Dicknail by Hole

"Dicknail" is the second single of grunge band Hole, with the b-side "Burn Black". It was released in March 1991 on the Sub Pop label as a 7" vinyl record.
MEANING: In an interview with Flipside Magazine in 1990, band members Courtney Love and Caroline Rue said this about the meaning of the song Dicknail:

Love: "We just wrote this song called 'Dicknail'. It's about different kinds of, it's an anti-misogynism anthem. It has a verse about rape, it has a verse about incest, it has a verse about... Okay it's a male-bashing song! No, it's not..."

Rue: "It sounds like a rationale for a gang bang sometimes, the excuses..."

Love: "The words to the song are very simple, they're like, you know in rape cases how people say 'she liked it' or 'she was asking for it' or 'look at how she was dressed'. A lot of times in rape cases people don't even go to jail because the woman was wearing a fucking miniskirt!"

Rue: "They're exactly like the witch trials, you have to prove that you are completely, immaculately, virginally pure or else you are asking for it."

Lyrics:
Hey Daddy
COME OVER HERE YEAH
Got something for you
DICKNAIL
She liked it
You know she liked it
Well she was asking for it
DICKNAIL
I said, i said stop
I did what you said
I did what you want
I was a good girl, i was a good girl
i was a good girl
I said i said
I said, i said
NO
Hey Daddy
One thing's for certain baby
You have my guarantee
YOU WON'T FORGET ME
I said, i said stop
I did what you said
I did what you want
I was a good girl, i was a good girl
i was a good girl
I said i said
I said, i said
NO
Do you remember Christmas morning?
You know it's real because
Well here comes Santa Claus
Yeah she liked it
You know she liked it
I'm on your fat CLAW!

@XenBuddhist If you're 30, then you and I are basically the same generation. I'm only five years older than you.
