Polyester Girl

Polyester Girl' by Regurgitator tells a whimsical and satirical story of a man's relationship with an artificial, synthetic woman, highlighting the superficial and disposable nature of some modern relationships.

Regurgitator's 'Polyester Girl' serves as a metaphorical critique on consumerism, objectification, and the artificiality permeating modern relationships and society. The song utilizes a quirky narrative about a man and his synthetic 'polyester' companion, reflecting on how contemporary culture often treats relationships as commodifiable and temporary, similar to consumer goods. The lyrics whimsically describe how the polyester girl is taken for a ride, breaks, and is sent back for repairs, underscoring themes of disposability and the lack of genuine human connection in an increasingly materialistic world. In a deeper sense, the song could also be seen as commenting on the quest for an ideal, yet unattainable partner — a 'perfect' yet entirely artificial creation. This reflects broader societal obsessions with perfection and the lengths to which people will go to achieve it, often at the cost of genuine human emotion and connection. The repetitive emphasis on the girl's shininess and her being the 'shiniest in all the world' satirizes the superficial values that are often glorified in media and pop culture.
