      Absolutely. Ill never forget the first time i saw this full length video; my jaw dropped at the concept, the lyrics, the visuals... When the song itself first came out in 2005 i was a teenager whom already loved Gwen from No Doubt and thought this was a catchy song, but hadnt really stopped and listened to the lyrics beyond the chorus. Now that I'm 35, I am even more amazed with her talent as a performer and skills as a writer. Her perspective on "waiting" for inspiration while also running out of time due to being a woman in a youth obsessed culture is SO relatable and creative!! But she takes it to another level with her insightful lyrics combined with the cheeky one liners- like assuring herself with her million dollar contract yet also being a stupid ho.. I LOVE THIS! AND she is beautiful. I LOVE gwen Stefani

      I'd disagree to some extent. All my life I've thought that the segregation of the sexes was weird, and virtually everyone I've met has had similar thoughts.
      The biggest problem is that everyone in the media is acting like we are in the height of the sexism problem, how every man is horrible, we can't possibly get any worse, but totally ignores all the people who are literally right here who agree that sexism is a problem and have the mindset to fix it.
      Now forgive me if I come off as angry, but I am not sexist, so naturally I will challenge any person or party that tries to tell me otherwise.

    • @winnied87
      @winnied87 3 роки тому +1

      I'd say it's even deeper than that. The scenes in the beginning of the video can depict general tiredness, upset, boredom, irritation and cluelessness about ones' capabilities. Basically, a crisis situation. We all can get stuck like that in life. She released this song when she was in her 30s and sometimes midlife crisis does hit earlier. But at some point the bubble bursts and you do what you wanted to because you realise the flow of time.
