Without delving too much beyond broad innuendo, it became a song that could appeal to the pop ears of large audiences without losing the gritty rock foundation that had made them successful to this point. In regard to what the song is actually about, it is a “safe for radio” way of saying that the singer is up for anything sexually that his partner might be into. When the studio producer they had used for both of their first two albums overheard the hook for the chorus, he insisted that the band work to get this song on the latest record. This was merely a passing idea that the lead singer Joe Elliott had, which he toyed around with in the studio while on break from recording other tracks already set to be on the record. The irony in all of it, is that it very nearly never even made it onto a record to be played. And all these things make perfect topic fodder for silly Internet pictures and gifs.įrom old classics like "May the 4th be with you" to some new ones you probably have never seen before, check out the gallery below to see hilarious May memes to share with your friends.In the 30 years since the song came out, many people have speculated as to what the song meaning actually was and what made it such a memorable track.

In 2016, he tweeted, "Everybody… It is ACTUALLY GONNA BE MAY! #canyoumemeyourself Probably not, right?"Īlthough Justin was a good sport about being the butt of jokes, he later explained that the mispronunciation wasn't entirely his fault. It became so big, it eventually reached Justin himself. Different versions started popping up in 2016 that included poems and even gifs of Justin busting out of a May calendar. As the picture circled around Tumblr, and later Twitter and Facebook, it quickly became popular. Since 2012, fans have been poking fun of the old song by putting the phrase "it's gonna be May" on top of a picture of Justin.
