Do you guys remember that singer back in the 90’s that came up with all those cracked songs, like “Mr. Personality” and “Don’t want no short d*** man”…
I was conversing with a bunch of friends last night, and one of my friend’s made a comment in reference to one of her songs; that’s how her subject came up.
Anyone have a clue as to where she wound up?
I googled her, but didn’t find anything!
They played that “Don’t want no short dicked man” over and over again when I worked at Best Buy. I couldn’t take it anymore. So I ran over to her place and put the stones to her. That shut her up.
According to the news, she’s apparently been bought by Proctor and Gamble, and her stock has gone up.
What?
I need to get up earlier. I came looking for this thread to say that.
Sigh. Me too.
She also sang that song that went, "You gotta lick it, before we kick it, you gotta get it soft and wet so we can kick it… Before you can stick and move, You gotta grin in the groove… I’m full of freakiness, So give my cat a kiss…
Boom! Ba-da-da-da-da, Baby Work It!"
One of the dirtier songs I’ve ever heard on the radio.
If any of you ever saw “Booty Call” the two Arab guys at the bodega (one of whom was a floater “huntes point, bed-sty, hell’s kitchen I don’t give a F**K. I’m a floater”) They were singing that song when Tommy Davidson and Jammie Foxx came in to buy surran wrap at 1am.
Funny scene
Wasn’t that Roula (sp?) ?
“Lick It” proved to be a surprisingly difficult song to Google, considering how much airplay it got.
I only find it credited to 20 Fingers (two cites). Both cites also list “Short Dick Man” as being a 20 Fingers song. Searching “Gillette” got me nothing- ditto “Roula”.
I went into this blind having never heard the name Gillette*, Roula, or 20 Fingers.
The little that Rolling Stone has to say about 20 Fingers
(No entries exist for either Gillette or Roula)
*yes, I have heard of the *other * Gillette, shave cream and what-not.
“Lick It” --at least the version I’m familiar with–is credited to ‘20 Fingers featuring Gillette.’ (full lyrics at that link)
My impression back when was that she was the frontwoman for 20 Fingers.
Oh, and if you Google 20 Fingers Gillette you get a whole buttload of relevant sites.
I’m guessing that her fifteen minutes are up.
Oh, and by the way…
Awhile back, I remembered seeing her doing some informal interview, and it went something like this:
Interviewer: “Gillette…hmm, that’s an interesting pick. Why did you choose that as your stage name?”
Gillette’s reply: “Because I’m the best a man can get”.
Pfffff…
Maybe she wound up marrying a short dick man.
