Do you believe in love at first sight? What about love at first listen? This is how I would describe my affinity for the aptly named Milf Song by The Puddleducks. First released in August of 2022, I first discovered this song through the Spotify Discover playlist. My experiences with this particular playlist was varied at best sometimes: I often found myself listening to it every week and only walking away only really enjoying one song from it. But what a one song this one was!
I think a big part of this song's appeal to me is specifically the vision the song's Point of View character of the Milf they are going to become someday. The singer's more masculine tone contrasts nicely with the lyrics in a way that reminds me a bit of "I/Me/Myself" by Will Wood in terms of battling with one's gender identity, though this particular example is more lighthearted. I'm not sure if The Puddleducks intended their song to have a transgender leaning, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn it either!
The lines in the beginning verse outline the singer's vision for their Milf-sona: she doesn't necessarily have kids, is sexier than all the others, and is bisexual (Both kissing all the pretty ladies and taking a young man for a lover). The chorus has something of a desperate plea of "Do you want me now?", before rounding out with "Milf is just a state of mind." What does this mean? I don't know! But it speaks to me. If the second verse is an expression of wanting to be a woman (or at least, wanting to be more feminine), I almost read the second verse as something of an overcorrection as the singer describes their vision of, just maybe, becoming a Dilf as well.
The Dilf is described in far less sexy terms, with his defining features being having extra money and having kids that don't like him. Do you think this is the singer's actual reality? They don't seem to want to spend a lot of time in this mindset, going back to the refrain of "Milf is just a state of mind" by the end of the chorus.
