Today's Candy: Le Tigre – Viz
In 2004, NY electro trio, Le Tigre, dropped the zippy "Viz." Taken from 2004's This Island (the band's final album before their hiatus/before they decided to abandon all indie cred and work on Christian Aguilera's Bionic), this lesbianism anthem, penned by indie feminist/facial hair icon, JD Samson, is all about breaking free from prejudice and werkin' sexual preferences with pride. Dig below (I mean, come on, how can you not fall for the line, "I look into her eyes/I say 'Hey, you're not a dyke!'")...
Lyrics:
Walk in
Give him my name
Looks up and down
Takes a good look at my pecs
Puts down the clipboard
Opens the rope for my 'stache
Walk in with my duffle hanging
Hat is tilted
I'm inside
My eyes dream of bedroom surprise
They call it climbing, and I call it visibility
They call it coolness, and I call it visibility
They call it way too rowdy, I call it finally free
There's a girl
Her lips that have never seen
She comes up
Dances on me
I look into her eyes
I say "Hey, you're not a dyke"
She says:
"I call it climbing, and you call it visibility
I call it coolness, and you call it visibility
I call it way too rowdy, you call it finally free"
There's a slap
On my back
I find another butch, hat cocked, and we
We put out our hands
In the crowd
And over and over we jump up and down
They call it climbing, and we call it visibility
They call it coolness, and we call it visibility
They call it way too rowdy, we call it finally free
