I'll turn you down. If I'm gonna make you laugh, I'll make you laugh 'til you cry. I'll make you laugh 'til you cry.

Hey everyone, I'm Anna LiTell with Young Hollywood, and I'm here at Cisco Adler at his home.

And I'm still young.

Welcome to Young Hollywood. Yeah. And we're having a little pre-party before his shindig tonight at the Malibu Inn where everybody is going to be. So he goes, Anybody who's nobody. Anybody who's nobody in Hollywood will be there tonight. How long must I ride this train? All night through the thunder and the rain. What's your song "Dirty Love" about?

Oh, it's called "Dirty Little Girls", actually.

Oh, I'm sorry, "Dirty Little Girls."

No, no, it's fine. I like "Dirty Love" too. It's um about just little girls around town.

But Hollywood girls, or just any girls around town.

That's about some Hollywood girls.

Some Hollywood girls. Do you want to name some names? I don't name any names. But is it about some specific Hollywood girls around town that you don't want to name names?

No, that's a generality.

A generality, okay.

It's more about, it's it's more about um free love.

Free love, you want to bring back free love.

Yeah, protected free love.

Protected free love. Okay. What about um "Love Machine"? Explain.

"Love Machine" is about like, well, really it's about like love is a washing machine. And you're kind of caught up in it. You know what I mean? So it's about being thrown in the love machine. Not my love machine per se.

Like the roller coaster bad relationships or just a good love machine?

No, yeah, no, a good love machine, you know what I mean? Yeah. Love it It's just a fun game to play, right?

Um, sometimes.

Yeah, it gets dark but so does life.

So does life, that's true. Okay, what about the sunshine song? Is that about somebody?

"Sunshine Girls" is about an ex-girlfriend.

Two.

Two ex-girlfriends ago.

Tell me, tell me, tell me.

Two ex-girlfriends ago. Yeah. Two.

Okay, my ex-girlfriend I wouldn't like that. Why? Cause I wouldn't feel special if it was about two of us.

No, no, two ex-girlfriends ago.

Oh, okay. The previous ex-girlfriend. I'm glad we clarified that.

Yeah, yeah, the last ex-girlfriend. Okay.

You all got that. That's about her.

Kind of, yeah. I kind of got, you know, I got left and I was sad and I wrote a number about it. So, fuck. It's now I'm over it.

Oh. I hear a little pain there.

Yeah, really? No, no, no, not with that one. The new one, there might be some pain.

Okay. And then, wait, there's one more song I wanted to ask you about.

Well, "Sex on the Dance Floor" is about getting naked and having sex on the dance floor. You like that one. Um, "Give Me a Light" is about just what's about to happen tonight, which is like, I clean up my place really nice just so it can get destroyed. But it has a certain charm in the morning when it's just obliterated, you know what I mean? You can't wash the vibe off, so I let it roll on through Sunday.

And you just let it go and then clean it all up on Monday.

Yeah. All right, start the week of newness. That's good. That's a metaphor for love, too. Let the weekend roll and clean it all up on Monday.

In the presence of genius, you will always find a confederacy of dunces. Young Hollywood is here.
