And it's always been the case. I was singing Afternoon Delight before the age of 8 and many other songs with lyrics that I didn't understand or think about.
Yes, more Christina! What a Girl Wants and Come on Over next. All these 90s and early 00s songs had sexual undertones. Today's music is just explicit for no reason lol
When she says "rub me the right way" she doesn't literally mean to rub her down there the right way. It's kinda like that saying, "that dude rubbed me wrong." She simply means for the guy to get on her good side...treat her right...and theyll be together...emotionally AND physically.
I think that's basically the way Christina would've justified it back then, yeah. Like, for example, Britney also said "I'm a Slave 4 U" was about being a slave to the music and, sure, for some, it might mean that, but the song and the beat and everything tell something else. And I think that's the same here. Christina could've even meant it that way, but because of how the lyrics are structured and honestly, also because of the music video and everything, it wouldn't be a far stretch to say they had the other meaning in mind when writing this song.
It has several meanings really. Also a third, rubbing the lamp the genie comes out of. It’s really cool how the song has layers to it, even though it’s a pop record.
For the last 20 years, I thought she said hormones, but when he said that, I had to look it up to see if I was wrong. Turns out, we are right, it's hormones.
The song is about making an emotional connection so they can make a physical connection. So, yeah. It's about sex. She wants to get her freak on but she doesn't want to give it away for nothing.
I was 11 when this came out and was a HUGE Christina fan haha I dont think most of us at that age really understood most of the songs we were singing to.
He is completely clueless. Why she all in the sand and all that oh, well there's a chance that there's a reason for it and by golly there is a reason for it. I mean I think a lot of people know where Genie was found in the bottle on the beach waiting for someone to come along and set her free so she could come out and do her thing with her knight in shining armor. I don't even like that song but I get it.
..I'm 49yrs old, married 24yrs...yep...I'm a Genie in a bottle. My hubby became disabled so sex is not a possibility anymore. Going on 11yrs... Love..real love is worth the sacrifice❤ Nothing but love to you and your fans (I'm a big fan BTW)
Sending love to you and I’m glad you are loving your husband through it❤️🤗I’m disabled and this is a huge convo in the disability community of course. So many people leave so it’s amazing when we have people who truly love and care about us. Wishing you the best!!
I was 14 when it came out, and I already understood it meant desire to be with someone, but your gut and heart hadn't felt like it was a good idea. People rub ya the wrong way, you leave. Bad vibes are often correct. She's smartly waiting for someone to give off good vibes and "rub her the right way." 20+ years later, my interpretation hasn't really changed.
"Genie In A Bottle", "Want A Girl Wants" and "Reflection" are the top three songs my mom and me still sing together during our shopping trips, every since time. I think since I was 6 or 7. XD Not gonna lie, "Reflection" still makes us cry.
BAWAHAHA!!😅🤣..My hand went STRAIGHT UP! when you asked,the question!!😉🤣...Dammit! I was "jammin" to this,when my boys were little(one's a Major,in The Marines,now!)..and sweetheart,I'm 55!!😮🤭😏😆🤣
The way he got to "is she talking about sex?!!!" Was the funniest shit ever lol just think, we all used to roller blade for hours with this playing in the background
My 10 year old self would sing along to this song without even thinking what the lyrics meant, I didn't even care what they meant at the time, it was just a catchy pop tune.
Try 57 years old. But when I was a teen and a virgin was waiting for Mr. Forever. You know how you guys are, lol. This was Christina's first release straight out of the Mickey Mouse Club and in competition with Brittany Spears. Christina has proven herself since as one of the top female vocalists of our time.
