Loose
The Stooges Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh
Ah, look out
Oh
I took a record of pretty music
I went down and baby, you can tell
I took a record of pretty music
Now I'm putting it to you straight from hell
I'll stick it deep inside
I'll stick it deep inside
'Cause I'm loose
Always
I feel fine to be dancin', baby
I feel fine, I'm a shakin' leaf
I feel fine to be dancin', baby
'Cause it's love, yeah I do believe
I'll stick it deep inside
I'll stick it deep inside
'Cause I'm loose
Hey
Hey
I took a record of pretty music
I went down and baby, you can tell
I took a record of pretty music
And now I'm putting it to you straight from hell
And I'll stick it
Deep inside
And I'll stick it
Oh
Well, I'm loose




Well, I'm loose
Well, I'm loose

Overall Meaning

The Stooges’ “Loose” is a song about freedom, sexuality, and rebellion. The opening lines of the song “Ooh, Ah, look out, Oh” immediately set the tone for the track, signaling that something raw and primal is about to be unleashed. From there, the lyrics describe the act of taking a record of “pretty music” before “putting it to you straight from hell.” This juxtaposition of beauty and darkness is a key theme throughout the song.


The singer proudly declares that he is “loose,” embodying a sense of freedom and wildness that is often associated with rock music. This sense of freedom is further emphasized by the repetition of the phrase “I’ll stick it deep inside.” This could be interpreted as a sexual reference, an assertion of control, or simply a declaration of physical presence. Regardless of the interpretation, it reinforces the idea that the singer is unbound by societal norms or expectations.
