Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oo, oh, whoa
I like it when you don′t touch my hair
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oo, oh, whoa
I'd prefer it if you don′t touch my hair

Chapstick and mascara
Dawson's fifty load weekend
Anus
Laser hair removal
Willam, perhaps?

We know it when you're creeping
You know our D is there
So please feel free to like us
And buy these tops we wear
These here shirts
(Oh my gosh, I′m on that t-shirt!)
They′re good shirts
(Fag swag)
They're good shirts
(This merchandise is for sale)
Sickening

Bisexual uber-drivers
Tell me about it
My voice (ohh)
Lupita Nyong′o (delicious)
The Courtney Act patented lubing technique

You play the saxophone?
I thought you said you were good at sex
Alaska 5000

Capezio pantyhose without any runs
Feeling my oats when I'm out with Gia Gunn
Queens with old school names like, Nicole Paige Brooks
And having Mathu Anderson beating your face, uhh
Being tucked continuously for a month
Or being one of the American Apparel ad girls
Being, one of the American Apparel ad girls

I like Britney Spears circa 2007
Oh, I love it when it smells like your mom washes your clothes
I like Ariana Grande so much, I wanna order an Ariana Venti
I like turtles
What?
I like people who are pretty in their own unique way, so, no
I like your pussy
I like Happy Cow
I like when you drink that espresso and you have to poop immediately
I like turtles

We know it when you′re creeping
You know our D is there
So please feel free to like us
And buy these tops we wear
These here shirts
I like it when you don't touch my hair (really)
They′re good shirts
I like it when you don't touch my hair (no, I'm serious)
They′re good shirts
(I′d prefer it if you don't touch my hair)
Sickening
(Stay the fuck away from my hair)

We know it when you′re creeping
You know our D is there
So please feel free to like us
And buy these tops we wear
These here shirts
They're good shirts
(Oh, they′re good shirts baby)
They're good shirts




Sickening
That′s all

Overall Meaning

The song "American Apparel Ad Girls" by Willam Courtney and Alaska is a playful and sarcastic commentary on the culture of consumerism and sexual objectification. The opening lines of the song, "I like it when you don't touch my hair, I'd prefer it if you don't touch my hair" suggest a sense of detachment and nonchalance towards the objectification and obsession with appearance. This attitude is further highlighted by lines like "being one of the American Apparel ad girls" and "tell me about my patented lubing technique" which point towards the commodification of sexuality.


The song takes on a form of call-and-response between the two artists, with lines like "chapstick and mascara", "anus", "bisexual uber-drivers", and "Capezio pantyhose without any runs", which are all references to various aspects of the human body and sexuality. The song takes a sarcastic and humorous tone throughout as the artists reference everything from Lupita Nyong'o to Britney Spears circa 2007.

I was literally obsessed with this era... also, I had lots of good memories associated to the fall this was released in

@Littleathquakes

I underestimated their popularity. I figured I would just stroll in one day and buy a Willam t shirt. They were sold out!
