Tool's Hooker with a penis. It is sarcastic in the way that it makes fun of a group of people who listen to Tool. |

The theme was the corruption of our youth society due to, among other things, the exploitative sexual nature of America's advertising and media. Titles of other songs on this album included Decadence Dance, Li'l Jack Horny, Pornograffitti, Suzie (Wants Her All Day What?) and He-Man Woman Hater. With that in mind I think a cynical viewpoint to the song is necessary, but I can certainly see the song being taken out of context when removed from the album. |

| | | Oh yea i remember the album...im old  You are right as i said but the song never leads to a sexual nature but ..yes it could be taken that way...i feel they could of sexed it up but the lyrics never take on that the song is strickly a boy /girl lets get it on vibe. It could be a child to a mother or father or anyone who has ever needed more than ...hey ...uh ya i love ya ya you know it.....a touch a hug etc can really mean the world.good post ...the band beside that song to me really sucked thou. |

I've read somewhere that Donald Fagan gets lots of requests from corporations to use the chorus from I.G.Y. in commercials. |

"White Minority" by Black Flag (along with a bunch of other songs by similar bands) has been interpreted as being about white power, but it's the opposite, about not wanting to have white privilege and living in a place where that doesn't exist.

Woodchuck had me confused. When I saw "Brandy" I immediately thought of the Looking Glass song (even though it clearly says the O'Jays) and I was trying to figure out where the bar in a western port and Spanish silver chains fit into a runaway dog.
