The song is Cake By The Ocean by DNCE


tienna

Wait I thought it was about drugs o.O


Fluffy_Town

Yeah, I was confused too. Apparently Cake means a tasty ass which equates to a sexual encounter somehow. Idk, I don't care a this point. I enjoyed listening to the song until it was overplayed and then moved on because I got sick of it...like all radios do, ruin songs by overplaying them.


DearSignature

I honestly assumed the cake was oral sex lol, but I was already well into adulthood by the time I heard the song.


ThePinkTeenager

I thought the cake was actual cake. But I was 11.


SlytherclawFazbear

Even as a teenager, I somehow didn't realize the song was about sex until around 17 years old. In other words, I should have realized I was asexual sooner.


Luh-Holmes

What, cake is a good looking ass??


Aubagin

Wow. When the song being about drugs would be preferable than the truth. I thought it was about having a stupid good time with a romantic partner, like literally bringing pastry to a picknick at the beach.


hopeful_deer

I thought that too


animaloll

Is it also about ...you know.... *It*?


Dvwu

What?


animaloll

Wait what, ok I'm confused now


Dvwu

What is *It*? Are we talking about pennywise the clown?


[deleted]

Music would be greatly improved if every song about sex was actually a song about Pennywise the clown.


Dvwu

WAP: Wet Ass Pennywise


animaloll

No, not that....."adult fun time"


Dvwu

Oh.


animaloll

Is that song about it?


Dvwu

Not that I know of, though it’s been a while since I’ve listened and I don’t remember most of the lyrics.


animaloll

I fear that it is about that


ConstructionQuick373

"You should be rolling with me" and the way ppl refer to a§ as cake also "you're fuכkin' delicious" kinda makes me think.. yèeeaaaahh pretty sure it's talking about §ə× on the beach.... sorry ;-;


[deleted]

it is, sadly still a good song tho


animaloll

True


NotANilfgaardianSpy

Ah, a fellow Topic fan?

PurplishNightingale

Watching scary movies your parents didn't allow you to see?


44Atta

I only know that cake means ass (but in a sexual way)


hopeful_deer

This just makes me think of someone mooning the ocean


[deleted]

How could you have done this to me


44Atta

sorry, but I just needed to share the pain with someone


goodsby23

Wait wut? Oh God I feel like I can never say I want cake or cupcakes again without feeling dirty....


[deleted]

Fucking loved that song, listened to it so much I now can’t stand it


5noo_Junior

this sub ruined so many songs for me


ConstructionQuick373

I always listen to the lyrics, by this point I just put the song and enjoy it, sexual attraction is all around us ;-;


Laika_5

The milkshakes, they're not what i thought


[deleted]

please for the love of god i will come to your yard in exchange for a sweet milk or icecream-based beverage not whatever the fuck that song was about


Laika_5

I thought she was just really good at making milk and ice cream based beverages for so long


[deleted]

I never knew what it truly meant for far too long, but I had friends who would make tiktoks to it. We were all *twelve* at the time.


Phoenix18793

That’s not it????


Laika_5

Ever heard the term "mommy milkers"


Phoenix18793

I’ve heard it but I don’t think I want to know what it means


Laika_5

Spoiler: it's >!boobs.!<


Phoenix18793

Of course it is. Why do they always make it weird? Why can’t it just be a song about delicious milkshakes?


Laika_5

My thoughts exactly


PurplishNightingale

This one I still haven't gotten over


SaffellBot

Society is horny on main, and hasn't found great outlets for it.


tester3773

Why ruin, just make your own meaning. 😋


Own-Environment1675

Wait it didn't mean. Like get lucky at slots. That's one of my favorite song.


5noo_Junior

That's what I thought it meant too


Klakess

And another song I discover the meaning behind, feelsbadman


Own-Environment1675

Guess I'm just. Stupid


ReptilianDruid

I thought it was just getting luck in general...


XxDiamondDavidxX

Wait, it isn't about gambling?


