to see the show tonight
And there's a light on ; Heavy glow..."
This song is very awesome. I'm sure as a kid, I probably heard lots of RHCP, but this is their first song I remember. (In those golden summery days, when I was all alone playing video games, and began listening to rock.) Sweet freakin' song!
And, features Anthony Keidis doing an 'out-of-breath' white rap:
"Steak knife. Blood bath. Dope D&&&
followed by white rap on crack:
"Kiss that Dyke but not by the freeway take the street, she needs a little leeway..."
WTH is he talking about? Drugs or pimps I guess. Do I care? No, cuz it's a sweet-&&& song.
The video also features a member of the band getting kidnapped by a crazy Taxi driver and the rest of the band giving chase. I remember one scene where he climbs out the taxi window, with the car going ultrafast, getting on the roof and jumping into a truck. Sweet video, for a great song.

This song is so happy! Really, I know it's supposed to be all BA punk-rocker fare, but it's really happy! I just imagine a giant bobbing Smiley Head when I hear this ditty. So happy..! (It might just be my radio's treble, because the song sounded different on the tv.)
What's the song about? Helal if I know. Probably rebelling against their parents for giving them a curfew of 11.30. Maybe 'red flag' is code for something dirty that happens to a guy.... I dunno. Here's some lyrics:
"The kids of tomorrow don't eat today
When they've eaten yesterday!"
I wasn't really watching the video, so I have no opinion. hmm, well if the video features a literal 'red flag', but doesn't bother to explain it, that's pretty lame. it's probably better if the video has no red flag. Does it?
