There's Gun Gun on My Shoe: "Chubby Thighs" by Gun Gun

Only the harshest, Germanic death metal fan residing in his stepmother’s basement in Stockholm trying to resurrect the ghost of Leif Erickson could not like this stuff… and even he would likely get a chuckle out of the line “you gotta a funny nose from all the co…oh…oh…oh…ohke.” “Chubby Thighs” is smartly funny, revealing, and thoroughly endearing. Clocking in at under two and a half minutes, the song combines basic two chord strumming by Ash (from Record Hop) with Lisa’s (from A-Dub) angelic voice, and clever lyrics. Chronicling a girl’s need for acceptance by a wannabe rock star, “Chubby Thighs” can be seen as a metaphor for every individual (young and old) in American society’s desire to not only belong somewhere, but have an identity, as well. Now that Phil Spector has beaten the murder wrap, and if he still has good taste, I’m sure he would love to apply his wall of sound to these young ladies… and not just because they’re called Gun Gun.
