I can't stop listening to this song. I just keep replaying it over and over again. It's "Venus in Furs" by Velvet Underground. According to the person at school today, it is about sado-masochistic sex (if you don't know what that is...well...go look up BDSM or something :P) i.e. "Shiny shiny, shiny boots of leather. Kiss the shiny boots of leather." and so on. Here are the lyrics in their entirety:

Venus in Furs

by Velvet Underground

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
whiplash girlchild in the dark
comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

downy sins of streetlight fancies
chase the costumes she shall wear
ermine furs adorn the imperious
severin, severin awaits you there

i am tired, i am weary
i could sleep for a thousand years
a thousand dreams that would awake me
different colors made of tears

kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
shiny leather in the dark
tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

severin, severin, speak so slightly
severin, down on your bended knee
taste the whip, in love not given lightly
taste the whip, now plead for me

i am tired, i am weary
i could sleep for a thousand years
a thousand dreams that would awake me
different colors made of tears

shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
whiplash girlchild in the dark
severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him
strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

I'm also currently loving "The Calendar Hung Itself" by Bright Eyes, aka Conor Oberst, who is a vegan. So yeah, rock on.
