| The Commodores – Brick House Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
The meaning of the song and the term "Brick House" is very simple. It is an old 1970s expression for someone, usually a woman, who is "very well built" as is made very clear in the lyrics, "...Well put together..." or "...The lady's stacked..." or "...36-24-36...." If you can find a woman with these measurements, which is very rare, you will instantly understand what "She's a brick house..." means. It should go without saying that an actual brick house (a house with walls made with only bricks and mortar) is a very solid structure and is very desirable, if well built. So in the same way, finding a woman you would describe as a "brick house" or "well built" is also very desirable woman. This expression should not be confused "built like a brick sh*t house," which usually describes a very large and muscular man, who you would not want to be matched against on an American Football field or in a fight. |

| That quote just about says it all. I pity anyone who has never heard one of his first 6 studio albums, they are all great, not to say most of his later albums weren't great too. | |

| Wow. I've had this record for years, but this is the first time I ever read the lyrics along with the song, really changes the meaning when you actually know what he's saying. Thanks. | |

Sadly, this could be about any number of "dead stars" as they call them. I remember, back when I was a kid, in the last few years before Elvis died, you couldn't give his old records away, but as soon as he died, all his records were snapped up from the old record bins they had sat in for years. The same thing happened to Bob Marley records. I'd be willing to bet more Bob Marley recordings have been issued AFTER he died than before. If I were to guess, I would say it's about Sid Vicious of The Sex Pistols, but that's just a guess, it could just be a slam on the record industry in general, as was said previously. |
