Default What is a "Hollaback Girl"?
I've been wondering so I thought I'd ask.

I thought it was a 35-year-old who didn't know high school was over. (That was bitchy; couldn't resist.)

Technically this has nothing to do with this thread, but I saw your other one--points to icon--I dig Tori, too, and I've never seen her live. I hope you get good seats and have a great time at the concert.

I think it is a girl who doesn't take **** off anyone, and instead of being all talk she is a girl who takes action!

Especially because of this verse:

So that's right dude, meet me at the bleachers
No principals,no student-teachers
All the boys want to be the winner, but there can only be one
So I'm gonna fight, gonna give it my all
Gonna make you fall, gonna sock it to you
That's right I'm the last one standing, another one bites the
dust

Well, hell--it's not like I'm in any danger, is it? I mean, she ain't no hollaback girl, right?

Actually, that would make no sense, as Gwen ain't no Hollaback Girl. :\

Makin' you do her hollaback work for her, is she? If I were you I'd ditch her.

Kidding aside, though, I don't actually have an issue with that song. It's the video that makes me go, WTF?

I think the song's catchy, but that verse that was posted earlier is just kind of disturbing. I hadn't even realized it was in there.

And you got the "35-year-old still in high school" from "Best Week Ever," didn't you?

Right. I must've gotten confused for a second.

Also, that's not Moe Tucker and John Cale in your avatar, is it?


As for your sig quote:

A: Go to a lake of fire and fry.

Actually, I don't watch "Best Week Ever", so I don't know what you mean. But if you've seen the video, you will notice that she is, in fact a 35-year-old parading around in high school, in a band uniform. And that she seems to have an affinity for high schools in general.

Oh, okay. They made that joke on "Best Week Ever." Something about how she was 35-year-old who thought she was still in high school. But I know you could get that just from watching the video.

I'll try to come up with something more original next time, since it seems to be important. Like her perpetual entrapment in the Eighties.