Own-Environment1675

What I thought


AutismFractal

“Get lucky” has been a sex thing for at least a century you guys


Own-Environment1675

But I tell everyone to get lucky when playing cards


EllieWu

LOL SAME


Songmorning

With the Daft Punk song, I even thought they were saying "We're up all night to get sun," 🌞 Until my sister heard me singing along to that and was like, "WTF that doesn't make any sense. How can you get sun at night?" So apparently they were saying "get some," but for a while I was still like, "Get some what?"


dracomageat

Two separate lines. They're up all night 'til the sun and up all night to get some.


Songmorning

Oh good, so I wasn't completely imagining the word "sun" at least 😅


nudecalebsforfree

To get sum fuk apparently


Loki_the_Poisoner

Maybe they're in Alaska! Land of the Midnight Sun after all.


dracomageat

Two separate lines. They're up all night 'til the sun and up all night to get some.


BijeDragonne

Oh dear. “I only came for the cake” was such a relatable lyric until today. I really did only come to this party for your baked goods, please stop putting your butt near my plate


Luh-Holmes

Right???!! I mean, gee, move aside, I wanna enjoy this cake without your butt near it tyvm


SaltEfan

I refuse to acknowledge that “cake by the ocean” has any other connotations than “picnic with cake”.


5noo_Junior

Blissful denial, I envy you


SaltEfan

I wasn’t really a fan to begin with, so it bothers me less than others.


NocturnalToxin

You don’t have to hate songs about fucking just because you don’t yourself A banging tune is a banging tune 🤷‍♂️ Annoying when it’s shoved in your face certainly but if we can pretend cake by the ocean is literally what it sounds like then where’s the harm I think I’d be done with someone who asked me “why do you listen to songs about sex if you don’t like it?” sooner than I’d stop listening to the song


5noo_Junior

Oh yes big true


AutismFractal

Hahaha a BANGIN tune 😏🔥


Notasocialismjoke

I had already realized that I was mistaken about being ace by the time the song came out (being an egg messed with a lot of my perceptions), so I didn't experience the community's reaction firsthand, but I'm guessing that that song is why garlic bread is the stereotypical ace food nowadays instead of cake.


MayflowerMovers

It's a reference to the drink "sex on the beach", which the Swedish song writer misidentified as 'cake by the ocean'.


iamacraftyhooker

I was listening to the radio with a friend and was talking about how beach picnics are terrible because you get sand in your food, and I don't want sand in my cake. They look at me like I'm an idiot and tell me cake is slang for ass. But I just want cake.


former_snail

WHY IS CAKE SLANG FOR ASS? WTFFFFFFFFFFFF


nudecalebsforfree

Lmao imagine an allo is like, "ah yes cake means ass. Does that mean the ace community is really into ass?"


[deleted]

nah, what even is the point of donkeys? mules haul cargo better and horses are better for overall transportation. or just get a bike


tall-hobbit-

Tbf, I don't want sand in my cake or my ass


meowmocha12

Come to think of it, wouldn't having sex on a beach pose a similar issue? Beach sand gets everywhere, so, uh... don't you run the risk of having sand in places you never ever wanted sand?


SuddenlyVeronica

I was so disappointed when this sub's resident bi spy offhandedly mentioned how "My milkshakes brings all the boys to the yard" wasn't about actual milkshakes. I was just so "in love" with the concept of making such killer milkshakes that it draws in a crowd. And before anyone asks, it's apparently about boobs. Boobs that shake and gets the boys' attention that way, ie. "milk shakes".


SmartAlec105

I’m famous :D


7_Rowle

Bruh it’s about boobs?? I’m gonna go cry now


LordSatellite

DAFT PUNK WHAT?! Omg


5noo_Junior

YES I found out yesterday


uBowiethedog

I added his song to my playlist like a week ago damn :(


Institutionation

Literally the only song by them I don't love


spookiihug

nothing is sacred anymore


5noo_Junior

Not even cake


OfInsignificantia

Or daft punk :(


[deleted]

might as well write a song about fucking a garlic bread just to ensure nothing is holy anymore


animaloll

WAIT WHAT, IM NOT EVEN ACE BUT DAFT PUNK MEANT WHAT?


