No Wonder I don't like current music....

[Railyn]

Ok - I said I was gonna try some different stuff every now and then.

And I'm not gonna jinx myself this time by saying I'm feeling better - the almighty and unmerciful sinus infection god may be listening.....

Anyway, I'm watching Degrassi on Friday night (I know, toss the eggs - it's a guilty pleasure) and they play videos between shows. This one came on. I have never head of the artist before. I know nothing about her. I was kind of vegging, waiting for the next show to come on, and I started hearing the lyrics. For starters, they're pretty lame. Second, they were playing this on the Noggin channel - geared for kids. I think that the a** word was bleeped out, but I just don't understand why this is marketed toward children.

Anyway, just check this one out. Am I the only one who thinks it's pretty bad?

hey mr. dj turn the music up loud

here see low let out the clothes and freak
act a fool you can do whachu want
get loose cause the track be that funk
groove to the bump

just break it down
make ya trunk bobble with that extra bounce
make it touch the ground then raise it up
like the garbage men do with the dump truck
ladies hands up lemme see you shake ya stuff
a-b-c and d cups little bitty and a big ol' butt
fella's hands high lemme see you work it out one time
put ur body against mine, c'mon baby grind

oh here we go
time to shake that ass on the dance floor
jiggle that thing like jello
all my rich chicks, and the girls in the ghetto
so we go get drunk, til' you fall that's right
in the club or either in your bumpin ride
slim a big bone don't matter you're size
don't matter if you're black or white
all shapes and sizes spread love world wide
i mean we all the same color inside
so why divide, i mean there's no reason why
east coast to the west side
mid-west to the south we tight
thats to show you please believe
ima stay being me, and the change of me
like trick see i luv the kids
so i got to work out for as long as i live
i'm tryna be the best thing coming out this year
to rock you to tril and thats the scrill
but for now

just break it down
make ya trunk bobble with that extra bounce
make it touch the ground then raise it up
like the garbage men do with the dump truck
ladies hands up lemme see you shake ya stuff
a-b-c and d cups little bitty and a big ol' butt
fella's hands high lemme see you work it out one time
put ur body against mine, c'mon baby grind

ladies hands up lemme see you shake ya stuff
a-b-c and d cups little bitty and a big ol' butt
fella's hands high lemme see you work it out one time
put ur body against mine, c'mon baby grind

tube tops, t-shirts, blue jeans, mini skirts
overtime make it work
wobble that ass til' the thing hurt
white beaters, throw backs, fitted caps, bucket hats
no matter where you from where you at
shake that shit like how you luv that
everybody get your boogie on
party all night til' the break of dawn, c'mon
put your hands in the air
and wave em around like you just don't care, yeah
front to the back over there
vip area, ballas upstairs
get booked and cop ya chairs
at the top of your lungs and let me hear, yeah

just break it down
make ya trunk bobble with that extra bounce
make it touch the ground then raise it up
like the garbage men do with the dump truck
ladies hands up lemme see you shake ya stuff
a-b-c and d cups little bitty and a big ol' butt

Here's a link to a clip: www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00009ZYBM/qid=1062987680/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-6997877-5544118?v=glance&s=music

My Opinion: If she wanted a song to rally the ladies, she could have worded it a bit better. The slight suggestivity of the lyrics aren't what get me, it's just that they're not well written at all. Bordering on inane. The singer is very pretty and has talent, but needs a better writer.

I agree with you!

If you want a women singing TO women about "rallying" them, listen to Martina! (Bet ya knew I was gonna say that! )

[lora]

I couldn't even read all of these lyrics. They were just too much for me to handle. Nowadays, the music biz is style over substance and it sickens me. Sex sells, and it sells entirely too much to suit me.

Yes, I did. But you have a very valid point.

I know what you mean. She was going so fast while she was in the video, but I was picking up enough to make me go - what? When I found the lyrics, it took me awhile to go through them all too.

[H2IZCOOL]

Sorry, Railyn. I don't think I'm gonna try to find that song anytime soon.

Geared for KIDS??

[Dawn]

I agree with you - the lyrics to this one are VERY poorly written. That's disappointing that they would air this on a children's channel.

The channel the video airs on regularly is the Noggin channel - during the day they show things like Sesame Street, and in the evenings shows geared for the early to mid-teen crowd, like the new Degrassi, Daria, etc. - but this song I think is still a bit much for even that age group. They show a lot of the hip-hoppy artists like 'Lil Bow Wow, and some other chick I never heard of who pretty much just rambles nonsense.

Origially, Noggin was a purely educational channel, then they moved away from it a bit, but they still push shows that teach a good lesson (like Degrassi, etc.). I just dont' get it.

[glow=red,2,300]It seems to me that most of this song sounds like it should be sung by a man, but that's just my opinion. I don't like the lyrics very much...had trouble getting through all of them too. I've never been much into current music, though.[/glow]

Good point, Camille. I was having a hard time understanding her, and when I pulled the lyrics, I could understand why - the amount of words she had crammed in there - makes your head spin!
