Lady Chaterly

La Polla Records' song 'Lady Chaterly' delves into the intricate and often controversial themes of desire, voyeurism, and the complexities of romantic relationships. The repeated invocation of 'Lady Chaterly' is a direct reference to the infamous character from D.H. Lawrence's novel 'Lady Chatterley's Lover,' a story that explores the boundaries of love, class, and sexual freedom. By invoking this character, the song immediately sets a tone of forbidden and passionate love.

The lyrics suggest a scenario where Lady Chaterly is encouraged to seek out a lover, not for her own pleasure, but for the voyeuristic enjoyment of the speaker. This dynamic introduces a power imbalance and a sense of manipulation, as Lady Chaterly is asked to 'play' and 'pose' for the speaker. The repeated phrases 'Oh! Oh! Lady Chaterly' and 'Oh! Oh! Juega para mí' emphasize the speaker's desire to control and observe, rather than participate directly in the romantic or sexual act.

The song also touches on the emotional detachment and the strange nature of this love triangle. The lover is described as 'the worst of this strange love,' indicating a sense of disdain or jealousy from the speaker. This complex interplay of emotions—desire, control, jealousy, and detachment—paints a vivid picture of a relationship that is far from conventional. La Polla Records, known for their punk rock style and provocative lyrics, use 'Lady Chaterly' to challenge societal norms and provoke thought about the nature of love and desire.
