Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Jude"

A: @thetrees , ok, I won’t!

A: "dude" is a familiar/informal way of saying "man." It rhymes with "Jude" so it seems that it is being used like a nickname in the comic: "Jude the Dude."

A: it's from a song and song lyrics are at times more poetic or abstract.

That said, with my limited knowledge of the song, I would say it means that being sad makes things bad and that Jude should be happy to make things better

A: Unlike sentence 1, sentence 2 is specifying that you want Jude to be happy due to your actions, rather than happy for any reason.

A: It's hard to say, the lyrics of this song are difficult to interpret. It's believed that it was written for Lennon's son, but the part that you quoted sounds as if it was written for John Lennon himself (and Lennon did think that was the case).

In any case, "to get under someone's skin" usually means to irritate or to bother someone. However, there is a less common positive meaning that means to affect someone (e.g. emotionally) when they didn't expect it. So this line can be interpreted as "if you let her affect you (or if you let yourself become accustomed to her), then things will become better". In case this was addressed to Julian Lennon, it really is a total mystery who "she" might be, while if it was meant for John, it's pretty clear.

A: sounds good
