After years of mystery and confusion, Sisqo has finally cleared up the meaning of his lyrics in 1999’s “Thong Song.” The line “she had dumps like a truck” is apparently in fact about butts, and not really large dumps:
That would mean I was some kind of fecal freak… What I was really referring to was — a dump truck when it backs up, it’s like, ‘beep, beep beep.’ So, ‘she had dumps like a dump truck’ is, like, when girls do a booty dance move and they look back at their butt. She’s like a dump truck back-back-backing it up.
Kind of a bizarre picture to paint, but who are we to question a line in an ode to women’s underwear?
