New Music We Love With Peaches: “Pussy Mask”

She’s still making sassy, relevant music…PEACHES, the legendary bisexual Canadian musician and performance artist known for her edgy, sexy and highly provocative songs (like “Fuck the Pain Away” her signature hit from 2000’s Teaches of Peaches album) just released a brand new single and video and as usual…

She’s all about that pussy.

And, political statements.

We love her.

The new song is PUSSY MASK and it’s ALL about wearing masks in the Age of Covid but it’s also about PUSSIES (or “vaginas” for those who prefer the formality) and it’s also about the current political scene in the United States so naturally the song (and the accompanying adorable animated video of the song) includes shout outs and appearances by recently deceased Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as well as the very much alive and kicking Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the gutsy, modern young congresswoman from New York. And, no modern popular cult song about Covid-19 wouldn’t be complete without a Very Special Guest Appearance from the one and only immunologist Dr. Anthony Fauci.

All this means the song includes lyrics like this:

Put my pussy in the Senate
Have my pussy as your tenant
Wear my pussy as a pendant
Pussy pussy pandemic
Pussy get credit
Pussy trend on reddit
Pussy don’t sweat it
Pussy want it
Pussy get it

But also:

My pussy wear a mask
My pussy don’t play
My pussy wear a mask
Take cover from the spray
My pussy wear a mask
Drippinʼ droplets all day
My pussy wear a mask
Public hazard, doomsday

It’s a fun song and also a saucy political song so naturally we love it. (Also, it features some ‘Karen’ slapping!) And, the animation is simple but well done (the video was directed by Leah Shore who also did the animation with Rob Yulfo.) And, yes, there are a lot of mask wearing little pussies in the video…you can also buy lots of cool merch with that cute little pussy on it over HERE!
