it IS isn't it? the way she slaps her arse and wiggles her eyebrows suggestively at every mention of 'the boys get the girls in the *back*'. and that mock-horrified look at the end of the video..

i actually find gwen stefani to be the unfathomable woman in the universe. i just don't fucking understand her at all, can't work it out. from that coy ultra ultra girliness to those REALLY ODD gestures and facial expressions she makes in her videos.

it's like trying to talk to Lassie. WHAT IS SHE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE?

it's like the woman in the red dress in Fire Walk With Me. whatthefuck??!?

or Hey Baby Hey even.

Hey Hey Baby was Rosita. and had nothing to do with anal sex whatsoever.

um..

― Wyndham Earl, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Why am I unsurprised there's a Kenickie connection to your fevered sexual fantasies.

Other pop classic supposedly about bum sex = "John Wayne Is Big Leggy" by Hayzi Fantayzee.

― Tom, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

and why do you assume that just because i happen to like a band with girls in there must be some sort of sexual motivation? MISOGYNIST.

but seriously, erm.. that was a complete, um, freudian slip.

― Wyndham Earl, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And don't forget about Toni Basil's "Mickey"...

― Douglas, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would do anything for love (but I won't do that).

Please someone explain the Hayzi Fantayzi thing. Don't get it at all. I assume Hey Mickey is a joke

Gwen Stefani looks like she'd be the type of girl who'd exclaim "Zoinks!"

But on a different note, the indie band The Faint are touring with No Doubt.

Which is funny, if anyone has ever seen The Faint live before.

I thought it was "all the boys *hit* the girls on the back", referring to ass-slapping, not anal sex. What're ILM's thoughts on "Hey Baby"? I think it's a suprisingly successful crossover from ska-pop-punk-whatever-genre-the-song-No Doubt's-been-rewriting-for- the-past-5-years-fits-into to pretty much straightup dancehall.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I like if that's what you mean.

I also have NO idea about the Hayzi Fantayzee thing but that was the rumour.

― Tom, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I like the new single better. Y'know, the one with the synths.

― JM, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Mickey" does indeed contain an anal sex reference! I was gonna mention it...

― Sean, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Please do mention it. I need to know!

― misterjones, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

All right, all right, *sings* "Any way you wanna do it/I'll take it like a man"... is that enough for you?

― Sean, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

wow.

― misterjones, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My youthful self had always wondered about that line. Oh my.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Let me be the first to truly drag his thread into the gutter by submitting my favorite paean to anal sex, Kiss' "Nothing to Lose."

"Before I had a baby/I didn't care anyway/I thought about the back door/I didn't know what to say/But once I got a baby/I, I tried every way/She didn't wanna do it/But she did anyway."

Zoinks! I too was mystified by Gwen's telling glance at the end of the clip. Maybe she means "back" as in "back of the bus." Or not.

― Alex in NYC, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Speaking of "the bus" and the general gist of this thread, has anyone else ever noticed that in the Replacements song "Kiss Me on the Bus" it sounds like Westerberg is actually singing "kiss me on the butt"?

― Sean Carruthers, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd put my money on the "fun room" in the back of your average rock- band tour bus. I seem to remember reading her describe it as a song about touring, among other things.

― lee g, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Has anyone else heard the rumours about DuJour's "Backdoor Lover". Are they true?

― Graham, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This is the worst song I've ever heard.

― Kris, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The men don't know, but the little girls understand....

― Nick Coleman, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There's an Outkast remix of Hey Baby, but I haven't heard it yet. I always thought ("I never wanna hear you say" I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys was about anal sex. That they would be afraid of it. Erm...

― JoB, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

On this "tip", have we discussed the extremely brief Bob Dole appearance at the end of Britney's Pepsi commercial? The "video" plays and right at the end of the commercial it cuts to Dole and dog looking at camera w/blue glow radiating towards them (implying that WE are the TV? implying that WE are BRITNEY?), dog barks, and a smile plays across Dole's face. "Down, boy!" he says. Bob Dole's dog wants to hump his doggy dick up into Britney Spears and Dole's jealous cause he can't get it up! If there is ANY other reading I am all ears.

The "rap" from "John Wayne Is Big Leggy":

"John Wayne in lovers lane - making whoopee with his squaw. But his bullet belt keeps a-gettin' in the way/It's making his life a bore.
So she says to him 'Take off that thing /It's getting right between us.'
J: 'Now listen honey, I can't do that not even for you my sweetness.'
S: 'Now Big John, if that's a fact then how d'you propose we do our act? If that's the way it's gonna be get the hell out of my tepee!'
J: 'Now speckled hen, you stop your squawkin'. Big Bad Rooster's doin' the talking. I know a trick we ought to try turn right over - you'll know why!'

So, I guess it could be about trying things out doggie style intercourse or anal sex, whatever you fancy.

What are the rumors about "Backdoor Lover"? It's obviously about anal sex--am I missing something?

― Arthur, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wonder what "I Wanna Fuck You in the Ass" is about?

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The oppression of the masses via capitalism. DUH.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I thought it was about LUV

I´m gonna drop you lines, before we set up

Muscle relaxants?

― electric sound of jim, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, the song's not about anal sex, but I must indulge my inner 7th grader and say that the line "HOW CAN I LEAVE THIS BEHIND?" from the song "Big Bottom" still makes me laugh just to think it. Back to regular programming...

― Tom Hunter, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I met her on Monday it was my lucky bun day. You know what I mean?...

Yes, yes I do.

Graham: quick, take the chevy to the levy.

― Sterling Clover, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

...because this board smells like teen spirit.

― Sterling Clover, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Inner Circle song is NOT (specifically) about anal sex! He's looking into her brown EYES, not eye. Unlesss he's trying to chat up a girl with two asses, I think he means her face.

― Dan Perry, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I thank the lord every day that I could remember the words to Enter Sandman.

― Graham, Saturday, 2 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

two weeks pass...

why do you thank god that you remeber the words to enter sandman ?wha des that hve to do with anything?

― samantha, Thursday, 21 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hey Baby is about No Doubt being on tour...

What Gwen means with "the boys get the girls in the back" is the boys having female friends in the back of the tour bus.

Gwen is the only girl in the band, so she feels awkward when all the guys have females they met on the road... She just sits in the front sipping her tea while the boys entertain the ladies.

― Kara, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Kara, why are you spoiling it for us? Let us wallow in our Freudian dream.

― %00, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

what, she can't pick up any guys whilst on tour?

― g, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Gavin won't let her, as he wants them for himself.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

*meow*

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'll always believe Boy George over Bush-boy in this case. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Someone just told me yesterday that they thought the "boys say, boys say" part was actually "pussy, pussy"!! Ok, so that has nothing to do with anal sex.
