Fruchtikus: Coin-Operated Boy

Fruchtikus ad (Austria)
music: "Coin-Operated Boy" by the Dresden Dolls

To put an end to the question if this song is about dildos or not, check out Amanda's latest response at a Twitter Q&A session:

Q: "what is the one song you've written that you feel is most misinterpreted (as far as meaning)?"

A: "coin-operated boy. so many people think it's about dildos. it's not about dildos. it's about loneliness. so sadly misinterpreted."

Are there really men that hot in Austria? I don't remember my cousins mentioning that when they lived in Germany :D

[mieze666]

Well, duh! Because they were in Germany! :p

[PacoAyte]

that sounds nothing like the amanda palmer i know!!

[mieze666]

as someone already mentioned, they probably sped it up a little which would make her sound higher.

why the heck is every one speaking in stinking german

[mieze666]

because the ad is from Austria and thus in german. it only makes sense that most of the people who know it and look for it speak german.

on youtube, a lot of people are constantly being bashed for their culture, language, etc... why be a hater?

[yvihoney15]

die dunkelhaarige is vul fesch,.....die hawis net so*gg*

[FroggyHope]

That is what I thought. I knew it was not about dildos, but something to do with loneliness.

[MrsCoriii]

like it ;)

Danke fürs Hochladen! Liebe diese Werbung*g*

Good point.

Well, you know what she's got to do now...

Write a song that really is about dildos.

[velogameman]

Ya really. Well, my counterpoint to that would be the fact that in the live performance and as I think she originally intended based on the music video she says she can "even fuck him in the ass". Quite frankly that seems difficult to do to a dildo. Perhaps with, but not to.

[marleneunique]

Awesome!

[SailorBarsoom]

Dildos, huh? Never thought of that. Actually, I wouldn't think it would be practical, though I guess the Sybian could be adapted easily enough.

I don't consider myself any sort of lyrical genius, but the first time I heard it I knew it was about loneliness. She wishes she had a coin-operated boy because the flesh-and-blood ones keep breaking her heart.
