I should note that it's "Hey Hey Get Laid Get Fucked!" although "Hey Hey Now Get Laid Get Fucked" works too.

I think this is one of those things like soda/pop/coke that varies by region. (And on a complete tangent, people who call every soft drink beverage "coke" should be kicked in the face.)

That would be me.

I'm sorry sir, but you deserve to be kicked in the fave, Navy or no.

[stephenissocool.livejournal.com]

I concur. And I fucking live in Atlanta. That's a lot of face-kicking.

[thebitterguy]

You're gonna need a pair of kickin' boots.

We call 'em "Shitkickers" here in the South.

Damn poll, not long enough to type in!!!

..swear!

[thebitterguy]

What was your full reply?

Hey everybody, this line is only cool if you are young and not allowed to swear!

Because really, what is the excitement of saying fuck and laid as an adult. I'm sorry, I say one of those words at least everyday, and some worse often. Yesterday morning I started work by yelling "Shit, fuck, piss, ass!" really loudly. It released some tension.

Speaking of which, how is the freezer?

*grin*
That was a fun trip down memory lane!
I try not to swear in comments etc, but hey, I'm just repeating what I remember ;)

[inscrutable.livejournal.com]

What sort of crazy ballsucker town did you grow up in?

[sassy-fae.livejournal.com]

*L*
I grew up in a slightly rural/suburban area just outside Hamilton. Nearly all my friends in highschool were guys, so I blame my bizarre repetoire on them :)

Of course, the actual next line is "Shoot 'em down, turn around, come on Mony" or "Shotgun dead, and a'come on Mony," depending on the verse.

[inscrutable.livejournal.com]

You know it just occured to me that I hav eno idea what that song is actually about.

[jadasc.livejournal.com]

Well, from context, it looks like there's this girl called "Mony" -- maybe Ramona, or something. She's hot enough to reject, or "shoot down," the other guys as she walks past. She gives the singer love, however, and he feels all right -- real good, even.

[thebitterguy]

I say yeah.

[inscrutable.livejournal.com]

Ride your pony.

I learned 'Hey Motherfucker..." at Base Borden, at a dance, when I was 13.
My dad was a dj, and he played our grad dance, and when he played 'Mony, Mony' we all sang the extra lines, and the Vice Principal told dad he was never allowed to play that song again at a school dance.

[thebitterguy]

That's awesome. Did he know about the lines when he played it?

[guttermuffin.livejournal.com]

I have never heard this version that everyone remembers so well -- I feel like I was deprived of part of my childhood. :( Although, I suppose I could have figured it out if I had read the comments first.

Right... *goes back over to the journal of the person she actually knows*

[inscrutable.livejournal.com]

It was never actually recorded. It was however the thing to yell during the pauses, anytime Mony Mony was played at a highschool dance or frat party or what have you.

I have no idea how it started.

[guttermuffin.livejournal.com]

Seriously? I've been in all of those environments... hm, odd.

[anidada.livejournal.com]

That was the point at which I started loathing Billy Idol... :P

[anidada.livejournal.com]

...and FWIW, my answer's the same as yours and easyalchemy's. It's also what everyone said when he played Toronto on the Charmed Life tour. (Free tickets through winning over the radio with Molson Canadian Rocks, and we got fed and beered in advance. Gift horse. *shrug* Concert was awful, for the record.)

It does appear to be what he's saying in the video, too, though without any sound to it.

I was 17. I was one of the DJs for our dance marathon. It was about 11am of day 2 (we had started at 6pm the night before, so we were on hour 17 of 30). We'd played Billy Idol's version of this song repeatedly through the night. With the usual chanting, which was fine. My previous girlfriend was the head wonko for the dance marathon; the girl I was dating was one of the other DJs.

We had no brain left. It was the elementary school hour, where little kids came in and danced with the high schoolers. I put this song on. Never in my LIFE had I seen my ex move so fast.

[thebitterguy]

Beeeyoootiful. Like something out of an epic poem.
