Cover art for Brick House lyrics by Commodores, The

36-24-36 really isn't a ghetto booty or cushion-for-the-pushin' body at all, and since he does say that in this song that discredits that. I always thought that calling a woman a "brick house" means that she's well-built - like a brick house is. I've gotten quite sick of this song actually, but it's good if you haven't heard it too much.

Only if she's 5' 3".
