What is the Meaning of Stroke?

In the world of double entendres, this little ditty takes the gold medal while pretending to be about career advancement. The lyrics cleverly disguise sexual innuendo behind business-world metaphors—handshakes, "one big break," and being a "winner." The repetitive chorus ("Stroke me, stroke me") creates an intentionally provocative ambiguity that lets listeners interpret it however they please. Notice how physical directions ("put your right hand out," "left foot out") establish a dance-like ritual that could apply to networking or something more intimate. The contrast between "winner" and "sinner" reveals the song's playful moral tension. Musically matching the era's rock swagger, it captures the brash confidence of early 80s culture when boundaries between professional and personal success were deliberately blurred. The emotions range from cocky self-assurance to tongue-in-cheek humor, all delivered through Squier's knowing vocal performance. It's essentially an anthem about getting what you want—whether that's in the boardroom or the bedroom.
