the boyband song that's about wet dreams
Do boybands dream of liquid babes? Forget wanting it that way and not knowing you’re beautiful: in our most treasured boyband fantasy, a Frankenstein’d monster gal comes to slippery, stinky life, and we’re done being silent about her. Eliza and Noah take Anthony on a troubling journey to O-Town, and the minor boyband’s most confounding hit, 2000’s ‘Liquid Dreams’. Its legend foretells of a dream girl with the body parts of various celebrities, so hot she makes the band shoot ropes in the middle of the night. Eugh.
We break down the lyrical description of the perfect woman, question how this was a real, charting pop song pitched at impressionable young girls, and appreciate somea those sweet sweet vocal riffs. It’s a pop song analysis that’ll follow you into your dreams…whether you’ve got a towel ready or not.
SHOW NOTES: the_SONG: Liquid Dreams - O-Town // the_MESSY_PERFORMANCE: Liquid Dreams Live on Miss America
