jdm56 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 And a related question: What in the heck does eating bananas have to do with anything else in the video? Is it some kind of sexual reference, or is Miss Stefani on the Chiquita payroll? I need to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodog Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I'm still looking for Mr. Cent's candy shop. Evidently those lollipops he sells are very popular with the ladies. Woo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicholtl Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 A hollaback girl is a girl that will "holla back," or "hit you back up," or get back in touch with you. Hence, "holla" back (at you). Mainly, it's a booty call girl, better known as a girl that is readily on tap, or a girl that will give you sex once you give her a call (or a two way message). And eating a banana is quite clearly a phallic reference... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlieboy Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I think the bananas reference is an old cheerleader "cheer" I remember something similar when I was a kid years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazytubepower Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 i am in no means a person who listens to hip hop and have heard that song once to my pain...a holla back girl is when someone says something bad about you...you in turn say bad things about said person.

jdm56 Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 i'm so...confused. i like Nic's definition, and after all, he IS from L.A. but, CTP's definition makes sense, too. now about that bananas thing; exactly what kind of lewd and lascivious behavior is she talking about? assuming she's not just concerned about our potassium levels, that is.

colterphoto1 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 GAWD, we are getting OLD gentlemen! Even I had no idea what this was and I am known for being somewhat cool amoung my contemporaries. I don't remember a girl ever having casually called me just for sex, and now it's a regular thing that they have a term for, that they sing about in public? Of course back when I was twenty, unprotected sex with someone you didn't kill you either. Thanks Nick, we shall live vicariously through your exploits!

Duke Spinner Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 it seems my youth was mis-spent, plying girls with alcohol... a shame i never discoverd ... ...all ya have to do ...is ..Call ...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Crazytubepower is right, also. The term can mean slightly different things depending on the context it's used in. In Stefani's song, however, I'm pretty sure she's referring to the "booty call" slang. It can even be something as simple as meaning a girl that says "wassup" back to you. Innocent enough... I can't believe we're actually having a serious discussion about Gwen Stefani singing "cuz I ain't no hollaback girl, cuz I ain't no hollaback..."

dodger Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Years ago a hollaback girl meant that she could bend over backwards - hollow back girl Bananas are a good source of potassium - if you sweat a lot, you need to replenish. They can be cold, warm or Hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
