wally wally

it's a slang word for a male's ding dong. Comedian Bill Cosby used it on a comedy sketch on his "For Adults Only" comedy album.
Bill Cosby describes going down a hallway to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night nude and his daughter sees him like this, with his cock hanging down. She says, "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Daddy's got a wally wally."

Jagger Swagger

the Jagger Swagger is the confident, cocky, attitude - stoked air and persona that Mick Jagger emits when he struts his butt on the walkway and flicks his hands in the air. Then he shakes his toosh out for the pleasure of the audience. He does this several times during a Rolling Stones concert. He oozes of the feel of rebellious air and sneering 'tude. Of course he adds to it by snarling most of his vocals. All these qualities have led some critics to label it all being conceited, but these traits have made Mick a major influence and inspiration to countless rock-n-rollers.
Michael Hutchence ("Hutch") of INXS certainly has the Jagger Swagger. He's often compared to Jim Morrison of the Doors but his voice has some Jaggeresque inflections and he shows some Mick Jagger influence in his aura and performing style as well. I never got to see INXS live in concert (unfortunately) but I have seen them on TV and Michael clearly had been studying some of Mick's stage antics, style and attitude. Of course, even though INXS is often classified as a "New Wave" band, there's a strong Stonesy element in their rock-n-roll. I have seen the Stones live in concert and the powerful imprints that they have made on many, many bands (including INXS) was very apparent that night in sound and live image (the Jagger Swagger and many other influences). Michael, we miss you and we need you more now than ever. RIP dude.

1984

1. a classic science fiction novel written by British writer George Orwell (real name Eric Arthur Blair) that was written as a warning of how governments can manipulate every aspect of citizens' lives (including the media) to brainwash them into becoming loyal complacent citizens (sheep) and use created situations as an excuse to deprive the populace of their freedoms and civil liberties and human rights. It was written in 1948, so Orwell was using the recent war and the totalitarian fascist and communist regimes that were defeated, as well as said type regimes that would soon be established. This book should be required reading in school, in order that the shit that has occurred since the end of the Cold War at the end of the 80s won't be happening again. History doesn't have to keep repeating itself.

2. adjective to describe something as "totalitarian", "sieg heil" or "Big Brother" or "Orwellian".

3. a hit album by Van Halen. Kept from the #1 album position by Michael Jackson's "Thriller" in early 1984.

4. a song by David Bowie that appeared on his 1974 album.
1. 1984 is an English literature classic. It's message still holds true today.

2. that TV news broadcast is so 1984!

3. "Jump", "I'll Wait", "Panama" and "Hot for Teacher" are the hits from Van Halen's 1984 album.

4. in 1984, Tina Turner covered David Bowie's "1984".

Take off!

a Canadian phrase that was made popular in America with the 1982 winter hit "Take Off!" by Canadian comedians Bob and Doug MacKensey. Geddy Lee of Rush provides the actual singing between the "verses" that are pretty much spoken by the comedians. Bob and Doug would go on to more success with their Christmas hit, the movie "Strange Brew", and more.

Muslim

a follower of the religion of Islam. They worship God and follow the Ten Commandments just like Christians and Jews do. It's just another religion: you got your true practioners and believers, and you got your hypocritefanatics who are always trying to spoil the party. True Islam is not what you see on TV. Terrorism is against the teachings of the faith.
I knew a few Muslim women in college and they did not wear flowing robes or burquas or any of that stereotypical getup. I've talked to some Muslim men there too and there was none of that "kill the infidels" shit. I also once went to a mosque in northern Ohio and talked to some of the parishioners. They were decent, ordinary, American people. They spoke respect and admiration for Christianity and Judaism, the other two major "God" faiths. They were very nice to me, and I was never scared.

her Motown, you Motley Crue

basically, it's another reference to a May-December romance where the woman is quite a bit older than the man. This is also referred to a "Mrs. Robinson" love affair, because of the movie "The Graduate" where Dustin Hoffman's character falls in love with his girlfriend's mother.
The love affair and shacking up of Cindy, 54 and Steve, 28 is a classic case of "her Motown, you Motley Crue ".
