George Micheal and yo-yos

[Verres]

Whilst busy reliving Wham!'s greatest hits, I was struck by that infamous line

"Dont keep me hanging on like a yoyo"

Despite much discussion, i have yet to find out what this particular lyric actually refers to, and a friend suggested i ask you learned lot.

Many thanks

dont let me hanging on like a yo yo

nice. though last christmass was airplayewd so many times i grew sick of it

[BeBMan]

You don´t know what a yoyo is?

[Verres]

of course i know what a yoyo is! what im asking is why he is comparing himself to one....i assume its some kind of euphanism, but my innocent little mind cant think what it refers to

[Bereta_Eder]

yo yo up and down up and down from a string. you girls are pretty good at it

[Skanky Burns]

He is being used like a yoyo - let go and then pulled back in again, only to be thrown away yet again. Something in that line of thought...

[BeBMan]

But G.Michael isn´t "into" girls I thought....?

[Verres]

thanx skanky, that kind of makes sense i guess

[BeBMan]

I thought a yo-yo occurs when two rappers meet on the street

Yo-yo's were weaponry used by certain Amazonian tribes. They could kill a man at 20 feet.

Woman take you on emotional rollercoasters whose bipolar variations make you wish you had been hit in the face by a 5kg lump of wood hurled by a half naked cannibal.

More proof that, in fact, the most dangerous weaponry in the hands of mankind (so to speak) are females. I say we rise up against our breasted oppressors!! No longer will the scourge of guilt and emotional sewage plague the glory of the phallus!

Ah, now I understand why you have chosen this avatar....

And I thought i was bitter and twisted

Go-go + Yo-yo.

That's all the justification you need for a pop song.
