Kashka is about a pair of men. Great song.

I always assumed the vaseline line in Wow was intentionally ambiguous.
It isn't a positive image, but why should it be, Wow is a very
negative song about failure and sycophantic behaviour. I presume She
made the guy queer simply to  get that double meaning, I can't think
of a straight equivalent.
