What is "wind it up" about?

Question

I don't really get Gwen Stefani's new song wind it up. What is it about? What exactly is she saying or talking about? (besides winding it up lol )

Answer 1

The lyrics of "Wind It Up" include references to Stefani's clothing line, L.A.M.B., and chronicles Stefani's feelings on how boys are infatuated with staring at her. The song includes yodelling and an interpolation of "The Lonely Goatherd" from The Sound of Music (1965).[1]

Stefani considers The Sound of Music her favorite film, and she had wanted to incorporate a beat to one of its songs all her life. "Wind It Up" was originally written for the first L.A.M.B. fashion show and was not intended to appear on The Sweet Escape until Stefani heard the entire composition. "I literally cried, and I'm not exaggerating," she said.

High on the hills with the lonely goatherd, lay-od-lay-od-lay-he-hoo
Yodell back with the girl and goatherd, lay-od-lay-od-low

Wind it up
Wind it up, uh, uh, uh, uh
Yodellay, yodallay, yodal-low

(Yeah)
This is the key that makes us wind up
When the beat comes on, the girls all line up
And the boys all look, but no, they can't touch
But the girls want to know why the boys like us so much
