Sexy
Kate Rockwell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I could change the world
I'd make it Halloween
Every single day
And also have world peace
Maybe world peace should be first
World peace and then Halloween
Hi, if I could change the world
I'd make us have world peace
And also Halloween
Every single day
On Halloween
You can pretend to be someone else
It's like the internet
Only in person and with candy
When you are the hot one
It's a full-time gig
Looking like what people wanna see
(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh)
Once a year I am not
I dress up and dream big
Disguised as someone else who is not me
But is still hot
I can be who I wanna be and sexy
I can be who I wanna be and hot
Don't like who you are?
Then hit that costume shop
Rock a new and different sexy look
(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh)
Why be so downhearted
Blast some trashy pop
And drop it to this hot and sexy hook
I can be who I wanna be and sexy
I can be who I wanna be and hot
Be somebody new
Do a total transformation
Animal, or mineral too
Or even vegetation
I give you sexy corn
I can be who I want to be
And sexy
A sexy quint from sexy Jaws
Catching sexy sharks (uh-huh)
Sexy Eleanor Roosevelt
Or sexy Rosa Parks (uh-huh)
I can be a sexy pirate
Or a sexy ballet dancer
I can be a sexy doctor
And cure some sexy cancer!
That's not right, is it?
No
I can sexy cure some cancer!
No!
I can cure sex cancer
Sex cancer doesn't exist
I did it
Happy Halloween!
This is modern feminism talking
I expect to run the world
In shoes I cannot walk in
I can be who I want to be
And sex, sex, sexy
I'm a sexy mouse
The song "Sexy" by Kate Rockwell is a fun and upbeat anthem about self-expression and liberation through costume play. At first glance, one might think the song is simply about Halloween, but it actually goes deeper than that. The singer suggests that the holiday's allowance for pretending to be someone else offers an unparalleled opportunity for individuals to embrace their sexy side without judgment or consequences. The lyrics are catchy and playful, but also carry themes of self-acceptance and confidence.
There is also an element of satire in the song, particularly when the singer mentions the likes of "sexy Eleanor Roosevelt" or "sexy Rosa Parks" – poking fun at our culture's obsession with sexualizing everything and everyone. By doing so, the song encourages listeners to think critically about the pressures society puts on us to conform to certain molds and standards, and instead empowers them to be whoever they want to be.
Overall, "Sexy" is a lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek celebration of sexuality and individuality, conveyed through clever wordplay and infectious pop beats.

If I could change the world
Kate Rockwell wishes for the world to be different
I'd make it Halloween
Every day would be fun like Halloween
Every single day
Every day a new chance for fun
And also have world peace
In her perfect world, there's peace too
Maybe world peace should be first
Peace is more important than Halloween
World peace and then Halloween
The order of preference: Peace, followed by Halloween
Wait, let me start over
Kate realizes her priorities might have been mixed up
On Halloween
The only day you can pretend to be somebody else
You can pretend to be someone else
Halloween is about wearing a mask
It's like the internet
A virtual anonymity in real life
Only in person and with candy
In person, with sweets
When you are the hot one
Attractive or popular people have pressure to maintain the image
It's a full time gig
Being hot is a 24/7 job
Looking like what people wanna see
Attractive people have to cater to the viewer's preference
Once a year I am not
Kate can let go of her image on Halloween
I dress up and dream big
Halloween is for dreaming and being creative
Disguised as someone else who is not me
Halloween is a chance to be somebody else
But is still hot

Don't like who you are
Change your persona on Halloween
Then hit that costume shop
Go get a mask or costume
Rock a new and different sexy look
Try a new type of sexy persona

Kate doesn't want sorrow on Halloween
Blast some trashy pop
Enjoy life with pop music
And drop it to this hot and sexy hook
Dance to Kate's song
Be somebody new
Halloween is a chance to start anew
Do a total transformation!
Go all out and change fully
Animals, or men will do
Costumes can be anything - even vegetation
Or even vegetation!
Any costume is valid - even sexy corn
I can be, who I want to be
Halloween is a chance to be yourself
And sex, sex, sexy
Kate loves to be sexy
I'm a sexy mouse
Kate is dressed as a sexy mouse in the music video
I expect to run the world
Kate is confident in herself
In shoes I cannot walk in
The path to success can be difficult
And sex, sex, sexy
Kate values her sexy image
I can be, who I want to be
A reflection of the song's central thesis

I’ve watched this 15 times in counting. 😀
Karen is the best out of all of them.
Kate Rockwell is the best.
PERIOD. (My opinion, you can have your own favorite 💕)
I wanna see it on Broadway sooooo bad.
I wanna see Ericka Henningsen, Reneè Rapp, Grey Henson, Barret Wilbur Weed, of course Kate Rockwell, Krystina Alabado, and Kyle Selig. It is my absolute dream to see them.
“I give you sexy corn.”

Anyone else just realize that if Karen’s actor messes up/forgets her lines it doesn’t matter. She’s in character.
@caitlin4265
