20 Fingers' "Short Dick Man" -- Femnist Anthem or Sexist Tripe?

My favorite Gillette song is still "I'm on the Attack"

(wtf is up with the "Love Like This Before" Fatman Scoop remix just NOW getting big in the UK? it's a year old!!)

So many possible responses...

well, I did obviously just rattle it off, without giving a lot of thought. I can actually spell 'feminist' correctly, too...

Just wanted to know what you all thought.

I mean, I wouldn't know.

"do you need a fuckin pair of tweezers for that thing?"

I forgot how good this is! Super minimal: just a beat a bassline, and some cheeky vox.

nice beat!

bassline is pretty great

Needs more Gillette. : /

The radio edit was super funny for replacing "dick" with "short", so the lyrics were like "don't want no short short men" and "that's gotta be the shortest short I've ever seen".

I remember there was a very similar tune, maybe by some other artist, which went "I wanna big dick man"... Does anyone remember this?

I remember some french exchange student girls at my school got in trouble for walking around singing this tune really loudly.

Oh yeah, I think it's this one:

At the time I though this was by 20 Fingers too, but I guess someone was just cashing in on "Short Dick Men's" success.

Ha, I was actually thinking about this the other day, remembering something I read on ILM about this song being a bit hit with lesbians.

Maybe I'm still a bit riled up after reading this but I think theres something notable about a song which, if dropped at a club, can make what I imagine a hefty portion of males there very self conscious, perhaps even effectively cutting through a lot of machismo? Of course it will most likely be followed by something appropriately misogynistic, as (I think) this is probably played in a lot of ghetto tech/booty house sets. Nothing like mixing this with say, DJ assault to create a true parallel dialogue within the club.

listening to Fall 1994 and this song came up - was kinda stunned at how contemporary it sounds, grandmother to the shit on the GTFO rolling worst thread

You need to put your pants back on, honey

Wild how many times "Short Short Man" got played at our 7th and 8th grade dances - probably gave all the short guys a complex.

I still cannot believe they did that on Xuxa

Oh my god I am laughing so hard
