1. Formed in 1978, The Odds were a British new wave / ska band from Hull, Yorkshire, United Kingdom, fronted by Simon 'Sam' Leyland. Their début single, 'Saturday Night' (1979), was the first release on Red Rhino Records. This was followed by a ska version of 'Yesterday Man' (1980) and a third single called 'Dread In My Bed'. There were line-up changes for every single; Leyland was always there. Guitarist and saxophonist on 'Saturday Night' was Stewart Matthewman, who left in 1980, teamed up with a singer called [artist}Sade[/artist] and co-wrote many of her biggest hits.

2. The sound of The Odds is brought to you by four musicians drawing influence from a diverse array of bands and artists from the last 60 years. They initially formed in 2005. 2009 saw a collection of profile gigs and small festivals around the United Kingdom. They are past winners of the British 'Battle of the Bands' final.

The Odds is also a misspelling for Odds. Please make sure you scrobble correctly.

Heterosexual Man
The Odds Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to make every woman I see
I want to make every woman I see
Do you know what's the matter with me?
I'm a heterosexual man
Just a heterosexual man

I want to do every woman I know
I want to do it to them in their clothes

I want to make it with them, don't you know?
I'm a heterosexual man
It's just a problem with my glands

I'm a heterosexual, heterosexual man
I'm a heterosexual, heterosexual man

I want to make every woman I see
I want to make every woman I see
Maybe make 'em make a baby with me
'Cause I'm a heterosexual man
Just a heterosexual man

I want to have every woman I know
I want to have them take off their clothes
I'll make it with them unless they say no
'Cause I'm a heterosexual man
I'll make it with them whenever I can

I'm a heterosexual, heterosexual man
I'm a heterosexual, heterosexual man
I'm a heterosexual...
Duh, duh, duh, duh
Duh, duh, duh, duh

I want to get every girl on the globe
We kiss, and hug, and then we disrobe
It's a short circuit in the frontal lobe
I'm a heterosexual man
It's just a problem with my glands

I'm a heterosexual, heterosexual man
I'm a heterosexual, heterosexual man

Overall Meaning

The Odds' song "Heterosexual Man" is a satirical take on the stereotypical male sexual desire. The lyrics convey the insatiable sexual appetite of a straight man who wants to have sex with every woman he sees, knows or meets. The song highlights the objectification of women and the way men are conditioned to view them as sexual objects.

The repeated phrase "I want to make every woman I see" emphasizes the singer's persistent desire to have sex with every woman he comes across. The use of the verb "make," instead of a more consensual term, suggests an entitlement mentality and a lack of consideration for the woman's feelings. The line "Maybe make 'em make a baby with me" shows how the male's focus is on his own pleasure and procreation rather than the woman's well-being.

The chorus "I'm a heterosexual, heterosexual man" is repeated throughout the song, giving the impression that the singer is trying to convince himself and others of his masculinity and sexual identity. At the same time, the phrase "It's just a problem with my glands" suggests that his sexual behavior is out of his control and nothing to do with his conscious choice. In sum, the song portrays an unflattering portrait of a type of man that many women have encountered.

Line by Line Meaning

I have sexual fantasies about women that involve keeping their clothing on during sex

It's a short circuit in the frontal lobe
My sexual desires for women are overpowering and often uncontrollable
