Why does Taco Bell lock their bathrooms?
And, why are they such miniscule restrooms to begin with?

A probing analysis of Gwen Stefaniâ??s â??Hollaback Girlâ??
by GREG STACY
Gwen Stefaniâ??s â??Hollaback Girlâ? is one of the most baffling pieces of music of the modern age. Itâ??s got something to do with cheerleadersâ??that much is clear, judging from the chanting and the marching band thatâ??s honking and tooting in the background. Beyond that, good luck deciphering the songâ??s ambiguities. We were so vexed by the mystery that is â??Hollaback Girlâ? that we have devoted countless hours to its study. Our conclusions are below. The first thing you should know, though, is that Gwen is not singing â??I ainâ??t no Harlem fat girlâ?â??at least, we donâ??t think she is.
Uh huh, this my shit
Gwen is introducing us to her shit.
All the girls stomp your feet like this
This talk of shit and stomping has nothing to do with actually stepping on feces. But what does it mean? From a reading of the later text, we can conclude that the song takes place in the world of high school athletics, and that Gwen is apparently leading the girls in a calisthenics exercise. The â??shit,â? we surmise, is what she calls the exercises sheâ??s teaching the other girls.
A few times Iâ??ve been around that track
So itâ??s not just gonna happen like that
Here, Gwen exhorts the girls to try harder as they jog around the track, reminding them that physical fitness is â??not just gonna happen,â? but must be worked at.
Cause I ainâ??t no hollaback girl
I ainâ??t no hollaback girl
These lines are the most confusing, but their meaning will become clearer later.
Oooh, this my shit, this my shit
Gwen repeats this four more times. She wants to make sure that we are well acquainted with her shit.
I heard that you were talking shit
And you didnâ??t think that I would hear it
Gwen has been the victim of some slanderous high school gossip, and she doesnâ??t appreciate it. Gwen is 35 years old sliding into MILF status at this point, but weâ??ll grant her some poetic license.
People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up
So Iâ??m ready to attack, gonna lead the pack
Gwen is going to round up a â??posseâ? of her girlfriends and retaliate against the person whoâ??s been talking â??smackâ? about her.
Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out
Gwen is going to beat up the person who wronged her, after she completes the cheerleading routine that will inspire the football team to score a touchdown. Gwen has interesting priorities.
Thatâ??s right, put your pom-poms down, getting everybody fired up
It seems the entire cheerleading squad is going to beat up the person who spoke ill of Gwen; they have put down their pom-poms, and they are now â??fired upâ? to exact swift and terrible vengeance on Gwenâ??s behalf.
A few times Iâ??ve been around that track
So itâ??s not just gonna happen like that
Cause I ainâ??t no hollaback girl
I ainâ??t no hollaback girl
Gwen is apparently the captain of the cheerleader squad; she is the girl who â??hollasâ? the chants, not one of the girls who simply â??hollasâ? them back. Given that the squad is preparing to beat somebody up on Gwenâ??s behalf, sheâ??s picked a strange time to remind them that she is their leader and they are her sheep-like followers. Gwen obviously rules her squad with an iron fist.
Oooh, this my shit, this my shit [repeated four times]
Again with the shit.
So thatâ??s right dude, meet me at the bleachers
No principals, no student-teachers
Both of us want to be the winner, but there can only be one
So Iâ??m gonna fight, gonna give it my all
We learn that it was a â??dudeâ? who gossiped about Gwen. She challenges him to a fight at the bleachers. If he imagines it will be a fair, one-on-one fight, he is sadly mistaken. Gwen and her aforementioned â??packâ? will pounce on him like rabid wolves.
Gonna make you fall, gonna sock it to you
Thatâ??s right, Iâ??m the last one standing, another one bites the dust
Gwenâ??s pack of furious cheerleaders leaves the boy a quivering, bloody heap behind the bleachers for the groundskeeper to discover the next day.
A few times Iâ??ve been around that track
So itâ??s not just gonna happen like that
Cause I ainâ??t no hollaback girl
I ainâ??t no hollaback girl
Having completed their ghastly work, Gwenâ??s squad members return to the field and resume their cheerleading activities, as Gwen reminds them once more that she is the boss and they are all her bitches.
Oooh, this my shit, this my shit [repeated four times]
By calling her exercise routines â??shit,â? Gwen is showing us that for all her bravado, the character in this song secretly suffers from profound self-esteem issues. She is a complex antiheroine for an age of changing gender attitudes and expectations.
Let me hear you say, this shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
Here, Gwen steps away from this bloody spectacle for a moment to comment on the madness and ugliness of what weâ??ve just witnessed, and, by extension, the petty rivalries of high school in general. This shit is bananas, Gwen tells us, and we can only agree. And lest we miss the point, she spells it out. And repeats it another three times.
A few times Iâ??ve been around that track
So itâ??s not just gonna happen like that
Cause I ainâ??t no hollaback girl
I ainâ??t no hollaback girl
Back on the field, Gwen is still bullying the squad to carry out her routines. But now we see her in a new light, as the sad, lost creature she truly is.
Oooh, this my shit, this my shit [repeated four times]
As the song fades out, Gwen is left only with her â??shit,â? the mindless exercises that bring her no comfort from the raging emptiness within. As much as she â??hollas,â? no one hears her cries for help.
Why is it than when you shop at a wholesale club-store like Costco, the dental floss still comes in those tiny little containers?

BTW, when did she evolve from the singer of a midly entertaining ska-lite band into a wannabe pop-diva? And with all that $$$ she must have coined don't you think she'd buy herself a pair of tits?