This song was a #1 Summer 1999 and she was born Dec 1980..so she was 18 years old ☺️but lets say something...this song makes some reference do The Genie from Aladdin and rubbing the lamp and The songwriters of this song were smart enough to play with too ideias...Works for kids..teens and adults
I was 8 years old, summer 1999. I loved her so much. Singing this at top of my lungs. No idea what I was singing. Apparently nobody else did either 🤣 to be young and naive again.
i was 9 years old when this song came out and this was my jam lol and it came out in 1999 and Christina was 17 when she made this song lol and i feel like im a genie in a bottle lol
I actually sang this song at an audition for a play in high school called "NTV - Normandy TV" (my school's version of MTV). Students were going to perform hit songs from all the generations; I was SO NERVOUS because I had to sing this in front of my crush - I was staring at the floor the whole time lmao.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I still yell at my mom for letting me sing this at the top of my lungs when I was a kid and her response is “well you didn’t know what it meant.” 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I was six when this came out. I'm the youngest of four kids. My middle sister was in high school when this song came out and I was always trying to follow her and her friends around. I remember being confused by this song and not understanding it. Years later I figured it out. Lol
I was 6 when this song was released. At that age I didn’t know what it was talking about. As I grew up and started listening to these songs again I knew exactly what they were talking about. She was 19 when she released this song
He would know what they were talking about also if he would just listen. Same thing happened day before yesterday with one that he did he completely missed yeah, he was so busy tearing it up it just went right over his head all he cared about was music and music really had nothing to do with the song as far as any great importance went.
I was 7 when it came out..and I would sing my little heart out to this song..once I got older I figured out what it was about I had to have a serious conversation with my mom about why did she let her 7 year old and 5 year old sing along to this song😂🤦🏻♀️
Ha! Seriously, though! I was a metal girl in my teen years, so my kids grew up on it. One day when my very small boys were in the back seat of my car singing, “she’s my cherry pie”, I thought what are you letting your kids listen to? 🥴😂
That dude was probably like in what the third or fourth grade Maybe? I mean obviously I couldn't have been that bad because it was like the biggest song in the country and far beyond I'm sure.
Yeah I mean wasn't we Rocking The Boy George and David Bowie at the time? Paula Abdul. There was all kinds of girl groups white and black that had all kinds of goofy songs.
I remember the first time hearing this song again as an adult and I pretty much had the same reaction. LOL! I loved this as a kid and I had no idea the song is so raunchy. The "come, come, come on and let me out" part had me shaking my head the most. I couldn't believe she was lowkey singing about climax on that part. LOL!
We listened to this song as kids and our parents let us. Lol the songs we listened to as kids were talking stuff we shouldn’t have been thinking or even singing about.
she was 19 at this time, and like...you say like there is no worse letters that hers these days hahahaha you should react to "what a girl wants" and "come on over baby"
I was like between 7-12 years old when i heard this and had no idea what it meant until i was like 25. Mindblown but it is still one of my favorite nostalgic songs. By listen to it, gives me nostalgic memories
I was 10 years old when this song came out (the summer between 7th grade and 8th grade). I turned 11 at the start of 8th grade. I still sing this song and I'm 32 now.
Been waiting for you to react to this when it frist came out i was too innocent to know what i was singing about and didn't realise until i heared it again much later.
Ha, I'm 35 now...but there are so many songs I really had no business singing .... like "What's your fantasy" by Ludacris hahahaha omg so many great memories!
Watch the genie in a bottle show and you’ll see what she’s talking about. There was a show called “ I Dream Of Jeannie” where this military man finds a bottle and inside lived Jeannie and when he’d rub it the right way Jeannie would come. He was her Master but eventually he did fall in love with her and they got married and eventually had a son.
I have to say Billy with all the craziness we got going on in the world one of my favorite things to do is watch your videos especially when it’s going to be about a song or something you don’t realize because you are hilarious you make me laugh so hard I can’t breathe I love doing that keep it up keep being you thank you
The reaction when he realizes the music they are promoting to kids is priceless. lol
And it's always been the case. I was singing Afternoon Delight before the age of 8 and many other songs with lyrics that I didn't understand or think about.
Here's a millenial band you haven't done yet- 98° "I do"
It was priceless for sure
When I was little I used to sing "Candy Shop" all around the house.
Lol - but the thing is it still wasn't so in your face like today. These days is just about sex and not really any talent
Yes, more Christina! What a Girl Wants and Come on Over next. All these 90s and early 00s songs had sexual undertones. Today's music is just explicit for no reason lol
It's always so fun to see you get discombobulated when you realize what a song from your childhood is *really* about.
Yep. I'm 48 years old. There is this song called "Afternoon Delight". Real eye opener when I became an adult...lol
When she says "rub me the right way" she doesn't literally mean to rub her down there the right way. It's kinda like that saying, "that dude rubbed me wrong." She simply means for the guy to get on her good side...treat her right...and theyll be together...emotionally AND physically.
