Elastica Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Louder, louder)

When you're stuck like glue
When you need some goo
When you're stuck like glue,
Vaseline
When you're black and blue,
Vaseline
La la la la la la la la la la
When you're stuck like glue,
Give me some
When you're stuck like glue
If you'd like to woo,
Vaseline
La la la la la la la la la la
If it's hot like you,
Give me some
Do you need a clue,
I want some

Overall Meaning

The song 'Vaseline' by Elastica is about the singer's desire for the petroleum jelly known as Vaseline. The lines "When you're stuck like glue, give me some" and "If you'd like to woo, Vaseline" suggest that the singer is using Vaseline for sexual purposes. The line "When you're black and blue, Vaseline" may refer to the use of Vaseline as a healing ointment for bruises or as a lubricant during rough sexual activity.


The repetition of "Vaseline" throughout the song creates a hypnotic and almost tribal quality to the lyrics. The use of the word "woo" also adds to the sexual connotations of the song, as it can mean to court or seduce someone. The playful, almost childlike "la la la" chorus contrasts with the more explicit verses, adding to the coy tone of the song.


Overall, 'Vaseline' is a fun, irreverent song with a provocative edge that showcases Elastica's unique blend of punk and pop.
