| The blatant teenage sexuality in this song is unmistakable. While Bono rarely writes genuine love songs, he's never been a stranger to writing about sex, and this he's admitted numerous times by saying "U2 writes songs people can have sex to." I've heard on numerous occasions that this song is about Adam Clayton and his hard-core party lifestyle. In the beginning, Adam was the only member of the band who associated himself with the partying scene, so that seems feasible. I always think of a teenaged love triangle when I think of "Party Girl". The lyricist, obviously out of his element is at a party, observing a girl and her interaction with a guy Bono describes as a "trampoline" (a clear sexual reference to someone who sleeps around). The lyricist (presumably Bono) is mystified as he likes this girl and she won't really talk to him because she's interested in the "trampoline" guy. This song is narrated by a guy who wants a chance to be with the party girl, but he knows she wants the guy who's only after her for sex. Ha, well, I've been the narrator in this song and dance many times throughout my teenage years, and the story is unmistakable to me. It's classic. Being the brainy poetic soul in an environment where everyone else is just after sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Liking someone who likes someone else who is obviously just using them...we've all been there. Tell me that's not exactly what this song reminds you of! ;) And yes, it does sound very much like a Police song, though I never noticed that until now. | |
