Wet Hair Lyrics

She had wet hair
Say what you will
I don't care
I couldn't resist it

These girls are raw
Bikini girl
We need a ride to Bikini Island

We run the gauntlet
Let's get to France
So we can French kiss some French girls

OOOOooo

awsome song, their first album Post-nothing is just out, and was awarded best new music at pitchfork.com. This band will be so hyped up during the summer.

It was their first LP, yes, but they've released two EPs, also. Excuse my overuse of the comma.

Also, I apologize for the double- post. It always happens to me on this site, for some reason.

i read in a review of this album that the lyrics are actually "we want the gauntlet lets get the rent so we can french kiss some french girls"

I hear "We run the gauntlet, must get to France so we can French kiss some French girls"

Not Valid

First listen I thought it was "I got a condom, lets get to France so we can French kiss some French girls"

Not Valid

it is probably

"These girls are raw Bikini kill We need a ride to Bikini Island"

i had to join this website to say no. it's: these girls are all bikini kill / we need a ride to bikini island.

bikini kill is a riot grrl band from the 90s.

if it weren't for the title, i would just keep hearing red hair

and i think i like that better

there's something about redheads

say what you will, i don't care and so forth

I think wet hair is perfect... it implies a sense of wildness and sensuality that red hair does does not

my question is, why does the band never play this song live??

Not Valid

They played this in Oslo a couple of weeks ago. Brian actually told us this: We hardly ever play this songs back home in N. America because it's so hard to sing live and we always fuck up the words.

But over here you probably won't notice it as much as they would do back home. Glad they played it, it's my favourite song of the album.

Not Valid

They performed this one on Fallon, that's what got me addicted. ;)

one guy says "she had red hair", and another says wet hair. I say a redhead in a bikini with wet hair. game on.

Ok I believe it is "these girls are all Bikini Kill. We need a ride to Bikini Island." Bikini Kill being an American hardcore punk band from the 90s known for their radical feminist lyrics. its kinda funny, they want to get away from these really political, feminist girls to get to Bikini Island (a real place btw, in the Marshall Islands) just to have fun; then they want to get to France to French kiss some French girls who are known for being very snobby and hard to get with. women are strange but you can't resist them

Ha, I thought it was "These girls are all that we can eat/We need a ride to bikini island"
