The Lonely Island Feat. Beck's song Attracted To Us is a satirical take on the concept of male ego and machismo. The song uses tongue-in-cheek lyrics to mock the idea that all women find men desirable.
Beginning with the satirical assertion that all types of women are attracted to them ("White girls! Black girls! Asian girls! Latinas!"), the song then proclaims that the men in question are "shy, oh so shy" and "nice and polite" - attributes that are generally not associated with aggressive, stereotypical male behavior. This is emphasized in the chorus, which repeats the idea that the women will "never get it" because the men are too shy.
By using this humorous and absurd approach, The Lonely Island aims to subvert the traditional power dynamics between men and women. The song suggests that men should not be so confident in their presumed desirability and that there is more to a person than just physical attraction.
Overall, Attracted To Us is a hilarious parody that encourages listeners to question their own assumptions about gender and attraction.
