(From The Orange County Weekly -- By Greg Stacy)
GWEN STEFANI'S HOLLABACK GIRL is one of the most baffling pieces of music of the modern age. It’s got something to do with cheerleaders -- that much is clear, judging from the chanting and the marching band that’s honking and tooting in the background. Beyond that, good luck deciphering the song’s ambiguities.
We were so vexed by the mystery that is HOLLABACK GIRL that we have devoted countless hours to its study. Our conclusions are below. The first thing you should know, though, is that Gwen is not singing "I ain’t no Harlem fat girl" -- at least, we don’t think she is.
Carl Wiser, thanks for the post. This song is great, but has baffled me as well.
Please note, there is offensive language contained in the song and on the site below.
