Listening to Backdoor Man
by Howlin' Wolf, 1960
Sample lyrics:
“
I eats more chicken than any man seen
I am a backdoor man
”
Sarah: I don't even know if eating chicken is really a reference to pussy. I'm just working by the rule of thumb that any reference to food in a blues song is sexual. I hope it's real, because I really like it!
Galen: It is awesome, but that's not a very big reference.
Sarah: True. The song is mostly about adultery, but he focusses on satisfying his women, which is kind of fun.
Listening to Diddle My Skittle
by Peaches, 2002
Sample lyrics:
“
Come diddle my skittle
'Cause there's only one peach with the hole in the middle
”
Galen: Huh.
Sarah: You look so oppressed right now.
Galen: Yeah it's a more definite reference, but it's a dumb song.
Rebecca: Yeah, it's dumb.
Sarah: That was a bit of a party stopper.
Rebecca: Ah, some people really like Peaches. For me, I'd rather listen to Salt 'n' Pepper. It's true that every Peaches song sounds like “Push It.”
Galen: Howlin' Wolf wins.
Rebecca: Can I say I don't want to vote for either of them?
Sarah: You have duties, judge. Who loses the most?
Rebecca: I'd say Peaches. So Howlin' Wolf wins.
Sarah: It's ok. You can eliminate him in the next round.
Winner: Backdoor Man
