Coin Operated Boy

So Dan sent me this song called Coin Operated Boy by The Dresden Dolls, and I dont really like the cong itself that much, but the concept is brilliant. Here are the Lyrics...

coin operated boy
sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
but i turn him on and he comes to life
automatic joy
that is why i want a coin operated boy

made of plastic and elastic
he is rugged and long-lasting
who could ever ever ask for more
love without complications galore
many shapes and weights to choose from
i will never leave my bedroom
i will never cry at night again
wrap my arms around him and pretend....

coin operated boy
all the other real ones that i destroy
cannot hold a candle to my new boy and i'll
never let him go and i'll never be alone
not with my coin operated boy......

this bridge was written to make you feel smittener
with my sad picture of girl getting bitterer
can you extract me from my plastic fantasy
i didnt think so but im still convinceable
will you persist even after i bet you
a billion dollars that i'll never love you
will you persist even after i kiss you
goodbye for the last time
will you keep on trying to prove it?
i'm dying to lose it...
i want it
i want you
i want a coin operated boy.

and if i had a star to wish on
for my life i cant imagine
any flesh and blood could be his match
i can even take him in the bath

coin operated boy
he may not be real experienced with girls
but i know he feels like a boy should feel
isnt that the point that is why i want a
coin operated boy
with his pretty coin operated voice
saying that he loves me that hes thinking of me
straight and to the point
that is why i want
a coin operated boy.


Now, all possible sexual innuendoes aside, isnt this a brilliant idea? I mean, no more flirting, or trying to impress guys, just go to the store and buy one! Whenever you feel lonely, pop in a coin and voila!

On second thought.

Maybe that wouldnt be such a great idea. Now that I think about it, I would probably get really pissed at it because it most likely doesnt have a voice recognition system in it.

And maybe this is just me, but if it is coin operated, made of plastic, he would prbably not be the best kisser...

Maybe you would blow up because of the liquid and the electricity. That would suck.


In your obituary, She died from an explosion. Explosion was caused by making out with a machine....the electricity shocked her.

Yeah, that would suck.

Why do i have a feeling you missed the whole point of the song?
No, its not about a metaphorical Dildo!!!

Its about quitting dating, stopping the headaches, by just having the "Perfect Guy". Someone who won't hurt you.

I'm not going into it now, but i suggest you listen to more of the songs by these artists.

i agree with the suckage part, but overall i guess it would be a good song?

i think the song person left a metaphorical message without relizing it. so they are a genuis without knowing it
