Plot description[edit]

I feel the plot description language is somewhat emotive without citation or reason. Do the lyrics support "unbalanced woman", "sordid detail", "little consideration for the poor man's feeling" nor "lacked masculinity"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by GhostWhoWoks (talk • contribs) 05:38, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That is the story behind the song. The source is the actual lyrics. Luckstap (talk) 18:09, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Biased?[edit]

I have no idea what the heck some editors mean by "biased lyrics". That's the way the song was written for all those who have never heard the track. In this case, the protagonist is a mentally unstable woman who was happy to have a illegitimate child without caring about the real father or the consequences for how the child would have taken his status as a bastard (actual term meant, not insult). Luckstap (talk) 18:08, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Luckstap: What is your source that the woman is "mentally unstable"? I don't think we can read anything about her mental state from the song. We also can't speculate on what the child would be told of his...origin story. Wikipedia is not the place for original research or interpretations of the lyrics. —C.Fred (talk) 18:11, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious though isn't it. A stable woman would bite the bullet that her husband is a seedless fruit, and might adopt a child. But to go out and act like a whore and discard another human being's feelings by abandoning him in the night and leaving all that "you are the seed" cryptic trash in a note is not what a normal person would call sane. Luckstap (talk) 18:15, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not obvious. —C.Fred (talk) 18:17, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Next time, listen to the lyrics and don't fall for a "catchy" tune. Luckstap (talk) 18:34, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have listened to the lyrics, and I don't see anything for an interpretation on the woman's mental state. What is more telling about the song is that the band doesn't play it live any more. —C.Fred (talk) 18:38, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's something I wouldn't know. I am someone who has knowledge in music and who is by profession involved in music - it is my livelihood. So that's how I know about various things I edit on but don't necessarily like. But for the record, I am as you can see not a fan of Heart. As for the interpretation of the lyrics, see my talk page reply where it is all laid out. Luckstap (talk) 19:03, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

mutt[edit]

why does mutt have quotes around his name

but rappers and madonna don't

VJ Intro[edit]

I remember a VJ (pretty sure it was Downtown Julie Brown) giving a "Holy crap. Kids, don't do this at home" disclaimer to the video before playing it. Can't find a copy of that, though. It would be a good way to add context. - Immigrant laborer (talk) 16:54, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
