Scissor Sisters are an American band formed in 2001. "Spawned by the scuzzy, gay nightlife scene of New York," the band took their name from a sexual position between two women also known as tribadism. Its members comprise Jake Shears and Ana Matronic as vocalists, Babydaddy as multi-instrumentalist, Del Marquis as lead guitar/bassist, and Randy Real as drummer (who replaced Paddy Boom). Scissor Sisters have incorporated diverse and innovative styles in their music, but tend to sway towards pop rock, glam rock, nu-disco, and electroclash.
The band came to prominence following the release of their Grammy-nominated and chart-topping disco version of "Comfortably Numb" and subsequent debut album Scissor Sisters (2004). The album was a success, particularly in the UK (a country they call their "spiritual home") where it reached number one, was the best-selling album of 2004, was later certified platinum by the BPI and accrued them three BRIT Awards in 2005. All five of its singles reached positions within the top 20 of the UK Singles Chart while "Filthy/Gorgeous" scored the band their first number one on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs, despite the album's mere success in their native US.
Dancing on the speakers
Are you peaking with tweakers
Bigots and the breeders on the scene
The night don't last forever
So get your shit together
Open arms are never worth the scene
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
I don't need a doctor
Just a simple look or garter
Just slide to my side sociably
No, don't go commitment
When I receive a shipment
Oh, I need express delivery
Any which way
Any which way
You better take me
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way
You better take me
Any which way you can
You don't need reservations
No identification
To give me your relations
Sting me like a bee
I want you to funk me
Your battle ship has sunk me
Dip me and you dunk me
Set my body free
Any which way
Any which way
You better take me
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way
You better take me
Any which way you can
You know baby
When I was taking my pantyhose
Out of their egg this evening
I thought, I'm gonna find that man
Who has the right shade of bottled tan
A man that smells like cocoa butter and cash
Take me anyway you like it
In front of your fireplace
In front of your yacht
In front of my parents
I don't give a damn, baby
Just take me
Any which way
Any which way
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way
You better take me
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way
You better take me
Any which way you can
Any which way you can
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way
You better take me
Any which way you can
Any which way
Any which way
You better take me
Any which way you can
Any which way
(Any which way, any which way)
Any which way
(Any which way you can)
You better take me
(Any which way)
Any which way you can
(Any which way you can)
Any which way
(Any which way, any which way)
Any which way
(Any which way you can)
You better take me
(Any which way)
Any which way you can
