Don't find a translation that helps me to understand the meaning of "heavy up for someone".
LE
JF talked about the Vanessa Paradis' song Joe Le Taxi, yes it immediatly made me think about it !!!
Feel a bit a Bob Marley vibe in this song. :think
Ok! :wave
LE
I wonder if the unmentioned songwriter (who MK states he knows) who said those lines might be Mr Bob. Sounds like something that he would crow out.
"I'll lighten up for you if you heavy up for me".
MK's usually keen on name dropping if someone was the inspiration for a song. But now he's secretive.
Thought the same ...
LE
And I have a question about the term ...I agree. These are invented words to refer to the opposite of "lighten up".
I find "to lighten up" in every dictionary. But heavy up not. So is it indeed not a usual phrase but "invented" by that songwriter as the opposite of lighten up?

So the meaning of "why should I lighten up for you if you can’t heavy up for me?" is "why I should make it easy for you if you can't take care of mine?"
Yes the meaning I understood .. what I meant was if this "heavy up" was invented so to say by that songwriter or was it a common expression before?

“Heavy up is one of those peculiar, specialized terms in the world of home renovation and electrical systems. Essentially, it means to increase the amperage coming into your house--at the service panel--so that your electrical system can receive and handle an increased load.”
Does it make sense to you guys?

Anyway, I strongly dislike this song, Les Boys level of dislike. Can’t believe it’s on and Don’t Suck Me In isn’t :'(

So when Mark sings "heavy up for me" that makes him a current?
He's bound to get a real buzz out of playing this one! Resistance is futile! :smack :smack

Certainly not triggering a short-circuit lol

My capacitance for awful puns is now at a maximum. One more before I buzz off: R-ohm-eo and Juliet - he can't resist playing it!
Strongly disagree. I love this song. Music, mood, vibe at it's best. Great solos, cool rhythm section and very good arrangement. On par with Nobody Does That.+1
Hope for live version replacing Paraguay.

I simply love the line "I’m afraid, alas, the turd
Who thinks he’s an ice cream".
Now when I encounter a**holes during the day, I simply sing this line and I am "floating away"!

Can AMIT generate some kind of 'like' button to display ones' pleasure at remarks like this? Rather than having to quote and agree :)

I agree.
There doesn't have to be a Dislike button (there isn't one on FB), but personally I'm perfectly happy without a Like button. Let's talk instead!

I agree, the art of conversation is very precious and should be encouraged.
At the very start of AMIT in 2008, there was a trial run of a "kudos" button. Members got points for how good their posts were, or not, as I remember. It was withdrawn after a short trial.

One may of course argue how much "conversation" it is when people quote a post and just write +1 or use the thumbs-up emoticon. Basically that is the equivalent of a Like, but with a larger footprint (and longer threads to scroll through).

Exactly and have often thought myself that a "like" button would be helpful. I have often refrained from agreeing with someone unless I can perhaps add something productive to my "agree" comment as it is otherwise a pointless comment.

Having a "like" button would make it more like Facebook and that is one of the many reasons why I'm not a member there! "Like" buttons would suppress conversation and also opinions, because if there is a "like" button there would also have to be a "dislike" button, which could deter people from posting in case of getting the thumbs down. Therefore I disagree and hope it never happens on AMIT!
What's so difficult in just pressing the "thumbs up" emo anyway? ???

Back to the song.
We haven't really discussed the lyric.
MK REALLY having a go at music critics in this one.
Is he actually turning into a grumpy old man?

The kudos button caused resentment, but maybe because everyone had a little score next to them of how many "likes" they had received, and it just became a popularity contest.

It took a while but finally this one was the prize of my skipper song of the record.
I have the full cd with bonus in my car and the last three listenings to it, I skipped heavy up without hesitation.

I have that with Just a boy. Can't listen to it. I deleted it from my playlist. Bit harsh but it's the truth. I love heavy up on the other hand. Funny it stays, the different taste people have!

I can't bear Just a Boy either. Apart from not liking the slide guitar, or Junkie Doll/Donegan, I feel it is in the wrong place on the album tracking order - it spoils the flow between Nobody's Child and When You Leave. Heavy Up is OK at the moment, but I'm beginning to feel bored with it now.
"Heavy Up" seems to me to be in a similar vein to "Tall Order Baby" and "What Have I Got To Do" from the Cannibals EP and I wonder if it was a left-over from Golden Heart? :think

Back to the song.I love this song. Such a happy-sounding song as MK take a some serious digs at the critics. I don't see this quite as a grumpy old man, rather I think this him taking a fun, but precise dig at his critics. "I’m afraid, alas, the turd... Who thinks he’s an ice cream." haha!

Yes, yes, you've made your point! :lol :clap I still hate FB though! ::);D :thumbsup
Off to work so I don't have time to quote the exact points but it's absolutely clear to me. No doubt in my mind.:thumbsup
