Diddle-Bot
The Trucks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
picked you up for a couple of bucks and walked out the door.
well, diddle bot, he's not your average joe,
he's got three different speeds-
slow fast and go, go go GO GO!
you, i found you in longview
you're smooth metallic blue
you love me through and through
you make me feel brand new,
i hope i hope i do... ah-ah-achoo!
i didn't expect to find my tits against the wall
and your monotone drone didn't phase me at all
i was kinda dissappointed cause you promised me lunch
but all i got was a diddle-bot donkey punch!
you, i found you in longview
you're smooth metallic blue
you've got me in the mood
you love me through and through
you make me feel brand new,
i hope i hope i do... ah-ah-achoo!
(robot voice: )
baby, show me what you got-
turn my knobs, fill up my slot.
The Trucks' song "Diddle-Bot" is a playful and humorous ode to a sex toy. The singer of the song is feeling lonely and decides to buy a sex toy. She finds "smooth metallic blue" diddle-bot in a store and buys it for a "couple of bucks." The diddle-bot is not an ordinary sex toy; it has three different speeds - slow, fast, and "go-go-go." The singer falls in love with the diddle-bot, and it makes her feel "brand new." However, things take a turn when the singer finds her "tits against the wall," and the "monotone drone" of the diddle-bot fails to please her. She is disappointed that the diddle-bot promised her lunch but only gave her a "donkey punch."
The lyrics of "Diddle-Bot" use playful and silly language to describe the singer's interactions with the sex toy, making it a humorous song. The repetition of the phrase "you, I found you in Longview" adds to the silly nature of the song. The robot voice creeps in towards the end of the song, asking the singer to "show me what you got" and "turn my knobs, fill up my slot." The song is a lighthearted take on the often-taboo subject of sex toys and adds a touch of humor to it.
