"big legged woman ain't got no soul"--Led Zepplin I think. |
I love that song! |
Wow- you could be me! ![]() |
The Rolling Stones were kind of famous (or infamous) at a certain time in history for what could be legitimately considered misonygistic lyrics-"under my thumb", "black girls just want to get fucked all night", "we got some Puerto Rican girls who are just dying to meet you", "when I'm trying to make some girl", I could go on and on here (also denigrated for some of their album art involving violence towards women). The question here is what is art. If you take a look at any of these lyrics on the surface they are all beyond insulting and venture into the world of misogyny but when put into some type of context might be considered a commentary on the artists themselves. Can you separate the man from the music? What about Michael Jackson? He was probably one of the most talented entertainers of the 20th century and yet in all likelyhood was also a pedophile-should he be "left alone"? Rap and Hip Hop music contains some of the most nasty lyrics you could ever imagine about women-is it simply misogynistic or a greater reflection of the artist's experience? If art evokes a reaction be it positive or negative, on that basis alone, it is successful. Oh and by the way, as a lifelong dieter, I simply cannot stand "C is for Cookie". |
"Move Bitch, Get Out the Way"-traffic around here is bad enough without the guy driving up my ass on the third lane of the Beltway singing about it. |
Sususuddio. |
Gosh. I loved that song when it came out. I think I was 13? I had no idea that's what it was about, until just now. I was envisioning something like a bunch of cool new-wave/punk London teenagers spinning records (Richie Cunningham style) in someone's den. Bloody hell... ![]() |
"I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad But I knew love before I left my nursery, huh Left alone with big fat fanny She was such a naughty nanny Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me Hey hey! " Queen FYI in England a fanny isn't a bottom. |
Something like:
"We'll put a boot in your ass, it's the American Way" Angry American by Toby Keith Come to think of it, the whole song really sucks. |
You beat me to it. Damn. |
That's a GREAT song. |
You're thinking of the original song by Dead or Alive - a 1980's hit about seeing someone in a club you want to hook up with. Flo'Rida does his own thing with it. |
How can this not creep you out a bit? |
It's about cheating on a spouse, not having sex with a minor. |
