Welcome to the third installment of Getting Dolly Rockered, a series of articles for us Dolly Rocker fans so desperate for new material that we have to think about the old stuff to keep us from insanity. This time around we'll be talking about the almost released single, "Boys Will Be Boys." The single was scheduled for release before the complications with the girls' record label began, and thus the release never meterialized. Which is sad because, I mean, listen to the song!
"Boys Will Be Boys" marks a huge change for the girls. While their previous singles featured fun production and spoken vocals, this song saw the girls in an epic, almost anthemic, production with sung-screamed vocals. The song is lyrically about that "boy in love with his own reflection." The song begins with a crunchy synthesizer beat to which more layers of synths are added as the girls begin the first verse.
"They never listen and they talk too much about stupid stuff, they're so freaking boring," the girls sing in unison in the track's amazing chorus. Their bratty and sassy vocals are complemented perfectly by the song's drastic production, creating an interesting contrast between the two.
"Boys will be boys will be boys will be boys," they all sing in the song's hook. The song's synthesizers and beats all collapse into eachother in the song's chorus creating a pop masterpiece that would have served as a great No. 1 hit for the girls. Sadly, it never came to be released. On the bright side, you can download it above! Enjoy!
