In my previous blog post, I shared the story of the writing of Stick Out Your Tongue. From that story you should be able to tell that a music video was always part of the idea for the song. I went back and forth on exactly what the video should look like, but I finally decided on videos of people dancing both with and without them sticking out their tongues. I sent a notification to my followers on social media along with my email subscribers. There were a handful of people that I reached out to that I thought would contribute creative ideas. They did not disappoint.

Several people have asked me, “Why Stick Out Your Tongue? What does it mean?” Even my wife has asked me where it came from. I think the assumption is that it has naughty implications. I’m sure you can make anything suggestive, but it was never intended that way. The origins of using this phrase in a song and the inspiration for the song itself are not complicated.