Double entendre
Maybe that would be the case if the chorus didn't end with "Come, come, come on and let me out".
Avocado11, personally I think it still fits, despite the ending. We're all welcome to our opinions and I respect yours.😜
I think that's basically the way Christina would've justified it back then, yeah. Like, for example, Britney also said "I'm a Slave 4 U" was about being a slave to the music and, sure, for some, it might mean that, but the song and the beat and everything tell something else.

It has several meanings really. Also a third, rubbing the lamp the genie comes out of. It’s really cool how the song has layers to it, even though it’s a pop record.
Actually is ‘’hormones racing at the speed of light but that don’t mean is gotta be tonight’’ 🙈😂
lol, even worse than what he thought lol
Oh my ur the worse now I can't hear the words now
Yep I was just about to correct him lol.
For the last 20 years, I thought she said hormones, but when he said that, I had to look it up to see if I was wrong. Turns out, we are right, it's hormones.
I remember being a 17 year old girl, and hormones racing was accurate.
the channel should reallly be called Billy meets world.
Or Billy needs to learn what a metaphor is.
The song is about making an emotional connection so they can make a physical connection.
So, yeah. It's about sex.
She wants to get her freak on but she doesn't want to give it away for nothing.
I don’t think I’ve seen this much pearl clutching at one time in my life 😂
She was 19 when this came out. But yes Billy we all were 13-14 and singing this at the top of our lungs
18
I was 7..
Still singing it lol
I was 2! Songs of this area literally mean the world to me. Love Britney, Christina, and NSYNC! ❤️
18.
You know what I miss from the 90s and was too young to appreciate when we had them? Midriff bearing shirts.
I was 11 when this came out and was a HUGE Christina fan haha I dont think most of us at that age really understood most of the songs we were singing to.
I was 5 around the time this came out. I still enjoy it to this day
That’s why Disney redid this song and made it PG for dove Cameron to sing it lol
Weren't you singing about a public affair?
He is completely clueless. Why she all in the sand and all that oh, well there's a chance that there's a reason for it and by golly there is a reason for it. I mean I think a lot of people know where Genie was found in the bottle on the beach waiting for someone to come along and set her free so she could come out and do her thing with her knight in shining armor. I don't even like that song but I get it.
@@garychurch938.good 1st name.. that's good u get it although my first name is Gary also
Y'all she became 19 on December of 1999 and the song came out on June 1999, so she was 18!.
I was old enough to know what she was talking about...lol... and Notice how modestly dressed she is compared to what they wear today.
The whole lead up to, "Is she taking about sex?!" took me OUT 😂😂
Lmao it took him a while to get it 🤣🤣🤣
..I'm 49yrs old, married 24yrs...yep...I'm a Genie in a bottle. My hubby became disabled so sex is not a possibility anymore. Going on 11yrs...
Love..real love is worth the sacrifice❤
Nothing but love to you and your fans (I'm a big fan BTW)
Sending love to you and I’m glad you are loving your husband through it❤️🤗I’m disabled and this is a huge convo in the disability community of course. So many people leave so it’s amazing when we have people who truly love and care about us. Wishing you the best!!
🙏🏼💚
@@nikkis7375 ❤🙏❤thank you for your kind words.
I don't why so many people say she was 19 in this video, she was 18. Genie in a Bottle was released in June 1999 and she was born December 1980.
Yah but it ain’t the biggest deal lol
Christina Aguilera was 18 years old when this music video came out I believe this song came out between 1997-1998
I was 8...and yes, I understood it. Lol and yes, I still sang it.
I was 8 TOO lol..
Hearing these songs now is mind-blowing when you pay attention to lyrics lol
Summer of '99 was lit with the bops!
Miss the 90s
I was in my twenties when this came out and let me tell you the girls were rocking it on the dance floor
You should react to Lady Marmalade with Mya, Pink, Lil Kim and Christina Aguilera
yassss
Preach
YESSSSSS
Maybe he should react to that song Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls that was really deep too.
