Less Teeth, More Tits

The song 'Less Teeth, More Tits' by Lunachicks is a biting critique of societal beauty standards and the hypocrisy that often accompanies them. The lyrics are laced with sarcasm and frustration, targeting the unrealistic expectations placed on women to conform to a certain image. The song opens with a series of puns on the word 'Miss,' setting the tone for a satirical examination of how women are judged based on their appearance. The mention of 'Miss America' highlights the cultural obsession with beauty pageants and the idealized version of femininity they promote.

Throughout the song, Lunachicks use vivid imagery to describe the lengths to which women go to achieve physical perfection. Lines like 'Teeth are capped, lipo-sucked, hair is set and nose is contoured' paint a picture of the invasive procedures women undergo to fit societal norms. The repeated question, 'Am I smilin' enough? Am I smilin' too much?' underscores the constant scrutiny and pressure to appear perfect. The chorus, 'Less teeth and more tits, it's never enough,' encapsulates the song's central message: no matter how much one conforms, it will never be sufficient.

The song also delves into the hypocrisy of those who claim to want to change the world while perpetuating these harmful standards. The line 'What a bunch of hypocrites tryin' to change the world' calls out the contradiction between advocating for progress and enforcing regressive beauty norms. The repeated plea, 'I wanna see something else,' serves as a call for authenticity and a rejection of superficial values. By the end of the song, Lunachicks challenge listeners to question these standards and seek something more meaningful and genuine.
