Hey, What's That You Say

"I'm hungry (put that dick on me)
I'm starving (they want my boyfriend)"

-Big Freedia

Okay, I'm kinda clueless as to how to begin to tackle this one. First of all, I must say that one of the beauties of New Orleans bounce music is that it CERTAINLY lacks homophobes. Some of the most popular bounce artists are either homosexual, cross-dressers, or some homosexual derivative. Knowing this, it is no surprise that Big Freedia (who openly admits to being the "Queen Diva" and "The Dick Eater") can belt out lyrics like this at New Orleans' Club Sam's (run by Katey Red's husband, Sam). During her live performance in between ward shout-outs, she stops the music to "put y'all on something new." She says the "I'm hungry" and "I'm starving" and instructs the crowd as to their respective response chants.

The more amazing part is that the girls (read JUVIES) just belt out the responses as if it were a part of life to boast the urge to ingest a penis. Then, even if that wasn't enough, it makes no sense. Contemporary colloquial talk would suggest that "putting the dick on you" meant that the penis would submerge itself into the pleasureable depths of the vagina. Knowing this would indicate that the wrong lips are being fed during this hunger impulse. This is assuming that fellatio is the subject of hunger inference.

Next is the starving issue. Apparently, the woman has been deprived of fellatial delights for so long, they are STARVING. Judging from the end tail of that chant, they were starving for a rhyme, because them wanting your boyfriend has NOTHING to do with you starving. Then again, could the fact that your boyfriend is out with "them" the reason that you can't suckle upon the phallus that you seem to have on reserve. I guess it's true. What you won't do, another woman is SURE to do. Whatever they're doing to pull a woman away from his fellatio-starved girlfriend boggles my mind. Maybe they perform and cook for him afterwards, I guess. At least SOMEBODY'S eating...

Yea, this stuff makes no sense, but once the booties get to moving, nobody cares and it's all good in the hood. Of course, ater this wonderful blurting, she later goes into the "hate your baby daddy" thing, which has been covered already. Amazingly though, she goes into "if you love your baby daddy, say i-yi-yi!!" Well, I guess it's good to see that Big Freedia's all about including EVERYBODY in the mix. Good show, Freedie!