@@garychurch938 You are so funny! HAHAHAHA! the title is “Waterfalls” by TLC
I was 14 when it came out, and I already understood it meant desire to be with someone, but your gut and heart hadn't felt like it was a good idea. People rub ya the wrong way, you leave. Bad vibes are often correct. She's smartly waiting for someone to give off good vibes and "rub her the right way." 20+ years later, my interpretation hasn't really changed.

She was 19 here. I’m 38 and Christina is now 40. I was 17 when this song came out
She was 17 years old.
I got you both beat... I was 27...lol
She was 18.
This was released in 1999. She had turned 18 about 6 months prior.
Billy realizing what songs are actually about kills me
Released in 1999. Awesome song. Priceless reaction. I was 24 when this song came out. Imma a Genie in a bottle.
BAWAHAHA!!😅🤣..My hand went STRAIGHT UP! when you asked,the question!!😉🤣...Dammit! I was "jammin" to this,when my boys were little(one's a Major,in The Marines,now!)..and sweetheart,I'm 55!!😮🤭😏😆🤣
When I tell you ALL of these lyrics went all the way over my head as a child! 😳🤯
👁️👄👁️. I was probably 7
There is a version that says "you gotta treat me the right way" I think to play on Disney Radio maybe
The way he got to "is she talking about sex?!!!" Was the funniest shit ever lol just think, we all used to roller blade for hours with this playing in the background
My 10 year old self would sing along to this song without even thinking what the lyrics meant, I didn't even care what they meant at the time, it was just a catchy pop tune.

😂😂 I feel the same. I didn't know what I was singing 😆
so many guys were huge Christina fans, even if they disliked her music they were still huge fans.
react to Christina Aguilera’s official Music video of “Dirrty” featuring Redman this is an amazing song thanks!
I was 8 years old, summer 1999. I loved her so much. Singing this at top of my lungs. No idea what I was singing. Apparently nobody else did either 🤣 to be young and naive again.
She was 18 at the time (recorded in February 1999 and released in June of the same year)
i was 9 years old when this song came out and this was my jam lol and it came out in 1999 and Christina was 17 when she made this song lol and i feel like im a genie in a bottle lol
I was let out of the bottle 34 years ago!
Yesss Billy this came out in 1999 I was six years old 😂 we had no business singing this lmao
1999 she was about 17\18 years when Christina Aguilera released her breakout hit. a former mouseketeers too
I actually sang this song at an audition for a play in high school called "NTV - Normandy TV" (my school's version of MTV). Students were going to perform hit songs from all the generations; I was SO NERVOUS because I had to sing this in front of my crush - I was staring at the floor the whole time lmao.
I was in my 20's when this came out. I knew!
I was in college...I remember hearing it as I was driving to school one day.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I still yell at my mom for letting me sing this at the top of my lungs when I was a kid and her response is “well you didn’t know what it meant.” 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I was six when this came out. I'm the youngest of four kids. My middle sister was in high school when this song came out and I was always trying to follow her and her friends around. I remember being confused by this song and not understanding it. Years later I figured it out. Lol
I was in 5th or 6th grade with this came out. Love Christina. Please do more. Her range is amazing.
This and her other song, Reflection, from Mulan, were big time popular.
I was 6 when this song was released. At that age I didn’t know what it was talking about. As I grew up and started listening to these songs again I knew exactly what they were talking about. She was 19 when she released this song
He would know what they were talking about also if he would just listen.

Nope, 18.
At the time Britney Spears and Christina broke out they were teenagers, they were on the Mickey Mouse Club together W Justin Timberlake also.
Christina was almost 19 yrs old when she did this. This was the summer of 1999, and she was born Dec. 1980. So....she was a legal adult. Lol.
i don't care how old this is it is still a hit and i listen to this album all the time
This came out my Freshman year of HS. I remember jamming to it in my swimming pool that summer. This song is a sexy bop!
" was she singing about the sex?!" 🤣🤣🤣 dead
I was 7 when it came out..and I would sing my little heart out to this song..once I got older I figured out what it was about I had to have a serious conversation with my mom about why did she let her 7 year old and 5 year old sing along to this song😂🤦🏻♀️
I don’t think it matters the decade. We all have songs that we sung as kids that are questionable.
