| I once had Bell's Palsy and can relate to the line. |
| Thanks for explaining the lyrics. I guess I'm naive, I had no idea nor did I catch the meaning behind Michelle Pfeiffer and Uma Thurman. |
Yes but according to a previous thread on this "song of the summer" was almost unanimously voted to be a song that was big in... spring. I also loved Demi Lovato's "Cool for the Summer" |
Gorilla is such a hot song, but it makes me blush, seriously! |

Maybe he just knows she really, really hates it when he stands there touching his face all over as he really likes to do for some reason so he's a little bit forlorn that he can't do this when he's out with her. He feels a bit sad about it. So it's about the sacrifices we make for love.
That and cocaine. |

And here I felt old because I thought it was about coke and then I quickly corrected myself, "but surely 'the kids these days' don't do coke! it's all about molly. have another werther's and go to bed."
i love the song, actually, great dance song. |
well maybe the fact that nearly every other song from the weeknd is about drugs lol. |
That and strippers. |

Ok- I also had no clue the song was about cocaine, but my students sure did!
I was talking about this with a co-worker because I was so excited to tell her what I had 'discovered' about the lyrics. A 4th grader over heard me mention the song lyric and told me that he loves the song too, but can't listen to it at school because someone might thing he's selling/using cocaine. Kids say/know the darnedest things. In other news- he also told me that the old phrase 'snitches get stitches' is no longer accurate. Now- they get an eye 'torn' out. Good to know. |
Wasn't it heroin in Pulp Fiction? |
Both |
| My understanding is the Michelle and Uma reference is because cocaine is nicknamed "White Girl". Insert Taylor, Madonna, any "Becky" really.... |
Come on how can you hate this: |
My first thought as well. |
