Funtime
Boy George Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey baby we like your lips
Fun
Hey baby we like your pants
All aboard for funtime
Fun
Hey, I feel lucky tonight
Fun
All aboard for funtime
Fun
Last night I was down in the lab
Fun
Talkin' to Dracula and his crew
All aboard for funtime
Fun
I don't need no heavy trips
Fun
I just do what I want to do
All aboard for funtime
Fun
Baby baby we like your lips
Fun
Baby baby we like your pants
All aboard for funtime
Fun
Everybody we want in
Fun
We want some we want some
All aboard for funtime
Fun
Baby baby we like your lips
Fun
Baby baby we like your pants
All aboard for funtime
The lyrics of Boy George's 'Funtime' speak to the idea of letting go of inhibitions and indulging in culture's ideas of fun and pleasure without restraint. The lyrics describe a wild night of partying and experimentation with drugs, alcohol, and the supernatural. The song seems to be a celebration of breaking free from societal norms and expectations and getting lost in the moment.
The multiple repetitions of the lines "baby baby we like your lips" and "baby baby we like your pants" suggest a sexual undertone to the lyrics, perhaps speaking to the idea of exploring sexuality and sexual expression without judgment. Moreover, the lyric "Last night I was down in the lab / Talkin' to Dracula and his crew" alludes to the singer possibly engaging in vampire role-playing, mirroring themes of exploring fantasies and pleasures outside of the norm.
The upbeat and energetic rhythm of the song combined with the lyrics' provocative nature makes it an iconic party song. Through the lyrics' themes of escapism and exploration, Boy George invites his listeners to embrace their inner wildness and let go of societal expectations for a night of pure fun and self-indulgence.

I WISH George would do more stuff like this
klistarf
I actually bought this on cd single back in the mid 90's, not quite knowing what to expect (i did that in those days. Lol!), and it fucking blew me away! So different to what George was about, back in his heyday. As a 'child of the glam 70's' i loved it! Y'know what... i still do!! First time i've ever seen the video, tho. Great stuff... \m/ (:o)
