what exactly is Vanity's "2x3=6" about?

I love the music in this song--very sensual but what exactly is the song about?

I think it is actually 3 x 2 = 6, just for the sake of accuracy

Vanity 6... 3 (girls) X 2 (breastesses each) = 6 Breastesses.

Give me some BREASTESSES I gotta have 'em. That's my David Alan Grier impression.

You know that song was written after they were all lying in bed naked with Prince. Then an idea was struck while Prince was counting the joy he just had.

Per Nilsen's interpretation, taken from Days Of Wild...

"3 x 2 = 6 has a title that could make one assume that it is the mathematical formula used to name the group (three female band members times two breasts each equals Vanity Six). However, it is in fact the most serious song of the album, as Vanity sheds her sexual bravado to speak about the tribulations of being a woman.



...i'd still say the song is about boobies though. lol

The next question would be what does the 6 in Vanity 6 mean.

I love Vanity 6,but the singing on this particular song is horrendous disbelief

Their vocals were not suitable for ballads.

Yeah, it is terrible but you couldnt make a whole girl group album wioth no ballads. Vanity has done some nice work on ballads since then - Samuelle from her Wild Animal album is nice and smooth.
