I really think that the song is about sex, and about seduction. The musicians that play behind Ozzy are just that musicians, not a quote unquote band, like Aerosmith, or ha, Def Leppard.įourth, why in the hell is anyone comparing Def Leppard to Ozzy? It's like comparing Bon Jovi to Guns N' Roses, the number of similarities is so small is laughable. You take Ozzy Osbourne out of the picture and they are not a band. Secondly, what's with virtually no one saying what they think the song MEANS? Isn't that the entire point of this? To debate song meanings? General CommentFirst off what's with all the 15 year olds getting into Def Leppard? I mean not that it isn't great that the younger generation is trying to understand there was life before the bullshit they call music (read pop and rap) nowadays, but wow the first page and a half wasn't alive when this song came out, hell some of them were barely able to understand English when The Vault came out! Take a bottle (take a bottle), shake it up (shake it up)īreak the bubble (break it up), break it up
'Cause I'm hot (hot), say what, sticky sweet You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up (loosen up) Pour Some Sugar on Me Lyrics: Step inside / Walk this way / You and me babe / Hey hey / Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on / Livin' like a lover with a radar phone / Lookin' like a tramp. Listen, red light, yellow light, green-a-light go
Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah, yeah Razzle 'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a little light Easy operator come a knockin' on my door".Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it onĭemolition woman, can I be your man? (your man) If you failed to keep putting in money - the arcade operator would knock on your door to leave the booth: "You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little, tease a little more. Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love." The guys would masturbate while we stripped, teased, touched ourselves & danced. 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' is considered the bands signature song, and was ranked 2 on VH1s '100 Greatest Songs of the 80s' in 2006. It reached number 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on 23 July 1988, behind 'Hold On to the Nights' by Richard Marx. second, he might mean it literally, as a kinky sex thing, like where she might put chocolate syrup on him then lick it off ('Take a bottle, shake it up ' being the bottle of chocolate syrup). Some of the screens used a stoplight sequence when getting ready to start: "Red light, yellow light, green-a-light go! Crazy little woman in a one man show. 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' is a song by the English rock band Def Leppard from their 1987 album Hysteria. one, the phrase 'Pour some sugar on me' i think might mean, 'Give me all your affection' (affection being sweet like sugar) but in an extreme way - POUR it on me.
Why's that? You entered a private booth, the screen started off as a "mirror" until you put in your money. But nothing the band has ever recorded comes close to the lyrical chaos of 'Pour Some Sugar on Me. I know this all too well - used to "perform" at one when I was in college - we were sometimes referred to as "mirror mannequins" by the patrons. The song is about sex but the backdrop appears to be about those video booths where the girl worked live behind a mirror and privately entertained guys that put money into the slots - these were fairly common in porn shops during the early 1980's.
