bodily

[Brian Hitchcock]

A fine point, Victor, and seemingly disingenuous.  There seems little need
to "derive" implications -- "I want your body" is no more ambiguous than "I
want to jump your bones" or "Let's get it on!".  Seriously, what else might
you think the writer of the song would want her body for -- Medical
research, perhaps?  Especially considering the context of  the chorus --
what part of F-U-C-K is ambiguous to you? (or didn't you bother to decode
the chorus?)

Why would it not just mean "I want your body" (and whatever sexual

implications one can derive from there)? Sure, the subtext is sexual,

but does it really mean "carnally" here?
