Unskinny Bop
Poison · Double Dose: Ultimate Hits [2011]
Why can't you sit still yeah
Like gasoline you wanna pump me
And leave me when you get your fill yeah
PRE-CHORUS:
Everytime I touch you and you get hot
I wanna make love, you never stop
Come up for air you pull me to the floor
What's been going on in that head of yours
CHORUS:
Unskinny Bop
Just blows me away
Unskinny Bop, bop
All night and day
Unskinny Bop, bop, bop, bop
She just love to play
Unskinny Bop nothin' more to say
You look at me so funny
Love bite got you acting oh so strange
You got too many bees in your honey
And I'm just another word in your page yeah, yeah
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
You're saying my love won't do ya
But that ain't love written on your face
Well honey I can see right thru ya
Well whose riding who at the end of the race
SOLO
What's right, what's wrong, what's left, what the hell is going on
CHORUS
Unskinny Bop
Poison's "Unskinny Bop" stands as a quintessential example of their signature blend of glam metal and new wave, capturing the band's early 1990s energy. The track features the band's characteristic blend of catchy hooks and polished production, delivered by frontman Bret Michaels. While often associated with their 1991 self-titled debut, the song has been widely reissued on various compilation albums, including the 2011 "Double Dose: Ultimate Hits" collection. Its enduring appeal lies in its infectious rhythm and the band's ability to craft anthems that defined the era of hair metal. The recording showcases the group's dynamic interplay between rock instrumentation and melodic sensibilities, cementing their place in the history of 90s alternative rock.
