Smells Like Cherry

"Smells Like Cherry", by ЧёЗаУродыНаСцене (ThoseMonstersOnStage), serves up a lighthearted and playful tune that, on the surface, seems like an ode to a beloved woman but cleverly twists into a whimsical homage to, well, a doughnut. The song's delightfully deceptive lyrics toy with expectations and feed into a fun narrative that's all about craving and indulgence—of the culinary kind.

The opening lines, "When I'm hungry, I am searching / For the girl who love me true," set the stage for a romantic serenade. However, the twist comes swiftly as the singer yearns not for the touch of a lover but for a bite of a delectable treat: "You're the only who can feed me / Let me bite a piece of you." The playful ambiguity here is a tasty setup that misleads us delightfully. The song isn't diving into deep emotional waters; instead, it revels in the light-hearted fun of mistaken identity—where our 'beloved' turns out to be a doughnut.

As we move further into the song, the chorus throws in a delightful twist with, "You can try to hide from me / But you smell like cherry." Here, the cherry scent isn't the perfume of a mysterious woman but the enticing aroma of a cherry-flavored doughnut. The fun continues with a humorous, mock-serious vow of commitment, "I will find you anywhere / And I'll make you marry me" It’s clear the commitment isn't to a lifelong partner but to a moment of indulgent satisfaction.

The repeated mention of being unable to "see my hands" in the shadows adds to the playful mystery, enhancing the singer’s quest not for a hidden lover but for a sneakily elusive pastry. "Only my smell power solve that issue / And help me get your pants," further cements the playful double entendre—the "pants" here perhaps a whimsical metaphor for the wrapping or box that contains the desired doughnut.

In essence, "Smells Like Cherry" taps into the universal joy of food and the universal humor of mistaken meanings. It’s a song that doesn’t take itself too seriously, allowing listeners to bask in its playful depths while nibbling on the lyrical creativity that makes a doughnut so much more than just a snack. This song is a reminder that sometimes, music can just be about having fun and indulging in a bit of tasty wordplay.
