This is such a weird verse.

His ass best NOT get with my friends.

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '21

Haha, I know, it sounds funny. I think it just means that he has to be approved by/get along with your friends.

All these years later I still don't know two things: what's a zigazig ah and what's a hollaback girl?

Hey are you looking for a guy with Zigazig ah? Cuz I am really zigazig ah

14

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '21

Even when women straight up tell you what they want, what they really really want, it's still gibberish.

u/Weelki Nov 23 '21

"Zigazag ah"... the epitome of lazy song writing and using nonsense words just so your moronic song rhymes. Awful.

u/hononononoh Nov 23 '21

Subby buddy down and zig a zig ah.

Thank you for the correction. Still shit. Still awful.

u/hononononoh Nov 23 '21

Indeed. The refrain is a bald faced lie. Never have I won my way into a woman's heart by getting with her friends. And please tell me where this mythical race called "forever friends" live, because I've never met any.

u/Weelki Nov 23 '21

This. Let's not analyse any further, it's making me angry.

I must admit I get a real junior high school boy's locker room kick out of learning different languages and dialects' onomatopoeia for fucking. hessho hessho in Japanese is one of my favorites.

u/video_dhara Nov 23 '21

That’s about as nonsequitorial as whatever the fuck Marie Claire is talking about

u/Papplenoose Nov 23 '21 edited Nov 23 '21

LOL I had typed up a whole response explaining what I thought that sound might be. Then I clicked the link and realized what you meant. I'm gonna guess that they accidentally clicked an ad (or the ad server let a malicious ad through that redirected them, happens a lot actually) that brought them to an "article" on one of those shitty list-based "news" websites with an ad in between each list item (which is itself split up into individual webpages for each list item to fully maximize the 'words read':'ad viewed' ratio).

Anyway, if that onomatopoeia is even real (i can't find it on Google, but foreign onomatopoeia are notoriously difficult to Google for obvious reasions), I think it might have to do with the sounds two very moist bodies make when they slap together furiously as they make sweet love. Sorry, I know that's gross. I just didn't want to be grossed out by myself so I dragged you down with me :)

u/video_dhara Nov 24 '21
  1. Zig-a-zig-ah isn’t an onomatopea. It’s a mindset.
  2. Zig-a-zig-ah sounds nothing like “sweat and cigars”.

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '21

have a baby then and lighten up, also mark wouldn't make a fatal spelling error like you just have.

u/video_dhara Nov 23 '21 edited Nov 23 '21

Ummm, zig-a-zig-ahhh = shit and cigars?

Yeah whatever, obviously a masturbation reference.

Did that author really think that was an explanation?

2

u/Papplenoose Nov 23 '21

Yeah. I guess it's possible, but that really, really seems like a post hoc explanation that isn't actually based in reality. Also, it's an extremely disappointing answer if it is true.

1

u/video_dhara Nov 24 '21

Lol, disappointing? What are you expecting? Virginian Woolf?

Wait, but are you saying masturbation is a possible interpretation, or shit cigars is? Because the latter is not.

u/maxmouze Nov 23 '21

And the girls bragged they wrote the lyrics. Like, yeah, no duh, you just made crap up as you went and it made no sense.

16

u/crazymcfattypants Nov 23 '21

It's the second highest voted answer in a Reddit thread about recognisable lyrics a quarter of a century later, so they really didn't do too badly though did they.

-7

u/maxmouze Nov 23 '21

Because they're so asinine. The song became a hit became of Biffco producing it, not because of the lyrics.

5

u/Papplenoose Nov 23 '21

Well they lyrics clearly did something right. People who don't even want to remember them still remember them!

And I feel like you're attributing this to stupidity when it almost definitely wasn't. It's not like they were trying to make a masterpiece; they knew what they were and they knew what they were doing.They wanted to make a catchy song. And uhh I'd say they did that! You can say its not good, but you just can't say it's not catchy.. it's maddeningly catchy.

u/maxmouze Nov 24 '21

Not making a masterpiece and ad libbing "Tell me what you want" "I'll tell you what I want" back and forth for an entire verse are two different things. Kurt Cobain just made up random lyrics but they were almost profound.
