Goes to Hollywood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Umm, no one can be quite sure if they have it or not
Umm, is it just ejaculation or is it orgasm?
Is it just involuntary pelvic contractions?
Or is one having orgasm?
The above lyrics are from the song "Tag" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. This song is essentially a commentary on sex, and the lyrics focus on the complexity of the orgasm. The first line "Orgasm has become the most mystified states of feeling" suggests that the orgasm is something that is shrouded in mystery, and that people are unsure exactly what it is or how to define it. The following lines continue this theme, with the singer questioning whether the orgasm is simply an ejaculation, or if it involves other physical sensations such as pelvic contractions.
Overall, the lyrics of "Tag" are reflective of the larger cultural conversation surrounding sexuality during the 1980s. This was a period of time when attitudes towards sex were changing rapidly, with conversations about sexuality becoming more open and explicit. The song can be seen as a reflection of this cultural moment, with the singer exploring the nuances of the orgasm in a way that would have been shocking or taboo only a few decades earlier.
