Rodney Carrington Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, ahh, ooh
Ooh-wee, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ohh, hah, hah hoo, hee, hah, hoo

'You don't have to be beautiful to turn me on'

Is a country song

You don't have to be beautiful to turn me on

I've been drinking, I'm taking your big ass home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rodney Carrington’s song “Kiss” are rather straightforward. The first lines contain a series of vocalizations, expressing the initial feelings of attraction Carrington is experiencing. The following lyrics are a quote from the Prince song “Kiss,” which Carrington then notes is a country song. The repeated line “You don’t have to be beautiful to turn me on” is a message of acceptance and inclusivity. Carrington implies that looks are not the only factor in determining attraction or arousal.

However, the next line shows that Carrington’s judgment might be clouded by his drunkenness. He openly states that he has been drinking and plans to take a woman who he describes as having a “big ass” home with him. This lyric can be interpreted as a commentary on the way alcohol can lower inhibitions and alter judgment, leading individuals to engage in behavior they may not otherwise. In this case, Carrington’s attraction to the woman he mentions may be fueled more by alcohol than genuine interest.
