about

Sometimes, you need a rattlesnake mama to stir things up a bit, add some spice to your life. The beautiful ‘rattlesnakes’ of my life come alive in this tune. The woman in this song does not follow societal rules and likes to have a good time. She is sexy, good-hearted, and strong-willed, but has so-called ‘issues’ and can strike as quick as a snake. The man, from whose perspective Rattlesnake Mama is written, loves being with her and has naively stopped seeing other women, but yet does sense that he will not be able to keep her.

有时，你的生活也需要“Rattlesnake Mama”来增添一些情趣。这首单曲让我想起生命中美丽的“响尾蛇”般的女人。这首歌中的女人尽情生活而不在意世俗的眼光。她性感，善良又坚强，当出现所谓的“问题”时，也可以像蛇一样快速出击解决问题。在这首歌的故事里，这个天真的男人喜欢待在她身边，为了她不再见其他女人，但他仍然感觉无法永远拥有她。
