Sex on Fire

douchebag [Edit] [Delete] 04:21, 1 January '09

since it came out, i've yet to meet a woman who doesn't squeal with joy when they hear this song. But why? I'm not questioning its general popularity (good enough track and all), but why exactly is it so popular with the female population of Britain? The other night i was in a club and there was an universal ear-piercing female scream as soon as it came along

Do women relate to the idea of "sex" being "on fire" (WEYYY)? Do they just like sex? Is it because the lead singer's voice is, to paraphrase a female acquaintance, "the sex"? Is it because the lead singer is sex?

Answer these questions, and more
