scott, I'm not totally comfortable with your comparison to "little girl." Is it really the same? Is "little boy" used as commonly when someone (male or female) is talking about a male love interest as "little girl" is (or maybe was?--I can't say I hear it very often)? Just because it's the flip side doesn't mean it's conotations are going to be symmetrical. I'm raising the question, though, I'm not saying I know how commonly it might be used. It does sound familiar the way "little girl" does.

"How is working with a full band different from recording solo?
Banhart: This isn't the stoned jam record I will someday make in Portland, or the space reggae vibe fest it coulda been. It was... well, "what do you hear on this one?" and so we found that sound. We had a lot of help finding musicians from Dan Bunny from the great The BunnyBrains."

plain swapping boy for girl and then not really changing things otherwise may be simple gender based word play. its interesting to wonder who'd be paying attention at all if he'd used the well worn "little girl" phrase.
Nancy Sinatra swaps in boy in her version of "Run for Your Life" and noone's after her for it. of course, in that case we have yr standard heterosexual heirarchy in place. That make's this whole discussion seem to be overly concerned with sex side of it. If joanna newsome, say wrote this would there be such a discussion.
given devendras perfomrmances as abra and obvious lack of concern for gender rules and his stated interest in writing songs that exist more like old standards or folk songs, i think too much reading into his motives here is easily too much