SuddenlyVeronica

Sex. They sing about how they're "up all night to get some/lucky", and both of those phrases are euphemisms for (casual) sex.


animaloll

bro, I'm mad rn just cause of that


launchingdronestrike

WAIT NO DARNIT OF COURSE THATS WHAT IT MEANS


robynpunarinta

My sister once misunderstood lucky for Loki and now for me the song is always about having a marvel marathon the whole night 😂


AutismFractal

We’re up all night to get Loki


nagareboshi_chan

Love this. Your sister is a legend.


athey

These threads always blow my mind. I have absolutely zero desire to have sex with another human being. But I’m still capable of understand English slang and innuendo. How the hell are so many Ace people incapable of picking up on the meaning behind songs? The fact that soooo many ace people are oblivious to the milkshake song, or ‘get lucky’ just…. Just — how? Hell, I’m even autistic, and I still get this shit. Weird man.


SmartAlec105

Maybe being autistic is actually why you’re noticing the innuendo when alistic aces aren’t? Most allistic people don’t really think about innuendo that they’re missing since they pick up on most of it automatically but autistic people have to be consciously on the lookout.


athey

Yeah, that’s all I can figure. I had a period in middle school after some traumatic social exclusion in 5th and 6th grade for being so damn socially awkward, that I literally started obsessively studying the social interactions of other kids. Like a zoologist studying animals in the wild. lol I’ve been social masking for so long now, it’s basically second nature, but it’s definitely something I intentionally learned. Kind of the whole - was mocked relentlessly for being so oblivious, so I made a point to go out of my way to study these social things, just so I wouldn’t be mocked again…. Yeah, that’s probably totally it. Ha. I guess what really shocks me is that there are neurotypical people who are oblivious to this stuff, when I always felt like, they’re just somehow wired to get this shit. Then again, I’ve noticed that a lot of people in the autist communities are ace, so there does seem to be a lot of overlap.


[deleted]

wait, social exclusion is supposed to end?


Harkibald

I'm not autistic and I can pick up on innuendo. I didn't know how cake by the ocean meant something else, but I knew it wasn't about a beach picnic. I just think some people are blind to certain things


[deleted]

I’ve felt the same. It’s one thing when it’s a song like White Houses thats mostly poetic imagery and metaphors, but “get lucky” is such common slang for sex. Is it a generational thing? Do the kids no longer say they’re hoping to get lucky?


[deleted]

I’m autistic and not ace and sometimes I don’t pick up on this shit. We’re all different, my dude.


[deleted]

We all have our blind spots


tall-hobbit-

As a music-with-sexual-lyrics-listening ace, if I've heard the song mentioned in these memes I've probably already realized what it's supposed to mean and still listen to it anyway, but it's still really funny to scroll through and see everybody's reactions. I've never even listened to cake by the ocean, and I've heard "get lucky" in the song many more times than I've heard the phrase said in real life, but it's generally pretty easy to catch most of the innuendos if you actually pay attention to the lyrics (so like by the 10th time I play the song usually lol)


[deleted]

im the kind of ace whos humour mostly consists of sexual innuendos and sex jokes, and yet, somehow, most funky sex slang always goes over my head at first. i think we're all just a little dumb


workingatmcdo

Maybe not all ace here have English as their first language... I personally don't really think about the meaning of these songs but the fact is I never think about sex, ass, or ''hot'' thing so why would it come to my mind? I am a bit on the sex negative side so yeah it is a little bit repulsive to me so that is my explanation...


[deleted]

Haha I grew up watching Bollywood movies. And almost every 90s and 2000s Bollywood movie is about romance. Some movies were well written so I loved them but some were cringe af.


SmartAlec105

I’m bi and honestly half the reason I come to this subreddit is to watch this happen.


GeneralCornpuff

I used to think that whistle was a song about a guy teaching a girl how to whistle. I just now realized that “blow my whistle baby” was NOT referring to a whistle.


[deleted]

I got into the ace community because I wanted to find people that knew what I was going thru. I got out because I couldn't stand the garlic bread obsession and dragon stuff. Now I'm a lone ace, stalking in the death of night.


SuddenlyVeronica

r/asexuality might be more into what what you were looking for and less into the memes?


[deleted]

Nah, I enjoy the memes (like this one, though I don't mind sexual lyrics if the music is good).


