Nuclear Rabbit was started in 1989 by bassist Jean Baudin, who was influenced by a variety of music styles, including Fishbone and Bad Brains, and envisioned having a band not bound to any genre. He was soon joined by guitarist Pat Garner and drummer Steve "Stymie" Sigaty. Originally Baudin performed the vocals, but Greg Parrish was eventually asked to step in as vocalist. Nuclear Rabbit incorporates a variety of genres in their music, including metal, funk, ska, hardcore, punk, jazz, East Indian, and Egyptian. Baudin uses a variety of bass techniques, including tapping, slapping and popping. Their music is often characterized by sudden tempo changes and wacky musical stylings.
The band recorded several demos, some of which are included on the compilation Vicuna. After a quick switch of guitarists, Nuclear Rabbit recorded their first full-length album, Intestinal Fortitude, in 1998. Soon after, Greg left the band and was replaced by Jon Scullion, with whom they recorded their More Human EP.
In 2000, following More Human, Nuclear Rabbit went on hiatus. During this time Jean and Steve formed an alternative rock style group called Element of Surprise, often stylized as "E:OS." The band was formed as a supergroup of underground artists, eventually including vocalist Andy Slipka of Tribal Disco Noise and guitarist Raye Medeiros of Ten Man Killer. Medeiros left the band some time after, and Baudin asked Pat Garner to step in. They recorded two demos,"2:001" and U:pside Down, before the band called it quits in 2002.
Nuclear Rabbit reunited in 2002 with its original line-up and recorded their 2nd full length, Mutopia, the title being a portmanteau of the words mutation and utopia. The album was well received,[citation needed] but the band went through more line-up changes following the supporting tour. A few shows were played in the Northern California area in 2008 with new guitarist Macy Mullen, as well as new drummer Timothy Bailey, though the band is now currently on an unofficial hiatus, with a status of "Writing New Tunes!" on their official MySpace page for 3 years with no updates. In August, 2011, the band announced their first show in three years via JeanBaudin.com, and played an hour-long set on October 8th, 2011, at 924 Gilman in Berkeley, CA.
My Girl's Got Guts
Nuclear Rabbit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't Have To Ask Her When I Want To Take Them Out
When It Gets Cold, I Wear Them Like A Scarf
Wrap Them Around My Neck, Her Big Intestinal Tract
My Girl's Got Guts... She Does
My Girl's Got Guts
My Girl's Got Guts
'Cause I Like To Double Dutch With Her Guts
Her Guts Are Smooth... No Need To Pull A Jack Move
Reach In Her Ass And Pull Out A Foot Or Two
When I Get Hungry, Her Guts They Make A Great Snack
Chop 'em Up And Put 'em In My Backpack
Sprinkle 'em With Sauce, I Give Her Guts A Good Toss
When I'm Done Grubbing, I Use That Shit For Dental Floss
My Girl's Got Guts... She Does
My Girl's Got Guts
My Girl's Got Guts
Looks Like A Tail, My Girls Entrails
Leaving A Trail That I Can't Ignore
My Girl's Got Bowels, I Whip Like Towels
I Grip Those Bowels And I'll Never Let Them Go
Don't Need A Rubber, Her Guts Will Cover My Little Lover
Swinging From A Tree, Just Her Guts And Me
Wish My Friends Could See, Just Her Guts And Me
Swinging From A Tree, Just Her Guts And Me
Wish My Friends Could See, Just Her Guts And Me
One Intestine, Two Intestine, Three
My Girl's Got Guts, Her Guts Gots Me
I Take Them In The Back Room, Use 'em As A Broom
And When I'm Out Driving My Girls Guts Go Vroom Vroom Vroom
'Cause When I'm In A Race And I Needs To Be In First Place
Those Guts They Catapult Me To The Proper Place
Siskel And Ebert Gave My Girl's Guts The Thumbs Up
'Cause Those Dope Motherfuckers Know What's Up Her Butt
That's Right, My Girl's Got Guts, So Now What
My Girl's Got Guts... She Does
My Girl's Got Guts
My Girl's Got Guts... She Does
The lyrics to Nuclear Rabbit's song "My Girl's Got Guts" are highly provocative and vulgar, making it difficult to extract a meaningful interpretation. The singer seems to be fixated on his girlfriend's guts, which he uses in various ways ranging from wearing them as a scarf to using them as dental floss. The lyrics are highly graphic, including references to reaching into her behind and pulling out her guts, using them like a bungee cord, and whipping her bowels like towels. The singer seems to revel in the shock value of these lyrics, as evidenced by lines like "Siskel and Ebert gave my girl's guts the thumbs up."
One possible interpretation of the song is that it's a parody of heavy metal music, specifically the type that glorifies violence, gore, and the macabre. The lyrics to "My Girl's Got Guts" are so over-the-top and absurd that they're almost comical, much like the intentionally overblown lyrics of bands like GWAR or Tenacious D. It's also possible that the song is meant to be an ironic commentary on the objectification of women in popular culture, with the singer reducing his girlfriend to nothing more than a collection of body parts that he can use for his own pleasure.
