I hope it he wasn't referring to black men, although it was the first thing I thought about. By the way, if he was, well, I see handsome men out with ugly sticks.

I hate this song

This is one of those songs that always bring a smile to my face. It's also a song tone deaf people can sing at the top of their lungs and still sound good. Personally, my best friend and I used to sing it drunk on stage with a band. Oh the ovation we always got. P.S. We were not tone deaf. lol

What a dumbass first comment.
I always assumed the song was from the perspective a bitter man: He hasn't got anybody and he can't figure out why the heck the "pretty women" are out with these guys (that I thought of as "buff" and large like gorillas)... what's wrong with HIM?
Why! He's a weenie, of course! He knows it. He tries to pretend to be cool, but he isn't and he knows it.
I may be wrong, but I sure don't think it's about race.
Sheesh!

Joe Jackson is great, so very cool. May very well be the voice of Linda Ronstadt in the body of Porky the Pig, but still so very cool.

well that is a pretty sick opening comment

Does this line infer that pretty girls hanging out with black guys? makes sense to me...
Courtat 8-28-2007
^^^That's not what he meant...to the previous jerk.
Kyeat 8-28-2007
DEFINITELY NOT WHAT HE MEANT, ASSHOLE (Wahlberg). Im sure anything shiny in the sunlight that can provide u hours of enjoyment would make sense to u...but not everyone can be black and beautiful.

This song is pure fluff.....it means nothing.

Dawnie--the correct word is "imply." "Infer" is what the listener would do. People always get those mixed up. And, by the way, NO, probably NOT.

I always thought they were saying ""Pretty women out walking with curlers down my street" lol
