Big Girls Are Best

[Habib]

This has been bugging me lately....

Is this song, or does it have some how can i put it....paedophilic content ?

In one verse Bono goes ' those little girls are the best, big girls are the best'?

IS he just referring to women over a certain age and how they come in different shapes & sizes or is he talking about something else ?


Also 'Im not your baby ( skysplitter dub )' is an interesting instrumental. I remembering hearing it back in 1997 and thinking this is what Pop should 've sounded like..


Anyway how's you all doing ?

 

[The Disciple]

I think he says "Little girls are a pest, big girls are the best."

 

[BVS]

I think it's about a pregnant Ali...

 

[pgv]

When he says little girls, I don't think hes referring to young girls I think he means thin women?

Doesn't he refer to the supermodels as the Big Girls? I think he's mentioned it a few times.

Not sure about that...but I'd just like to second everything said above you.

 

[Habib]

I think he says "Little girls are a pest, big girls are the best."

Just heard it again and you're right he does say this. Disguised as a murmur a mumble even though. This is what caused my misinterpretation.

On another note, I put it to you that Vertigo Discotheque (20.9.05) is without doubt the best version of discotheque from all the tours they've played.

Bono has been quoted before as saying that he and Ali refer to their daughters as "big girls."
