Story behind the song
I just wanted to make a statement about the use of sex in advertising, and about all the uproar over it, but I wanted to do it with a tongue in cheek style. A couple of interesting side notes, it took a few takes to get this song recorded because the engineer kept cracking up because he thought it was such a funny song. Also the only electric instruments used in this recording were a set of electronic drums and a bass. The lead guitar was actually a borrowed Ovation six string using a Dean Markley pickup. The slight distortion was caused by a crack in the rosette on the sound hole vibrating against the pickup. I thought it sounded cool so we left it in, instead of using another guitar.
Lyrics
See through shirts And lingerie They really know how To make my day Skin tight pants And bra-less too They really know how To get to you I know what you're thinkin' Don't get the wrong idea I saw it on my TV It was an a brand of beer (chorus) Sex sells that's what they say They really know how to get you to pay You don't need no jingles or rhymes Cause sex sells everytime Mini Skirts Fish net hose I'd like to get One of those Garter Belts And a low-cut gown Man they don't Fool around I don't know who dreams these up But I just have to rave Cause I saw a naked woman Selling Microwaves (repeat chorus) Pretty little girls Runnin on a beach Always stayin' Out of reach Sip suggestively On a straw Now I think I've Seen it all Pretty girl in nothin' But a towel She keeps it on But I don't know how I don't know What to think When they do all this To sell a diet drink Little g-strings And togas too They really know how To get to you Shiny thongs And silky thighs It looks so good It can make you high When I'm watchin' this you know My body turns to stone I can't believe how far they go To sell men's cologne (repeat chorus)
