In the 29th edition of Midnight Heat
(2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind โThong Songโ by Sisqo.
โGirl, I know you wanna show, da-na, da-na / That thong-th-thong-thong-thong.โ Ah, bring on Midnight Heat
! Wait โ 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 $hiโ , ya dig? These unapologetic records often raises both eyebrows and temperature alike. Woo! In the 29th edition of Midnight Heat (2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind,
โThong Songโ by
Sisqo.
โShe had dumps (Ugh) like a truck /โฆ Thighs (Ugh) like what (Ugh) /โฆBaby, move your butt (Ugh).โ Da-yum! Letโs just cut straight to the chase.
โThong Songโ, a no. 3 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 by
Sisqo, a key member of
Dru Hill, is all about B-O-O-T-Y. Call โThong Songโ what it is bluntly โ an a$$
anthem. Sure, club-ready anthems are much raunchier today than they were at the end of the 90s/early 00s, but there is NOTHING refined about โThong Song.โ The Midnight Heat
is sweltering, particularly since there is no bigger picture, transcendent mindset on this horny, boned up R&B record. Shout out to the slick production by
Tim & Bob.
Objectification is the modus operandi, and Sisqo blames it on her. Why? โListen, that girl so scandalous / And I know another nigga couldnโt handle it / And she shaking that thing like, โWhoโs the ish?โ / With a look in her eye so devilish.โ Basically, given how hot she is, and the fact sheโs shaking her butt, sheโs got Sisqo by theโฆ Honestly, all three of the verses are pretty much the same vibe โ no extensive analysis necessarily. Notably, lyrically, โโCause she livinโ la vida locaโ is repeated throughout โThong Song.โ There was financial loss for Sisqo and company as a majority of the publishing rights of this song are owned by Desmond Child, who penned
โLivinโ La Vida Locaโ by Ricky Martin. The sample wasnโt cleared, hence, smaller profits. Refocusing on the song as opposed to legal matters, basically, it is what it is โ an entertaining booty anthem.
