i was at a critical mass afterparty once and some high school girls were playing guitar and singing a song about a "cute messenger boy." if i recall correctly, one of the lyrics was "i converted my bike to a fixed-gear, so that you'd notice me." but this was in nyc, not sf.

Msngr

like ten or so years ago (god, i'm old) there was a song that got a lot of play that had a line about lusting after a "bike messenger boy." or maybe i was just filling in what i wanted to hear.

from some web site:

San Francisco Bay Guardian, February 16-22, 2005
The Wendy KroysSongs about Lust, Revenge and UFOs (self-released)

Only true lovers of trashy rawk and space-cadet stoner pop could produce such an utterly in-the-garage recording as the Wendy Kroys' Songs about Lust, Revenge, and UFOs. It's a ramshackle, screwy tribute to the pure sounds of the Demolition Doll Rods and Holly Golightly, skewed occasionally along the Spacemen 3-Galaxie 500 axis. The guitars of JoJo Kroy, and Damin Kroy –
(and Kelley!) let's just pretend they're all named Kroy – are genuinely rockin' and oft high-flying; the rhythm section (Carolyn on bass and Kelley on drums, keys) specializes in primitive sex-boogie chugalug. Lyricist and occasional (occasional my butt) drummer Carrie K. embroiders the proceedings with loopy, singsong narratives that are irrepressibly cheerful, blithely perverse, and unapologetically smutty. Case in point is "Garden Gimp," a completely groovy little dollop of Stereolab pop concerned with the celebratory rituals of the bondage and leather communityActually, it's about JoJo threatening to quit programming and become a gardner. When reminded that he can't tolerate sunlight, he offered to where a full-on pulp fiction gimp suite) "My garden gimp he is so cute / In his latex bodysuit / He's my sweet young ball-gagged mute / La-la la." Other charmers include "Dafoe-a-Go-Go," the not-quite-stalker-fangirl love cry; "He's Dead," a vicious recital of calculated romantic vengeance; and "Bike Messenger Boy," a rather bawdy little number about goat-rutting feminine lust for sweaty pedal couriers. The album concludes with 10-minute-plus space-rawk vamps "Sparkle" and "Saucer's Are Go!" Instead of snappy, smarty lyrics, they include awesome solos with reverb and chorus. The Kroys take their name from Linda Fiorentino's vengeance-minded femme fatale in The Last Seduction. According to the band's Web site, their namesake not only gets away with her mayhem but also even escapes the typical fate of movie fatales: a noble and/or fiery death or romantic compromise. Boozy, leering self-actualization never sounded so good. (Josh Wilson)

yeah, i think i've seen them. if it's the same band, they're called "hot dog is my hero" and they have other silly songs. one about them being jailbait, another one is about hipster parties and another song is about drinking irish rose.

it's like 3 girls and one of them play's an accoustic guitar.

that's a pretty sweet song, but it's not the one i heard at the mass afterparty. the one i heard was more angsty and dejected
