Tasty Boy
Those Dancing Days Lyrics

In these lyrics from Those Dancing Days's "Tasty Boy," the singer compares their lover to a series of distinct flavors and textures. At first, the lover is portrayed as "hot skim milk in my throat," suggesting a warming, comforting feeling when near them. This is furthered by the comparison to a "cinnamon chai," a drink known for its spicy sweetness and cozy warmth. Moving on to physical sensations, the singer calls their lover's touch "marvellous marshmallows," suggesting a softness and lightness to their presence.

But the comparisons don't stop there. Our "tasty boy" is also "crispy like a cheese doodle," perhaps implying a certain crunchiness or sharpness to their personality. The singer also references more obscure flavors, like cloudberry ice cream, a Scandinavian treat known for its tart sweetness. They also suggest that kissing their lover is akin to tasting "salty shrimps," a more pungent and perhaps even slightly unpleasant flavor.

Despite all of these contrasting flavors and textures, the singer ultimately concludes that their lover is reminiscent of a "bananananananana split": a dessert known for its combination of flavors and textures, from creamy ice cream to sweet, sticky bananas. The song ends with a repeated call to "squeeze" something, whether it be an orange or the singer themselves, suggesting a continued desire for connection and intimacy with their "tasty boy."
