Song: Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)
Artist: Mika
Why I Like It: Mika is a young UK artist who early in 2007 brought back memories of the late, great Freddy Mercury and his falsetto with his breakout hit, "Grace Kelly." But this song is also a delight. I saw an interview with Mika where he talked about watching TV one night and seeing a documentary on The Butterfly Lounge, a nightclub in Costa Mesa, CA for plus-size women. He said he was so impressed with the large and lovely ladies that he wanted to write an anthemn for them - this is it.
Lyrics:
Walks into the room
Feels like a big balloon
I said, 'Hey girl, you are beautiful!'
Diet coke and a pizza, please
Diet coke? I'm on my knees
Screaming, 'Big girl you are beautiful!'
You take your skinny girl
Feel like I'm gonna die
'Cause a real woman
Needs a real man - here's why
You take your girl
And multiply her by four
Now a whole lot of woman
Needs a whole lot more
Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge
Find yourself a big lady
Big boy come on around
And they'll be calling you baby
No need to fantasize
Since I was in my braces
A watering hole where the girls are round
And curves in all the right places!
Big girl, you are beautiful!
Big girl, you are beautiful!
Big girl, you are beautiful!
Big girl, you are beautiful!

Most people are attracted to a certain look, I like guys who are tall and hunky--don't like skinny little guys--sheesh, I don't want to be stronger than they are. But one of my friends likes little skinny guys--who wear jeans that are smaller than hers--whatever. I suppose guys are the same, our culture says you should look starved to death--but I think most guys don't mind a girl with a few curves.
Hey digi, If I need "affirmation" I listen to Sir Mix-a-Lot ♫. It is the ONE rap CD in my collection.
"36-24-36? Only if she's 5'3""
Heh.
BTW, if anyone thinks I am mocking big woman, please know that I am one.
Digi, I love that line too.
