Theme & Lyrics ✍

“If we’re gonna get nasty baby / First we’ll show and tell / Till I reach your ponytail.” Woo! I don’t think anyone would deny that 🎙 Ginuwine is a handsome man 😍.  The man has sex appeal, something that makes his music, well, sexy too.  Early on in his career, Ginuwine got us all hot and bothered singing about his 🎵 “Pony”.  Yes, his pony is exactly what you suspect it is – his penis! The most memorable part of this 1996 gem from 💿 Ginuwine…the Bachelor is – drum roll please – the chorus! Of course, it is because this is where this stud encourages her to giddy up! Yeehaw!

“If you’re horny, let’s do it, ride it, my pony

My saddle’s waitin’, come and jump on it.”

With those looks and that lustful invitation, who could resist that ride? Besides the chorus, Ginuwine sets up his horniness on the verses.  In the first verse, he’s searching for a rider and asserts, “Girl, when I break you off / I promise that you won’t wanna get off.” Holy sugar honey iced tea G! The second verse is steamier: “Send chills up and down your spine / Juices flowing down your thigh.” I have a suspicion he’s not talking about orange juice people! In addition to all this big dick energy Elgin Lumpkin serves up, notably, 🎛 Timbaland famously produced this top ten Billboard Hot 100 hit.  “Pony” is a prime example of the producer at his finest.  Man, how did “Pony” stall at no. 6 on the Hot 100? Also, worth mentioning, “Pony” got an incredibly sexy music Video 🎶📼 – fitting.  I mean, a dancing Ginuwine with his shirt open…nuff said! I did mention Lumpkin was a handsome man, right?

Final Thoughts 💭 

What else can I say? Ginuwine was the sugar honey iced tea back in the day, NO CAP.  I mean, if you’re a guy you’re jealous of that swagger (and abs) he possessed.  Jealousy aside, “Pony” is one of those songs that defines the 90s. Even to this date, with that Timbo production, “Pony” still sounds fresh.  And as for matters of the bedroom, well, it’s tailor-made for that universal three-letter word!
