On the one hand, this song is so fun and remarkably catchy for being so simple. I just can't help but laugh at the dramatic irony of the two girls defending their "classy" Daisy Dukes.
On the other, I almost wonder if there's not some deeper social commentary going on. For instance, the line: "Just because I like to freak each and every night of the week, don't mean I can't resist temptation" points out the fact that people often mistake sexual liberation as "sluttiness" and may believe a woman who has many partners is be sick and desperate and unable to say no-- failing to realize that she might in fact ENJOY uncommitted sex (the way men are entitled and often PRAISED for enjoying it) and may have her own standards that are just different from other girls'. "I don't give a damn about my reputation." Good for her, I say!
It's also sad but salient that these girls who are accused of being sluts in turn accuse others of the same thing: "I'm not a fuckin' slut you fucking cock sucker, your mom's the one letting everyone fuck her. Everyone knows she's a fuckin' ho, sucks dick on the corner for a little blow." "Slut" is a weapon used against women, a way to make someone look and feel better about themselves in comparison. It's just as they say: "But don't judge me by what I do, 'cause baby you know you want to hit it too. Shit, you know they all want to hit it. Yeah, they're just talkin' shit 'cause they want it." It's others' insecurity, plain and simple. If you can't get-- or if you can't BE it-- you go all sour grapes and say that it's nothing something anyone should want in the first place.
Even if the song is intended to be lighthearted, it hits on some pretty intense issues!
