To what does this refer?

[Greenaway]

Are you talking about that Kate Bush song called "Wow"? Or the one performed by Golden & Miss Kittin. It's called "Rippin'Kittin.

[BorderEevilIII]

There is also one by Stone Temple Pilots on the Purple album...

We'll tell you when you're older, Bubba.

[The Postmaster General]

He'll never make the screen
He'll never make "The Sweeney"
Be that movie queen
He's too busy hitting the vaseline

Ooh yeah you're amazing
We think you are really cool
We'd give you a part my love
But you'd have to play the fool


the one performed by Golden & Miss Kittin. It's called "Rippin'Kittin.


"Rippin Kittin" doesn't have that line in it. These are the lyrics for that really, really, really awesome song:

Mommy, can I go out and kill tonight?
I feel, I feel like taking a life.
Please, I wanna seal the kitchen knife
and feel, feel like taking a life.

Rippin kittin kidding on the round (x2)

Daddy, can I go and haunt tonight
like you do on Sunday mornings.
Honey, give me a real gentle knife
to feel, feel like taking my life.

Rippin kittin kidding on the round (x4)

Mommy, can I go out and kill tonight?
I feel, I feel like taking a life.
Please, I wanna seal the kitchen knife
and feel, feel like taking a life.

Rippin kittin kidding on the round (x4)

Mommy, daddy, please let me go (x2)

Are you talking about the song "Vasoline"? -- It is a different line in that song. I'm pretty sure that one is about heroin. I think all his songs are. hehe. Interesting trivia - the spelled the song with an "o" to avoid copyright infringement. ;)

Wait much longer and I might be too senile to remember who sung what about the where now. :D

Now, I might me misunderstanding this, but as far as I know it pretty much just means jacking off...But I haven't heard the songs.....So....yeah...

Yeah, I just assumed it was a euphemism for masterbation...dunno if that really makes sense in the context of the song...

[The Postmaster General]

My initial thought was masturbation as well, but like Badberry said....

I know there has to be some Kate Bush fans around here.

[The Postmaster General]

As for hitting the vaseline,Kate has said herself that it is referring to homosexuality,not that she's against it,just commemting that there are a lot in show business.

Hey Bubba I edited your post in error...oopsie what a silly mistake-a to make-a. I don't think I erased anything important mind you.

Anyway, the song is referring to gay sex for sure...but it seems like you found that out already.

I don't think people in the UK generally use Vaseline as a masturbatory aid but I might be wrong.
