Bruno Mars, Chunky | Midnight Heat

In the 7^th edition of Midnight Heat (2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Chunky” by Bruno Mars. 

Ah, bring on Midnight Heat ! Wait – it is not usually hot at midnight! Well, it is steaming hot at midnight when it comes to this naughty, innuendo and sex-laden column featuring songs intended for nighttime. Yeah, we are talking about that after dark, bedroom boom $hi†, ya dig? These unapologetic records often raises both eyebrows and temperature alike. Woo! In the 7^th edition of Midnight Heat (2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, “Chunky” by Bruno Mars. 

“She got to shake her little something / Ooh, throwin’ that thing from left, right, side to side.” Hmm, wonder what ‘thing’ Grammy-winner Bruno Mars is referencing on “Chunky”? Honestly, it requires little imagination.  The man is talking about ASSets – da B-U-T-T! Sure, in the first verse of this 24K Magic, he wants his women to be independent where financial matters are concerned, but that’s not the fun of “Chunky!”

“If you ain’t here to party, take your ass back home.” Hmm, the use of ass sounds intentional there Bruno! In the chorus, the chunkiness comes in full-figured – robust to the n^th degree! “Chunky / Looking for them girls with the big ol’ hoops / That drop it down in daisy dukes / Yeah, I am the one, so I’m trying to recruit.” Wow! Carefree, the modus operandi is sex, period.  If you need further evidence, see verse two: “‘Cause once we get goin’, we rollin’ / We’ll cha-cha ‘til the morning.” Also, Bruno gives us a kick-ass (couldn’t resist) booty reference in the bridge: “Ooh, squeeze all of that into my coupe.” Ooh-wee, child! Get it Bruno! This 2016 groovy joint still slaps well into the 2020s!
