Every song has a story. In each episode of VICE‘s documentary series, “The Story of…” they explore the history, production, and lasting cultural impact of an iconic music track as told by those who created it.
On this episode of “The Story of“, VICE sat down with Sisqó and the creators of “Thong Song” to hear how G-strings and violin stings united to create this iconic song that brought thongs to the masses.
“Thong Song” was never meant for Sisqó, but once he heard the track he couldn’t let it go. Although the music was originally intended for Michael Jackson, producers Tim & Bob were won over by Sisqo‘s enthusiasm and fresh ideas. But Def Jam wasn’t sure that a song about thongs would sell and almost left it off the “Unleash The Dragon” album.
