The band, and especially its leader, Shnurov, has long been famous for its catchy beats and irrepressibly bad language, somehow managing to be one of the top bands in Russia despite almost never being clean enough to earn radio play and despite its live concerts being banned in Moscow.
In 2008 Leningrad disbanded. Its former members run Рубль and Spitfire. The band reunited in 2010.
Резиновый мужик
Ленинград Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ты - резиновая баба
Мы ебёмся без любви
Нам её вообще не надо
И не трогают меня
Твои сиськи, твои пальцы
И не сводит по утрам
Всуй!
Хуй!
Всуй!
Хуй!
The lyrics of Ленинград's Резиновый мужик are quite straightforward and revolve around the idea of two individuals engaging in sexual intercourse without any emotional attachment or love. Through the use of rubber dolls, the band members create a metaphorical representation of the emptiness and superficiality that can come with modern sexual relationships. The male protagonist repeats the phrase "Я - резиновый мужик" throughout the song, emphasizing his own rubber-like, unfeeling nature. He also mentions the female's silicone breasts and "balls," further emphasizing the detachment and artificiality of the encounter.
The use of profanity and crude language is quite common in Ленинград's music, and the repetition of the words "всуй" and "хуй" throughout the latter part of the song adds to the overall raw, unfiltered nature of the lyrics.
Overall, Резиновый мужик is a commentary on the increasingly detached and unromantic nature of sexual encounters in contemporary society. Through the use of rubber dolls and graphic language, the band members emphasize the emotionless and artificial aspects of modern-day sexuality.
