Since there was already a thread devoted to Vanity 6's song "Drive Me Wild",I decided to make a thread devoted to "Bite The Beat",another outstanding song from the V6 album.This song is great,with OUTRAGEOUS lyrics...

"When I first saw your teeth,I knew you were the only one qualified...to Bite The Beat,don't try and call your mother,just bite it til you're satisfied"

"Bite The Beat,it will do you no harm unless you choke on a guitar string"

"Bite The Beat,it's so so yummy,it tastes like caviar"

Btw,does anyone know what Brenda means when she says "peanut butter,false alarm"? Seriously,I have no clue what she's referring to...lol...

"Move your body,make yourself sick,come on Bite The Beat of the star!"

i love this song...i always sing along with it

u made me put this on and jam to it...it's just so EIGHTIES, isnt it?

You know it! The song has a cool pop/New Wave sound.Did you know this song was actually released as a single? I guess the subject matter prevented most radio stations from playing it...lol...

DavidEye said:

I didn't know that...I dont see why radio didn't play it...it wasnt any racier than anything else out at that time.

FirstAvenue said:

The only song from their album which got any real airplay was "Nasty Girls".The other three singles ("He's So Dull","Drive Me Wild" and "Bite The Beat") bombed,most likely because they didn't sound like a "typical" R&B female group.Radio programmers were afraid of this group!

Sex Hooter And Blue Limo Were Hot Also:)

I love "Blue Limousine" too!

"He's all black,he's all white
Everybody's gotta jam tonight!"

DavidEye said:

The only thing I can think of is duck butter, but I don't think that is what the lyric actually refers to.

DavidEye said:

Me too! I played that song to death when I got the A6 album.

MiaBocca said:

At the risk of sounding naive,I have to ask...what is "duck butter"?

DavidEye said:

ROFL!! I read this & thought, "Eww! DICK BUTTER??"

ROTFLMAO


"Dick butter",huh?

DavidEye said:

Duck butter is the discharge from the anus after bareback (unprotected) anal sex.

IE: A mixture of faeces and sperm.

Yikes!!! I hope that's not what Brenda was referring to

MiaBocca said:

Bloody hell!! Did my baby write that?? Good NESS, I gotta be married for all that

Actually,in the song,Brenda clearly says "PEANUT BUTTER,false alarm,I wanna dance I don't wanna sing".


At least I *think* that's what she's saying...lol...

DavidEye said:

Yeah, that's the point - we were discussing what the reference to peanut butter meant.

I don't seriously think they meant duck butter LOL

MiaBocca said:

Perhaps Brenda is actually talking about real peanut butter?

Hey,some folks are into some kinky stuff,you know

:O

Another interesting line in this song is when Brenda sings...


"Bite The Beat,it will do you no harm unless you choke on a guitar string"


???

DavidEye said:

I SHUDDER at what that could mean, LOLOL!! :O

Back then,I had no idea what she was talking about,but a friend of mine gave me his "theory"
