for all of you who don't think it's about masturbation consider "Big hands I know you're the one"..... I bought this album when it was released and read in an interview( been too long to remember where) thhat it is definitely a tounge in cheek ode to masturbation.

Hahaha. . That's the most hysterically funny thing I've ever heard... Masturbation?? The funny thing is.. is that it actually fits! hahaha :) It's awesome nonetheless.

my brother told me this song is about masturbation and i still agree with him. "im high as a kite" i think hes refering to his "special purpose" being hard and i think the line about his girlfriend crying means : shes mad at him for some reason and is crying and wont have sex with him so his reaction to no sex is in the line "Let me go on" and do the job with my "big hands" i dont know i could be wrong about everything! and yea i just analyzed this whole song hope everyone enjoys it!:)

It's probably meaning that him and his girlfriend broke up and he has to masturbate instead of having her...?

This song is about masturbation, ie: Body and beats I stain my sheet I don't even know why. And: Big hands I know you're the one... Come on! You can't say you didn't pick that one!

it is about masturbation, it just doesnt "fit".
