Exploring Identity and Desire in 'Chicks And Dicks' by Junior Senior
Junior Senior's song 'Chicks And Dicks' is a playful and provocative exploration of identity, desire, and the fluidity of sexual orientation. The lyrics feature a back-and-forth dialogue between the two artists, Junior and Senior, who represent different perspectives on attraction and self-expression. Junior's lines often emphasize a more fluid and inclusive approach to sexuality, while Senior's lines reflect a more traditional, yet still open-minded, stance.
The chorus, with its repetitive questioning of 'What you gonna do do after dark?' and 'Who you gonna do do after dark?' highlights the curiosity and freedom associated with nighttime activities and the exploration of one's desires. The repeated calls for 'girls girls girls' and 'boys boys boys' underscore the song's celebration of diverse attractions and the breaking down of conventional gender norms. This playful repetition serves to normalize and celebrate a wide range of sexual preferences.
The song also touches on themes of rejection and acceptance. Senior's line 'Girls think I'm hot but I think they're not' juxtaposed with Junior's 'So come over here and let me love you a lot' suggests a dynamic where societal expectations and personal desires often clash. The final lines, which mix 'girls and boys and everything between,' emphasize the inclusivity and acceptance of all forms of love and attraction, making a bold statement about the fluidity of gender and sexual identity. Junior Senior's energetic and eclectic musical style, blending elements of pop, dance, and rock, further amplifies the song's message of freedom and self-expression.