Ha! Seriously, though! I was a metal girl in my teen years, so my kids grew up on it. One day when my very small boys were in the back seat of my car singing, “she’s my cherry pie”, I thought what are you letting your kids listen to? 🥴😂

@@garychurch938 yeah, but a lot of their songs didn't talk about sex either
I'm definitely a genie in a bottle during this covid and shout out for reacting to christina, she is an icon!
I remember the first time hearing this song again as an adult and I pretty much had the same reaction. LOL! I loved this as a kid and I had no idea the song is so raunchy. The "come, come, come on and let me out" part had me shaking my head the most. I couldn't believe she was lowkey singing about climax on that part. LOL!
You killed me man
I was 9 when this came out and it wasn’t until way way later I realized what the song was about
Laughed so hard at this! Thanks for the joy during a rough week.
We listened to this song as kids and our parents let us. Lol the songs we listened to as kids were talking stuff we shouldn’t have been thinking or even singing about.
Lol I remember I was like 9 singing this song on my karaoke machine
I was 13 when this came out. I had the c.d. What A Girl Wants. Come on Over (all I want is you). Such jams. My childhood.
That moment when you need to teach Billy what a metaphor means lol
I never laughed so much in my life hahaha. Between you and Mr. Video I don't know how I'm going to stop spitting out my food.😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤭.
This reaction...thank you, Billy. The sudden dawning of realization was epic.
This was on the first cd I owned which only had two songs on it. Genie in a body and what a girl wants
I definitely feel like a genie in a bottle 🤣
"Shaggy- Angel!!!" A requirement for Millennial hour!
J'adore cette chanson ✨✨✨
More Christina, please
she was 19 at this time, and like...you say like there is no worse letters that hers these days hahahaha
you should react to "what a girl wants" and "come on over baby"
No she was not 19 she was 17 when she did the song.
18 in this video.
I was 10 when this song came out and was forbidden by my dad to never sing it, but did with my friends at school anyway.
I was 22, thank goodness my Genie and a bottle had already come out!!! Love your reaction!!
I was like between 7-12 years old when i heard this and had no idea what it meant until i was like 25.
Mindblown but it is still one of my favorite nostalgic songs.
By listen to it, gives me nostalgic memories
It was 1999 I was 14. I definitely knew what she was singing.
I was almost 16 when this came out. Almost 38 now. This was my jam, been a huge fan of hers ever since.
1999. I was 3 years old. No one told me to stop singing it
When she first release this song back kn my teen days she became on of my faves along with whitney mariah and celine dion
I was 10 years old when this song came out (the summer between 7th grade and 8th grade). I turned 11 at the start of 8th grade.
I still sing this song and I'm 32 now.
OMG I love your reaction when you realize what this song is about!! PRICELESS!!!!
I was 8 when Like A Virgin came out. Imagine walking around singing " Like a virgin, touched for the very first time " at 8 yrs old.
Yes!! Same!
Bet people looking at your family in disturbed.
Been waiting for you to react to this when it frist came out i was too innocent to know what i was singing about and didn't realise until i heared it again much later.
Legendary debut.
HAHAHA 😂😂😂 Priceless 🤣😂
I love your reaction.
Ha, I'm 35 now...but there are so many songs I really had no business singing .... like "What's your fantasy" by Ludacris hahahaha omg so many great memories!
Hahaha I just found your channel and I can’t stop laughing
LMAO, Love this song. One of my favorites in karaoke LOL. I'm 48 LOL LOL and Definitely in a genie in a bottle hahahaha

He was her Master but eventually he did fall in love with her and they got married and eventually had a son.
I think we're all genie's in a bottle at least once or more in our life. Yeah guess I'm a 35 year old genie. Lol
Christina Aguilera was 19 years old when the song came out. And I was only 10 years old when genie in a bottle came out. Now I'm 32 years old.
Yes I’m waiting
reacts more to christina Aguilera
I was about 6-8 years old singing this. LOL!!!
I have to say Billy with all the craziness we got going on in the world one of my favorite things to do is watch your videos especially when it’s going to be about a song or something you don’t realize because you are hilarious you make me laugh so hard I can’t breathe I love doing that keep it up keep being you thank you
I was 11 singing and dancing to this song!!!!
I still have these lyrics stuck in my head at least once a month lol.
