Roger Alan Wade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I want a butt ugly slut with a bad drinkin' problem and a jealous ol' man in jail. I want one so ugly she'll crack a mirror and so fat she'll knock a needle off a scale. As long as she'll buy me a new Zebeco I don't care if she's built like a blue whale. I want a butt ugly slut with a bad drinkin' problem and a jealous ol' man in jail.
Lord she's ignorant but she's ugly. Yeah she's lazy but she's mean. I've been to two tent revivals and a chicken fight and I ain't never seen nothin' like when my little wildebeast tears into a dozen jelly-filled Krispy Kreams.
I want a butt ugly slut with a bad drinkin' problem and a jealous ol' man in jail. I want one so ugly she'll crack a mirror and so fat she'll knock a train off a rail. Hell, I don't care if she cheats on me as long as she sends me checks in the mail. I want a butt ugly slut with a bad drinkin' problem and a jealous ol' man in jail.
" Butt Ugly Slut" by Roger Alan Wade is a song that challenges the societal norms of beauty standards and relationships. The first line of the song talks about wanting to escape from the winds that blow, which can be interpreted as a call for freedom and a desire to not conform to what is expected. The singer then goes on to express his desire for a "butt ugly slut" who has a "bad drinking problem" and whose partner is in jail. He goes on to describe how he wants her to be so ugly that she cracks a mirror and so fat that she knocks a needle off the scale.
The singer does not care about her looks or her fidelity as long as she buys him a new Zebco and sends him checks in the mail. These lines express the materialistic side of the singer and his willingness to exchange material benefits for emotional or physical intimacy. The singer also mentions that his ideal partner would be ignorant, lazy, and mean, indicating that he wants someone who is not conventionally pleasant.
Overall, "Butt Ugly Slut" is a satirical song that critiques societal beauty standards and traditional relationship dynamics. The singer wants someone whom society would deem undesirable and challenges the typical perception of romantic relationships being built on emotional connection and intimacy.
