The song is a continuous stream of ambiguities with sexual overtones. In the refrain, there is a reference to documentaries about animals on the Discovery Channel , where you can see animals “doing it” [4] .
According to the Songfacts music site, “Bad Touch” (as in the name of the song) is how America teaches young children to scream if someone obscenely touches them (to prevent possible harassment) [4] .

The video also featured a scene with two gay men in sailor uniforms who eat fried potatoes from the same plate and who are then stunned by the members of the group, coming in from behind and hitting French baguettes on the heads. The clip was first shown in this form, but then the scene was cut out [5] .
The fact is that the Alliance of Gays and Lesbians against defamation complained about this scene to MTV , saying that "in the current climate, the scene in which gays are beaten (in any context) is unacceptable" ( eng. A gay-bashing scene in any context in today's climate is not acceptable ) [5] . After a more detailed study of the video clip, the television channel advised Geffen Records to cut this scene [5] .
