While I was making dinner yesterday my 12yo son sat in the kitchen and treated me to a youtube DJ-session. He’s quite fond of the old classics, so we listened to Nick Cave, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits,… intermingled with Abba and Bonnie Tyler. Of course he also threw in a bunch of more modern songs.

At one point it got a bit awkward when he played Lunch by Billie Eilish. I got to experience the watching-a-sex-scene-on-tv-with-your-parents feeling from the parent side, all the while wondering “How much of these lyrics does he really understand?”
Not out of some misplaced prudeness, but sharing a father-son bonding moment over a girl celebrating the joys of cunnilingus felt a bit weird.

Still, one of the best erotic songs out there.

…do you know how to bend?

I find that hard to believe considering it’s Billie Eilish, lol. That perishing mumble’n’whisper voice doesn’t inspire eroticism. XD

“De gustibus…”

My guess is he doesn’t understand the real meaning. He’s just inherited an unusual yet entirely non-sexual interest in licking random things.

That reminds me of the time I went to a Decemberists concert and was sitting right behind a preteen or young teen boy who was there with his mom. When the band played “Philomena” (which shares subject matter with “Lunch”) all I could think about was how awkward it probably was for one or both of them (depending on whether the kid got what the song was about or not). Unlike “Lunch” I do think it’s meant to be funny more than sexy, but still.

Hi :slight_smile:

I’m reminded of songs like Chattahoochie by Alan Jackson or When we Make Love or Face to Face by Alabama. Those songs hit different when you’re a horny teenager versus when you’re an innocent 10-year-old… and the latter two hit different when you’re a 20-something in love versus a 30-year-old reeling from heartbreak… and honestly, I’m not confident I could handle many love ballads without bursting into tears even at nearly 40.

Really catchy drum-work in this song.
