    everyone wants it to be a bad word but in reality it means nothing. from wikipedia: "DeVille later confessed that the phrase "unskinny bop" has no particular meaning. He invented it as a temporary measure while writing the song, before vocalist Bret Michaels had begun working on the lyrics. The phrase was used on the basis that it was phonetically suited to the music. The song was later played to producer Fairbairn, who stated that although he did not know what an "unskinny bop" was, the phrase was perfect."
    So it can be added to the list of other bizarre lyrics that somehow make it to the top of the charts....like "radio ga ga".