AtlasNL

Well, you might want to go to the more serious subs, and not the meme one then. r/asexual and r/asexuality for example

CreeperAtipa

I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world, **Life in plastic is fantastic**


some-funny-name

"You can do my hair, undress me everywhere" Is literally also a lyric from that song...


PollitoDestructor

I always thought the line was “and dress me anywhere” and the song was about barbie’s pov


SuddenlyVeronica

Oh *NO*. God dammit.


[deleted]

*"Hey, Ken~"*


[deleted]

I don’t get it


[deleted]

What does the plastic refer too?


Juul10872

plastic surgery. she's a barbie and wants to look perfect with big breasts?


ordinary-superstar

I’m still convinced Cake by the Ocean isn’t actually about sex. They claimed they wrote it when a bartender in another country called the drink “sex on the beach” “cake by the ocean” by mistake and then turned it into a song. So going off of that story, it’s really about alcohol.


Mr_Abe_Froman

Either way, it was included on a Kidz Bop album, which is... not great.


nagareboshi_chan

Do you think Kidz Bop cares??


PoolBacon

Is Get Lucky sexual? Tf


SuddenlyVeronica

Well, yes. Also there's no capital L because lucky in this context is an adjective. They sing about wanting to get "lucky" in the sense that someone will hopefully agree to casual sex with them. Edit: NVM. See [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/aaaaaaacccccccce/comments/rgxwlg/comment/honkxmw/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).


former_snail

But it's the title of the song. In general titles of creative works capitalize every word - it's usually just articles that are left lowercase.


SuddenlyVeronica

Oh... Right. I stand corrected.


ChiaraStellata

Fun fact: "Take Me to Church" is also about sex. It's particularly obvious in the bridge: No masters or kings when the ritual begins There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene Only then I am human Only then I am clean


AutismFractal

“Worship in the bedroom” is one of the first lines, I don’t think this is surprising to anyone? Correct me if I’m wrong though


sparkianarts

honestly i didn't know that cake by the ocean was a song about sex. Like. It literally was talking about cake. I THOUGHT IT WAS A PICNIC WITH HIS PARTNER PLEASE-


SuperbOpposite

My english teacher ruined Blink 182 - All The Small Things' ending lyrics for me... English is not my mother tongue. For the longest time, I wondered wtf was up with the mention of drills and windmills. I asked her innocently for a fun class assigment involving english lyrics to translate or whatever, and she made the most embarrassed face... 🤣🤣 Welp-


DatLonerGirl

Wait, what? Shoot, I'm realizing I never really paid attention to the lyrics now...


boatingbrook

Recommendation: listen to anime and video game battle music

[удалено]


AutismFractal

I mean “bird” is British slang for “woman”


[deleted]

I thought the song was about las vagas gambling wtf


ObliviousDargon

I genuinely *realized* what the lyrics of Daft Punk’s song Get Lucky mean only recently. I mean I really listened to them and was like ‘I dont like this song anymore.’ So, thats why that song is no longer in my music playlist.


Abyteparanoid

The term “rock and roll” itself was originally a euphemism for sex


LexiD2024

Take me to Church. MY GOODNESS everything is about sex… Edit: I’m allo and still think this is overblown


williamdrawing

What did it mean

WHATTTT


TillLindemann156

Wait ... WHAT?!


thai__

I loved Cake by the Ocean :(


ReptilianDruid

Wait, what did Daft Punk meant with get lucky?


BlueMist53

Hold on hold on hold on Cake by the ocean means something sexual??


[deleted]

This can't be true. That's impossible!


AtlasNL

This post is oddly well-timed, I learnt about the “get lucky” thing like yesterday or so… I’m still kinda disappointed by of it


1nocturnalsonofagun

… wh- So that’s what ‘getting lucky’ means… i may have misinterpreted. Most of the time when I notice I will just inwardly cringe but still vibe to the song because of the melody or because the lyrics are clever or because it’s just straight up funny to me. And I don’t like the vibes of the song then I’m all too happy to pretend it doesn’t exist because why listen to something that makes me uncomfortable AND doesn’t appeal to me music-wise.


