Hollaback Girl

「 • Note the word “bleachers”. A bleacher is the typical aluminum benches of echelon stack in a outdoor track & field for spectacle. Typical of highschool or college. It is a American thing. (so are cheerleaders)
• “touchdown” is again Football Of American stuff. It is equivalent to the world's “gooooal” with a touch of slam or stab.
• “take you out” means putting you out against your will, by force.
• “pom-poms” are those fluffy tufty thingamabobs cheerleaders use in their show to attract attention, along with their tender flesh and high kicks.
• The “sock it to you” will have to mean something like “do it back to you” in some unnecessarily cordial way.
• “Bites the dust” is easy. It means dead. Because, in dusty locations, when one is dead, one almost literally bites the dust. (e.g. dropping dead face down.)
• Generally speaking, when a animal is at youngling age, the competition is fiercest and mortality highest. It is a age of survival for almost all animals. Hang on there babes.
• Although this is a song of teens, but the singer Gwen Stefani is actually 35. So she caters to the younger sisters. But that's not out of ordinary as most popsters cater to the rash and troubled ages. It is in such a age, concepts in these songs are fascinating and critical. 」

I first heard this song about 5 o'clock in the wee hours, when my brother's radio alarm stereo blasted to wake him up. And in the about 30 seconds of exposure in my dreamy state, i loved immensely immediately. And, as a effect, i dreamed about this song for the rest 3 hours in my sleep that day for some odd reason. I don't recall the detail, but something about labyrinth with the lyrics, as i was determined to retain what snippets of lyrics i got so that i could lookup when awake and track the song down. (unfortunately, upon waking, i don't remember any lyrics.)

This song is very much like “fuck the pain away” by Peaches. It's got strong pumping beat, of cheerleader's stomps, on some American football tuff, the brainlessness of it, have me seduced shitless right away.

Mmm, what exactly is a “hollaback girl”? A girl that howls back? I'm twice of 18 to know, but Wikipedia comes to my rescue: Hollaback Girl↗.

I particularly loved the line “Let me hear you say, this shit is bananas” with the spelling out of bananas cheerleader-style: B! A-N-A-N-A-S!
