The Donnas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you wanna get it good, you gotta get it well done
Yeah, it's steamy hot and there's nothin' to do
So I go down to Huffy's for a BBQ.
Sizzliin' meat and it's ready to eat
So come here baby give me some of your meat
El Grullenses's where the beef is hot
And the taco boy wants whatever I got
You drive me crazy when you turn up the heat
Well done
You're lookin' good, I think I'm ready to eat
And don't try to give me that medium rare
If it ain't hot and hard, then I don't even care
You want some of me you gotta give some first
And if it ain't done right it can't quench my thirst
Well done
You drive me crazy when you turn up the heat
Well done
You're lookin' good, I think I'm ready to eat
Well Done.
Well Done.
The Donnas' song "Well Done" is a bold and cheeky celebration of desire and sexual appetite, using the metaphor of a BBQ to evoke the heat and intensity of physical passion. The lyrics speak directly to the listener, urging them to embrace their primal instincts and seek out experiences that are "well done," meaning fully satisfying and fulfilling. The opening lines set the tone and theme of the song, as the singer proclaims that the key to success is getting things "well done," whether it's meat on the grill or sexual pleasure. The reference to the BBQ and Huffy's creates a vivid sensory image of a hot summer day, with the smell of cooking meat and the promise of good times with friends adding to the overall energy of the song.
Throughout the song, the lyrics play with the double entendres and wordplay, using phrases like "give me some of your meat" and "quench my thirst" to suggest both physical desire and hunger. The repetition of the chorus, with its insistent declaration of "well done" as the ultimate goal, reinforces the overall message of the song: that in pursuing our desires, we should aim for nothing less than complete satisfaction. Overall, "Well Done" is a bold and fun celebration of pleasure and the joy of living.
