Give me all your telephone numbers so I can call you.
If your girlfriend is behaving badly then call me over.
Let's not have sex on the bed; lay me on your sofa.
Call before you come, I need to shave my pubic hair.

This is four-dimensional art; the 4th dimension is incredibly powerful. (Abbott), Friday, 7 May 2010 19:07 (3 years ago) Permalink

As the drummer boy goes pa-rom-pop-pom-pom,
I'll give you some of my delicious butt.

Huh, dunno why, but I always thought "If you got a big [elephant noise], let me search ya," was "If you got a big TRUNK, let me search ya." Like, trunk as in car trunk, meaning butt (as in junk in the trunk), plus also the clever elephant pun. But I suppose "If you got a big penis, let me search ya" makes more sense, or at least simpler sense.

trunk as in elephant trunk, aka big penis

Yeah, I got it. But I always thought of car trunk for some reason. Over (under?) thinking it, of course.

"If you possess a large trunk in your automobile I would like to examine the contents."

"See my ass and my lips, don'tcha" = "You see my butt and my mouth, don't you?"

"You love the way my butt moves.
Keep your eyes on my butt
And think you can handle my butt.
Take my thong off and my butt starts moving fast."

^^^ lacks a bit of poetry.

I love this song so much. I've been listening to it a lot the last couple weeks because I have it on a mix I found in the car. So good.

"let's get drunk, it's gon' bring us closer" is kind of poignant imo

been thinking... Missy's string of hits around this time, as well as songs like Justin Timberlake's Rock Your Body, were the reason for that whole nu wave of Poptimism in the early '00s, weren't they?

but in hindsight, a lot of Pop/RnB of that time seems unusually inventive/innovative, so it could be argued that a lot of it was being appreciated/championed for borderline Rockist reasons... I'm thinking of that "Pop/RnB/Mainstream Hip Hop are the most innovative areas of music out there right now" argument that was being made (which prob couldn't be made now imo)

not to open up the Popist/Rockist can of worms, just realizing how good Pop got for a moment there - but that it ticked a lot of the Rockist boxes as well
