Song Meaning of “Your Girlfriend Sucks” by Reel Big Fish
This cheeky tune by ska-punk band Reel Big Fish is a playful jab at your average territorial and jealous love rival. Singer Aaron Barrett takes a farcical approach to the classic ‘boyfriend vs. boyfriend’ trope that has been explored throughout the ages, poking fun at the owner of the ‘evil eye’ for feeling so threatened by a simple gesture of affection directed at their man. With a driving bass line, unforgettable horns, and a charmingly mischievous vocal delivery, this song questions why anyone would feel so threatened by a sort of appreciation and admiration coming from someone wholly separate from the relationship. The ultimate message here is that relationships should be based in hope and trust – not paranoia and possessiveness.
