The first time I heard "I Know What Boys Like" by the Waitresses, it was unforgettable. The song appeared in an HBO's documentary on the sex industry and it was playing in the background of a striptease by a young dancer.
The song, at least to me, felt incredibly dirty, naughty, sexy, and empowering at the same time.
I know what boys like
I know what guys want I know what boys like I've got what boys like I know what boys like I know what guys want I seen them looking I make them want me I like to tease them They want to touch me I never let them - The Waitresses |
