^now that's funny.
The entire Diamond Dogs album was meant to be based on George Orwell's novel, "1984", about a totallitarian society. (I've heard that he couldn't get the rights, though.) |

| Barenaked Ladies – I'll Be That Girl Lyrics

While I like JC's idea, I think it's actually about a woman who won't have him because she's madly in love with herself. "That girl" is the woman he's singing it to, who's beautiful, young, and perfect. He wants to be this woman, because only then would she notice him/her. He's saying she'll be running to him when her looks are gone. It's partly a love song, partly a f*ck-you; when he speaks of tying pantyhose around his neck, he's telling her to go hang herself, and the chorus speaks for itself. |

The song is just about an accordian... right...? I dunno, the "squeeze me... I'm so in love..." bit sounds like something else entirely. |

The couple in the song are nicely dysfunctional, in that there's this power struggle but neither really minds. And hey, they listen to T. Rex, how bad can it be. I sing this one in public and ignore the stares. |
