Wow. An Electric Six song that can actually be interpreted, rather than just be kind of... Meaningless, but full of humor and assorted awesomeness.
Well, here we go.
The song is fairly straightforward, it goes through 3 stereotypes/archetypes of women. Kukuxumusu, the woman who picks someone up and drops them at the first thing they do, and then proceeds to badmouth them. Succubus Sally, the "whore", who is hung up with comparing everyone to the last guy)liquefies the living to feed to the dead), while being overly 'affectionate', but ends up bringing you down because she always has to bring up past relationships. And then there's Hollywood Heather, the insecure wannabe movie star who insists on doing anything and everything she can to look good, she hangs on you, and leeches off of you for confidence, which she lacks naturally, and only makes you feel as though you aren't a person, but an object.
What is being said with the chorus of
"I'm not the revolution
I'm just your boyfriend
A fuck solution
Until the world ends
Don't make me do this
Don't make me sing you a love song"
Is that too many women are trying to see men as an item to use in order to build confidence, status, or purely as a trophy for themselves, and he (the singer, first person party in the song) is saying that he shouldn't have to do all this, that he's not some miracle (not the revolution), and that it should be a realistic relationship (I'm just your boyfriend).
Another note, in this song I feel that the phrase "Oh my god!" is being used as a term to express frustration rather than anything else, just a note.
