20 Fingers' "Short Dick Man" -- Femnist Anthem or Sexist Tripe?

From what I can tell, there's at least a few folk on ILM that like this song (as do I). I consider it fair play for all the bitches and ho's songs girls have to hear. But are guys with short dicks hurt by this song, sort of like girls without the "proper" body type can be hurt by hair metal/rap videos/songs?

*ponders*

Then again, I still think Baby Got Back is the best counter to all that junk.

Classic, but Gilette's own "Mister Personality" was much better and had a hilarious video.

guys with short dicks are only hurting themselves

― the surface noise (electricsound), Friday, 21 November 2003 01:13 (twenty-two years ago)

guys with small dicks deserve it. so do fat chicks.

hmm you've lost me there

― the surface noise (electricsound), Friday, 21 November 2003 01:14 (twenty-two years ago)

That's probably because you have a short dick!

― dick, Friday, 21 November 2003 01:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Guys with small cocks don't deserve love.

To be fair Gillette does say "that has got to be the smallest dick I have ever seen in my whole life!" which kind of gives you an out, "peanut"

My favorite Gillette song is still "I'm on the Attack"

"so anyone in the audience have a small dick? what's that like?"

― the surface noise (electricsound), Friday, 21 November 2003 01:19 (twenty-two years ago)

"all the little dicks - be quiet!! all the little dicks - be quiet!!! AOW AOW AOW AOW!!"

(wtf is up with the "Love Like This Before" Fatman Scoop remix just NOW getting big in the UK? it's a year old!!)

Wasn't there an answer song called "Flat Chested Girl"?

Sarah in knowing something about dance music SHOCKAH!

It makes me feel inadequate. Like I need therapy.

Anyway if you have a short dick you could always "lick it before you stick it"

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Friday, 21 November 2003 04:30 (twenty-two years ago)

also there's nothing sexist about liking girls with any particular body type?

So many possible responses...

well, I did obviously just rattle it off, without giving a lot of thought. I can actually spell 'feminist' correctly, too...

Just wanted to know what you all thought.

I mean, I wouldn't know.

susan bordo's "unbearable weight" to thread. ahh why do i even bother?

I read some Bordo once! Uh ... but I don't remember anything. What's she say, Di?

Gillette is my favourite Agressive Urban Latino Female Artist (AULFA) of all time.

I forgot how good this is! Super minimal: just a beat a bassline, and some cheeky vox.

― Bodrick III, Thursday, 28 February 2008 20:31 (eighteen years ago)

nice beat!

Follow up ruined by the presence of an actual tune. Bah.

― Bodrick III, Thursday, 28 February 2008 20:35 (eighteen years ago)

why even make a radio edit..

bassline is pretty great

― bb, Thursday, 28 February 2008 20:39 (eighteen years ago)

you've got to lick it is the best

Needs more Gillette. : /

― Bodrick III, Thursday, 28 February 2008 20:45 (eighteen years ago)

The radio edit was super funny for replacing "dick" with "short", so the lyrics were like "don't want no short short men" and "that's gotta be the shortest short I've ever seen".

I remember there was a very similar tune, maybe by some other artist, which went "I wanna big dick man"... Does anyone remember this?

― Tuomas, Thursday, 28 February 2008 20:45 (eighteen years ago)

I remember some french exchange student girls at my school got in trouble for walking around singing this tune really loudly.

― Bodrick III, Thursday, 28 February 2008 20:48 (eighteen years ago)

Oh yeah, I think it's this one:

http://www.discogs.com/release/240999

At the time I though this was by 20 Fingers too, but I guess someone was just cashing in on "Short Dick Men's" success.

― Tuomas, Thursday, 28 February 2008 20:48 (eighteen years ago)

Ha, I was actually thinking about this the other day, remembering something I read on ILM about this song being a bit hit with lesbians.

Maybe I'm still a bit riled up after reading this but I think theres something notable about a song which, if dropped at a club, can make what I imagine a hefty portion of males there very self conscious, perhaps even effectively cutting through a lot of machismo? Of course it will most likely be followed by something appropriately misogynistic, as (I think) this is probably played in a lot of ghetto tech/booty house sets. Nothing like mixing this with say, DJ assault to create a true parallel dialogue within the club.

six years pass...

listening to Fall 1994 and this song came up - was kinda stunned at how contemporary it sounds, grandmother to the shit on the GTFO rolling worst thread

Wild how many times "Short Short Man" got played at our 7th and 8th grade dances - probably gave all the short guys a complex.

― Donald Trump Also Sucks, Of Course (milo z), Friday, 2 October 2020 03:16 (five years ago)

I still cannot believe they did that on Xuxa

― LaRusso Auto (Neanderthal), Friday, 2 October 2020 12:59 (five years ago)

Oh my god I am laughing so hard
