elise_xx Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I'm oh so curious to what he will answer in interviews when they'll ask him what the heck this song is about:naughty: I was JUST thinking that haha ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne84 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Finally! A song about Mini Mika! He totally deserves it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn Mastin Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Suzy, that is supersleuthing at its best. So is the truck playing MIKA, or is Mika using the icecream man's song??? Edit: I tweeted them to find out. I think it was Mika's song being played. A bit of a teaser that they wouldn't realise about till later, when they actually heard the song.

kath Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I agree that it will be interesting to hear what Mika says when he is asked (no doubt a thousand times) about this song. I LOVE it:thumb_yello: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovempls Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 For all you musicians out there, this song is really, really easy. It's just A, D, E over and over again. I've been messing around with it in my guitar. I love how it sounds like a music box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire cat Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 some might find this interesting... the word "hag" is a description my gay friends use to describe a straight woman that is always around them - either a good friend or obsessed female companion ... it is usually used with a word before it... though most hags prefer to be called fruit flies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire cat Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 oh, yes. I can vaguely remember Boy George calling George Michael's girlfriend a 'fag hag' in the eighties.... vaguely that's the exact term used ... still very commonly used... even in 2009 ... and might be relevant to the song... in a way ... it will keep some people entertaining in the guessing game...

purplegrape Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 So I've read throughthe lyrics multiple times and I don't understand where everyone seem this 'gay' thing coming into play. i'm not getting onto the topic of is he gay or straight or whatever cause I have my own opinion and this isn't the place to discuss it. I just want to know where and why everyone gets the 'gay' image because I'm not getting that from just the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to know where and why everyone gets the 'gay' image because I'm not getting that from just the lyrics. Because you've got two boys here. The Toy Boy of the title (the singer compares himself to a toy, not his beloved), and the boy that the Toy Boy singer loves. Also: "I'm a boy just like you,"--the two lovers in the first part are both male, so, that's your gay thing. --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Ok, here was my take on it. THE STORY IN THE LYRICS.... The toy boy is loved by and loving a little boy. But th emother doesnt approve of him playing with a boy doll, so she pursuades teh boy that its not good. So the boy leaves him "in Georgia" meaning just leaves him somewhere and moves on. funny how it is the youngests here who first mention the original meaning of the story.. I never evem thought about what the words mean literally .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to know where and why everyone gets the 'gay' image because I'm not getting that from just the lyrics. I agree with you. I have analysed the song for hours and I can't see anything 'gay'. I think people don't read the lyrics from the very FIRST line to the LAST line, which is extremely important. I also think the lyrics of this song are way too dark and serious just to label them as 'gay', or 'involving gay'. How lame. I will type my interpretation of it tomorrow as I can't right now due to tiredness and my review and close reading of these lyrics will be posted tomorrow because then I'll have more time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the beauty of art is that it can be interpreted subjectively... if you see it this way, good for you... if others see it in another... then great... that's what makes music organic... and that's what makes mika's music even more entertaining...

The 'hag' thing is a little confusing to me too I'm not fsure what to make of it yet. HERE. A hag is a wizened old woman, or a kind of fairy or goddess having the appearance of such a woman, often found in folklore and children's tales such as Hansel and Gretel. Take a look. ...She's the meanest hag that has ever been Pulled out my insides with an old safety pin... ...So she dressed me up as the man she loved Then threw me in a box when she had had enough Now the light of day I no longer see She stuck her voodoo pins where my eyes used to be... ....Accidentally tragic Victim of her black magic... You just need to read the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I see it.The other interpretations are welcome of course. :eek: I would like to present my new interpretation for everyone under 16 or whoever this may please: The story is similar to the one in Toy Story but our Toy Boy is not as masculine as Woody. First TB is owned by a boy (you see I am NOT writing 'loves and is loved by'..) but his mum finds this weird, so TB is left in Georgia (Mika's favourite word) and his tiny golden heart is broken.... Then TB is picked up by a girl (a tomboy type) who destroys him by sticking voodoo pins all over him and does all sorts of cruel actions to him...Nevertherless, TB is mainly warried about his clothes not matching... ... it is a sad story... in all interpretations. It's time to go to sleep girls. Goodnight:bye: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
