Hey Jamel! Did your wife kick your ass to the curb? Is that why you're doing this in the 🚗 car? LOL 😂😂. Great reaction to this! You're right, this video by Billy is strange. So many ways to interpret this! I actually thought this was about his little sister..... Hey little sister shotgun. Shotgun wedding because she be in the family way and Billy was mad about it! Anyway, thanks for your reaction ... You're so entertaining, funny and welcome at my house anytime you're wife kicks you out again! ROTFLOL 😂🤣. LOVE AND PEACE TO YOU! (Hope she'll let you in before dark! By the way, where are you at in a sweatshirt? It's hotter than blue blazes here in FLORIDA!). 😂☮️👏👏

Billy did an interview where he was asked about the meaning of the song, because of the rumors of its possible drug reference, 'White Wedding' being cocaine. Billy said the song was written for his little sister when she was getting married. His inspiration was because of his feeling that he was losing the position of 'Protector' and she had someone new she wanted to watch over her and keep her safe. Thus the line, "Who's your Superman". Everyone for decades have looked for a hidden meaning to this song, but it's pretty straight forward.
@SweetThing 3 жыл бұрын
Despite rumors to the contrary, this song is not about Idol's actual little sister. "Little sister" is slang for girlfriend. He is singing about a woman/girl he loves marrying someone else while he still loves her. Idol did have a sister who was getting married, but on an episode of VH1 Storytellers, he explained that his sister's wedding simply gave him the idea for the song. Like many of Idol's compositions, he started with the title and wrote the song from there. >>

Personally, I could care less why Billy wrote the song, or what was his influence. All that matters to me is that it is a great song and I appreciate his talent. Billy came in on the music scene causing people to do a double-take look at him, and their eyes never drifted away. I was in my early 20's then and I am in my early 60's now and I still get lost in his music when I listen to it today. Big thanks to Billy for keeping the blood pumping all these years! He is a one of a kind.

The "shotgun" in the song is actually a reference to the term, "shotgun wedding," i.e. a wedding done in haste because the girl got pregnant. The shotgun is metaphorical (in most cases), and it isn't aimed at the girl, it's aimed at the guy.
@ubermac85 3 жыл бұрын
Shotgun weddings were a real thing with actual shotguns. If a girl got pregnant, her family would literally hold the guy at gun point and force him to marry her. While it’s metaphorical these days, it was a literal thing back in the day.

On VH1 Storytellers, Billy said the song is about a girl he loves marrying someone else. His actual sister was getting married around this time and that only gave him the idea for writing this song. At the time, this video sparked a bit of controversy with the Nazi salutes at the wedding. The forced ring cutting the girl's finger was also considered a bit of a shock. (I miss the old MTV)

I wouldn't overthink it for story. Sometimes one song can come together from many influences and the singer may be third person narrator. Videos don't always follow a logical or complte storyline, but sometimes present related images just for artistic effect. A shotgun wedding generally pertains to an unwed pregnancy and the family forcing the marriage. Supposedly Billy had the idea for the song when his sister was getting married though it was not a shotgun wedding.

It's really good because it reflects the actual punk rock scene of the late 70's and 80's which I participated in, in NYC. I've never asked you to react to a song but thinking of his show reminds me of the song RISE bt Public Image Limited or PIL which is Johnny Lydon's band after the Sex Pistols, and PIL is still a band 40 years later. Rise addressed Apartheid in South Africa.

His younger sister got pregnant and then married the guy. Billy wrote this song in to order to express his doubts about the marriage. Fun fact: Although Billy is British, his sister was born on Long Island in NY State because Billy's family had moved to NY for his dad's job. Billy lived in NY for 4 years or so in the late 50s to early 60s. The woman playing the bride in the video is Bill's girlfriend at the time: Perri Lister.

Song was about his sister. He said in an interview the girl in video was his girlfriend, but the sound was about his sister

As a teenager if the 80s, I can tell you EVERY gal 12-32 (maybe even MORE) were completely enamoured of Billy Idol. He was (and STILL IS) so damned HOT!

You need to take a listen to Billy when he was with Generation X, BTW keep up the reactions I look forward to them.

Back the 80s MTV was the place to go to in order to have your music get out to the public. Not a Billy Idol fan but this does kick butt!

Dwight Yoakum has a song about Little Sister, but it's about dating the younger sister of a girl who broke your heart.
