You know that Gwen Steffani song where she goes 'i ain't no holla back girl' - what the heck is that? It drives me crazy that I don't get it!

someone posted this explanation on another site. i thought it was very funny.

***Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” is one of the most baffling pieces of music of the modern age. It’s got something to do with cheerleaders—that much is clear, judging from the chanting and the marching band that’s honking and tooting in the background. Beyond that, good luck deciphering the song’s ambiguities. We were so vexed by the mystery that is “Hollaback Girl” that we have devoted countless hours to its study. Our conclusions are below. The first thing you should know, though, is that Gwen is not singing “I ain’t no Harlem fat girl”—at least, we don’t think she is.




This whole thing is hilarious

I was actually going to post the same thing- And Cluelessbride, I had to think about ' kicking' for a minute, too. I believe it means ' hitting on ' Or so the TV tells me.

It seems like kind of an immature topic for Gwen. I know songs don't all have to autobigraphical, but it is like she is try to hard to be a popular girl.

You'd think with her years of experiecne in the music world & a few years of beign married, woudl have added a little bit of depth & maturity to her work, but I guess not. Oh well.

Every generation of college hoochies needs an anthem, I suppose.

Better yet...what's up with the whole B-A-N-A-N-A-S thing... ugh.... That song pisses me off!
When it first came out FH and I were in the car and I said...listen...they spell Bananas?...what's up with that...? He laughs hysterically everytime that song is on... We've changed it to...J-A-C-K-A-S-S!
