Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about The Boys Light Up - Remastered 2013. By Songfacts®.

This song is about a prostitute, and apparently a very good one: "She's got 15 ways To lead that boy astray, he thinks he's one and only." In the second verse, it's clear that she uses a vibrator as the men really can't do the job properly to satisfy her needs.

The lyrics stretch the English language a bit: "Dorseted" (found in many incorrect lyrics sheets as "dorsettive"), originates from Dorset Gardens, a hotel in Melbourne's suburb of Croydon. It's used by James Reyne to rhyme with "Corseted," meaning straight-laced, uptight or rigid-minded. From the noun corset.

The song was initially banned from some local radio and TV stations due to its explicit lyrics. Due to other shows broadcasting it, the ban was relaxed.
