      That’s exactly what this song is about, the entire music industry. He’s making the same statement that Prince did, just a few years earlier and with a different bass line.

    *This song is about music execs and different ppl in the industry stroking your ego.. its not about dingalings lol*

  • @user-xq7es2wk1u
    @user-xq7es2wk1u Před 4 měsíci +2

    The song Stroke is about the business of recording and signing of contracts, thus Stroke refers to the pen stroking the contracts.

    It's been well established that the song is about stroking of one's ego, specifically by those in the music business. In fact executives at Capitol Records didn't want him to put it on the album.

    • @timmartin5057
      @timmartin5057 Před rokem +1

      Thank you for the explanation. When I was younger I only listened, now that I'm older I'm hearing it and it really never made sense what it was talking about until I read your post so again thank you.

    Billy Squier is so underrated and the most sampled artist!! "Don't Say No" is a classic album!!! Not a bad song on it. This song is actually about the execs of the music industry. Check out "Lonely is the Night", "My Kinda Lover", "Don't Say No", and "Emotions in Emotion". He's got a lot of great songs!! RIP to an Incredible Drummer! Love and Miss you, Bobby! 🙏❤

    Eminem did a sample of "The Stroke" on Berzerk, which he also did a sample of Beastie Boys and can't remember the others.

    GREAT ONE!!!! Billy Squire was the man; so many hits; “My Kind Of Lover”, “In The Dark”, “Everybody Wants You”. ONE video literally KILLED his career, and he blamed it on the director; “Rock Me Tonight”. It was very feminine with him writhing on satin sheets and what-not; it was the 80’s; you could be Boy George wearing makeup, you could be Prince wearing heels, and you could be a very androgynous David Bowie, but you could not be a “hard” rocker with a feminine video. He was amazing, such a shame he was “canceled”.

    The Em song with "Make like K-Fed and let yourself go" and "The ugly Kardashian" . Rick Rubin is in the video, I love that (and this!) song. Billy is from here in Bawstin, used to see him out and around the club scene when I was an underage rocker chick sneaking in.

    Check out;
    my kind of lover.
    Lonely is the night
    In the dark
    Mine tonight
    Just my humble opinion
    A sidenote: this song used sexual phrasing obviously, but he was insulting the music industry and how they treat musicians.

    This song has nothing to do with his dingy its about getting a break in getting into music read up on it the stroke means he's shaking hands with a music dealer