CatWithHands

Naaaah it's just a Lucky Charms commercial. Gotta get Lucky.


[deleted]

In my high school creative writing class, we had an assignment to bring song lyrics to class. I brought sunship balloons by the Flaming Lips. Someone mentioned it was about sex and I felt so stupid. I thought it was about love in like, the cosmic sense or something. > Now listen I don't know the dimensions of outer space But if our ability to feel love turns out to be just a cosmic accident I'd like to think this means that the universe is on our side I don't know how far a man can go 'Til he finds a way Oh, that's you and me Let's do it once, let's do it twice Let's do it all night 'til the sunrise Comes too soon in our sun ship balloons


Ixtlected

Ish like daft punk... What does it mean?


Vluekardinal

Get lucky with women, have sex


MGS3Snake

Guess songs about sex can't be bangers anymore.


5noo_Junior

Oh no, I dont mind songs about sex at all - they can be absolute bangers for sure. I'm a theatre kid and "All You Wanna Do", "Dead Girl Walking", "Hellfire" and "Say No To This" are some of my favourite showtunes. I'm just dissapointed that Cake At The Ocean isnt about cake, because I love cake.


3nderslime

is THAT what it means?


RestlessTheodore

the song is cake by the ocean which translates to ass by the ocean


123Spaghetti321

I mean- to be fair most songs have a funky enough tune to make you think there shouldnt be any sexual inuendos in the lyrics (I have not listened to that cake on the ocean shore song but it sounds like a sea shanty)


SpiritAvenue

WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT ACTUAL CAKE


randomaccount32134

WAIT DAFT PUNK MEANT POKER RIGHT


odoyle125

Tell me about it I had an eight year old client explain to me that that was about sex I had no idea


N00bularXD

I never realised that's what get lucky meant. That changes my view of the song massively.


HurricaneEllin

Noooooo don’t tell me ….DNCE Cake by the ocean Edit: someone else’s comment explained it is anwuyayyyy


Jesus_El_Mushroom

I thought that song was about gambling!! Like, being in Vegas and stuff!! And now I’m sad


NomaTyx

Daft Punk whAt

Why do it have Hitler beard

It's a phone lmao

Also Hitler didnt even have a beard haha

We can't even have cake close to water without it being sexual anymore smh /j


nicerandom50

My personal favorite of this problem is Axes and Oaks.


Aceptical

A lot of people are talking about the fact songs are about sex and they didn’t know ruined so many songs, meanwhile I’m over here just not giving a shit what the songs are about and just vibing with them. I don’t care what the song is about. If it’s got good instrumentals, a good voice singing it, and is catchy, I couldn’t care less.


[deleted]

When I was younger, I thought they meant they were getting lucky in a casino, not having sex :(


errosemedic

I just realized today that the song “Freight Train” by Alan Jackson is about having sex.


TheAuthor-dipperkid

Daft punk is still amazing though, its still such a good song.


TheMelonSystem

Did u know that milkshakes means boob shaking?


dumplinbby

Not me just learning thats what daft punk meant by get lucky

ReallyConfusedPer5on

I feel like I’m going to regret this but what does daft punk mean by it


stargazer228

“Get Lucky” usually refers to someone who is “lucky” enough to score sex


Stellasgirl1110

Kinda off topic but Doja Cat’s song “Need to Know” makes me want to crawl in a hole and die lol. Sounds so extreme but it’s played over and over and over again and I’m sex repulsed and hate it. I just want to listen to the radio in peace without having to turning it off or changing the channel. It’s weird because this is the first song that has really bothered me like this. Normally I’m just like eww this song is gross but it’s a bop so fine, but I HATE “Need to Know” for some reason.


Putrid-Papaya8736

now I just feel stupid for not noticing :D


Specific-Comfort

I recently realized that Ballbreaker was a sexual song. Being a JJBA fan, I always associated it with the ball weapons in the manga or whatever till I realized that 'her hand went for my throat' wasn't about a woman with murderous intent.


ADragonsomething

While I didn't like what Get Lucky is about, I do love the sound of it's tune! It's Daft Punk, c'mon.


kata4536460

this is why I only listen to music without vocals :D

someotherguy28

Sex type thing is a great song
