While my son gave me the idea, I hope that everyone reads the lyrics as more-or-less consensual between a man and a woman.

I wouldn't say that it is about rape and sex, though, but more likely about foreplay or teasing and playing hard to get at same time :) BTW Brian, I like the expected question: "Mom, what's platonic mean?" :) Well, I must say that only now I realized that the inspiration for the lyrics came from a play with a little boy :) I was sure it came from a relationship issue between a man and a woman.

I suppose it's best left to the listener's interpretation. It totally works on the cute and playful level, which the music completely reinforces, and then there's the deeper level of personal boundaries and vulnerability. I agree!

Because otherwise it came accross as creepy. Yes, I think it's best not to share the inspiration there. :) Mixing the father/son and sex/rape is very disturbing...Monty OK, good.

I wonder if people will detect that more readily if they don't know the inspiration behind the song. As for Radio Disney, I wish! "Mom, what's platonic mean?"Thanks for checking it out Monty!
