"My Neck, My Back (Lick It)" is the first single from Khia's debut album, Thug Misses (2002). It is one of the highest-charting songs to strongly refer explicitly to cunnilingus.
[edit] Early controversy
"My Neck, My Back (Lick It)" was originally released as an underground song and it featured numerous covers, some by Khia and some by other women. The main premise of the song was about cunnilingus as well as anilingus and had to be heavily edited. When released in the spring of 2002, it reached number forty-two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It also reached the top five in the UK and the top fifteen in Australia.
While the original version of the song contained explicit lyrics, a mitigated edit was used for radio broadcasting and the video.
[edit] Music video
The video for the song, directed by Diane Martel, was released during the spring of 2002 and showed Khia at a cook-out. The video got a lot of flak for being what many described as "ghetto".
In the United Kingdom, where the song reached number four in October 2004, a different music video was used, which did not feature Khia herself, but instead a group of bikini-clad models washing a Hummer H2 in a sexual manner, and lip-syncing the words of the song.
