The Electric Companion: Unpacking Motörhead's 'Vibrator'

Motörhead's song 'Vibrator' is a cheeky and playful exploration of a rather unconventional subject: a vibrator. The lyrics are filled with double entendres and metaphors that personify the vibrator as a reliable and pleasurable companion. The song opens with lines that emphasize its readiness and ability to improve one's mood, likening its effect to that of a loyal friend who is always there to provide comfort and satisfaction. The vibrator is described as 'larger than life' and 'sharper than a knife,' suggesting its powerful and precise nature.

The chorus reinforces the vibrator's role as a dependable and disease-free source of pleasure. The line 'I’m a friend, my love won’t bend' highlights its unwavering reliability, while 'I’ll keep you free from any nasty disease' underscores its safety compared to other forms of sexual activity. The vibrator is depicted as an eager and enthusiastic partner, always ready to please and never failing to deliver satisfaction. This personification creates a humorous and light-hearted tone, making the song both entertaining and memorable.

In the final verses, the vibrator's 'legendary thing' and the 'stars in your eyes' are metaphors for the intense pleasure it provides. The song concludes with a playful acknowledgment of the vibrator's role in providing repeated satisfaction, as well as its readiness for future use. The repeated refrain 'I’m a Vibrator, pleased to make a start' emphasizes its consistent performance and reliability. Motörhead's 'Vibrator' is a fun and irreverent take on a topic that is often considered taboo, using humor and clever wordplay to celebrate the joys of self-pleasure.
