Merrill Nisker (born 1966 in Toronto), better known as Peaches, is an electroclash artist whose songs are mainly focused on sexuality. She lives and works in Berlin, Germany. She plays almost all the instruments for her songs, programs her own electronic beats, and produces her records.
Peaches' music is preoccupied with gender identity. Her lyrics and live shows self-consciously blur the distinction between male and female: she appears on the cover of her second album Fatherfucker with a full beard; when asked if she had chosen the title for shock value, she commented:
"Why do we call our mothers motherfuckers? Why do we stub our toe and say "Aww motherfucker!"? What is motherfucker? ...We use it in our everyday language and it's such an insanely intense word. I'm not one to shy away from these obscene terms that we actually have in our mainstream. Motherfucker is a very mainstream word. But if we're going to use motherfucker, why don't we use fatherfucker? I'm just trying to be even."
She refutes accusations of 'penis envy', preferring the term 'hermaphrodite envy', since "there is so much male and female in us all". Nevertheless, she does not shy away from identifying herself as a sexual being, although she rejects the sanitised portrayal of women in popular music.
Although she does not hold a teaching degree, she taught at private schools before her career in music.
Fancypants Hoodlum released in 1995 was released under her birth name Merrill Nisker
Members of her band are known as The Herms - JD Samson, Radio Sloan, Samantha Maloney.
Her songs have been featured in movies such as Mean Girls, My Little Eye, Lost in Translation, Waiting, and Jackass: Number Two. Her music has also been featured on Showtime's The L Word television series. Peaches performed guest vocals on P!nk's album Try This, on the song "Oh My God". Her lyrics are discussed as part of the Queer Studies course curriculum at the University Of Toronto, and she has been invited to lecture at the Contemporary Music Academy in Berlin. Her most notorious song, "Fuck The Pain Away", is also the name of an Electro night in Brighton.
Tent In Your Pants

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see something in your pants that can't be real
Don't hold back, baby, tell me what's the deal
I gotta move in closer and cop a feel
Oh my, you got something with mass appeal
The tent so big in your pants, baby
The tent so big in your pants
If there's a housing crisis in the n anymore
Need a place to go, you gotta open the door
Wanna save the night, pull up a floor
Wanna feel alright, party galore
You got a tents gig going in France, baby
An immense gig up in your pants, baby
The kids need something romance, baby
Come on, let's take a chance (ooh)
The tent's so big in your pants, baby
I'm gonna bring my friends for a dance, baby
Gonna sell those tickets advance, baby
An immense gig up in your pants, baby
The tent's so big in your pants, baby
I'm gonna bring my friends for a dance, baby
Gonna sell those tickets advance, baby
An immense gig up in your pants, baby
I'm invite assuring you, connie and dean
Girls and boys everywhere wanna make the scene
There's a pole in the middle and it's made out of wood
We should all dance around it, we would if we could
Stop the pole dancing, sliding up and down
Get to romancing, down, down to the ground
Stop the pole dancing, sliding up and down
Get to romancing, down, down to the ground
The tent's so big in your pants, baby
I'm gonna bring my friends for a dance, baby
Gonna sell those tickets advance, baby
An immense gig up in your pants, baby
The tent's so big in your pants, baby
I'm gonna bring my friends for a dance, baby
Gonna sell those tickets advance, baby
An immense gig up in your pants, baby
You lick the pole when it's cold and your tongue'll stick
So keep the party pumpin' and thumpin' and shit
Rubbin' the club, legs in between
Lovin' the scrub, keepin' it clean
We're gonna wash that pole
We're gonna wash that pole
We're gonna wash that pole
Scrub that pole, wash that pole
The tent's so big in your pants, baby
I'm gonna bring my friends for a dance, baby
Gonna sell those tickets advance, baby
An immense gig up in your pants, baby
The tent's so big in your pants, baby
I'm gonna bring my friends for a dance, baby
Gonna sell those tickets advance, baby
An immense gig up in your pants, baby
Hurts so good I got a soregasm [Repeats]
