  Song Meaning:I think this song is about being who you are or being a cross dresser

  General Comment:"G.I. Joe in panty hose" is actually a reference to former American Football star, Joe Namath, who modeled for ads in panty hose. G.I. Joe was a nickname given to Namath in his first season in the NFL.

  And by the way, this site is called "SongMeanings," not "TalkAboutHowGoodThisSongIs"

  General Comment:Haha :) I was just about to ask if this is about himself, but a lot of you seem to think it is. This song is so hilarious... I've heard it like a million times and it still makes me laugh. I think it's cute when boys dress like girls...

  General Comment:wow...one of their most amazing songs ever!!!!! i'm completely in love with it. and, it's obviously about billie's differences. in other words, the ways he has cross dressed. but, we all know we want to see billie as a cross dresser. he's so damn sexy. hehe.

  General Comment:awesome! it was cool to hear a ska song on Nimrod. I am a big fan of Sublime (hence my username) and it's cool that my other favourite band did a ska song. whoo! One of the best things about Nimrod is that the songs are more experimental, sound a bit more varied than in dookie.
