Girls
Moments & Whatnauts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some skinny, some small
I got to get to know them all
Girls I like them fat, I like them tall
Some skinny, some small
I got to get to know them all
Love the things they show
Have to be where they go
Pretty girls the sunshine in the air
The perfume that they wear
Girls are everywhere
I like to be on an island
With five or six of them fine ones
With one to be in good looking
And one to do best cooking
Give me one with a lot of money
Give me two with a lots of honey
Give me three to do freaky things
Give me four or five more that like to swing
Superfine mighty fine
Sugar and spice and everything nice
I like to be a magician
Then I could start wishing
I'd take a magic wand and poof I'd have me fun
If the guys could see me they'd swear I was Houdini
Before they'd count from 1, 2, 3
I'd have ten girls sitting next to me
Superfine mighty fine
Sugar and spice and everything nice
I like to be a magician
Then I could start wishing
I'd take a magic wand and poof I'd have me fun
If the guys could see me they'd swear I was Houdini
Before they'd count from 1, 2, 3
I'd have ten girls sitting next to me
The song "Girls" by Moments & Whatnauts talks about the singer's preference for women of different shapes and sizes. The repeated line "Girls I like them fat, I like them tall, Some skinny, some small, I got to get to know them all" emphasizes that the singer is attracted to women in general, regardless of their body type. He also admires their personalities, the things they know, the things they show, and the places they go. The singer imagines being on an island with a group of women, each with different qualities that he finds desirable - looks, cooking skills, wealth, and sexual proclivities.
The song's chorus repeats the line "Superfine mighty fine, Sugar and spice and everything nice," which further reinforces the singer's admiration of women. He wishes he were a magician so he could magically conjure up a group of women around him to fulfill his desires. In essence, the song objectifies women by reducing them to mere physical attributes and abilities that satisfy men's desires.
Despite the normalized objectification of women in mainstream music, it's important to acknowledge the problematic nature of such lyrics. Women should not be reduced to body parts or attributes, and their worth should not be dependent on men's desires. While the song may be catchy, it's essential to critically analyze its lyrics and hold artists accountable for the messages they perpetuate.

I just love the atmosphere that this music brings back from an era when I was the happiest in my life. I'm now 62years old I could cry how this makes me feel
@HarryFlowerrs
You know what used to make me cry?
The fact that people hate The Moments and would gladly stomp on their heads and kill them purely and simply because they have a different colour skin!
Lynched,castrated,pulled apart by horses,all manner barbaric shit at the hands of the so called ‘Master Race’!
Over 400 years of persecution yet We produced sheer genius under extreme circumstances!
I’ll await the Clowns........🤡🤡🤡
@longboardwoddy
