Oooooooooooooo she does not stop!

Lately I have been on this particular song again and again - I find myself oddly moved by curiosity to determine what Lauryn Hill thinks of current events, but I know it would be a wild and weird rabbit hole and I don't have time for it right now, sadly!

Obsessed with this song, perhaps because I am using COCONUT milk to make a delightful curry sauce today for the first time and it was magical and perfect on the very first try at this!

It hurt me even to replay the memory in my mind unbidden, so I must cleanse it by offering a real version sung by a real tenor without the surrounding sulfurous stench. Sorry about the distressing way this video cuts off the orchestra at the end, when you really, really needed a better resolution after being drawn through that glorious emotional ringer, but that's how it be sometimes when you don't have your own recording to upload.

I love her, she is just so good - perhaps more obviously here than in other videos. And also a very interesting person. Womanofsteel!

Listening to U Talkin' Talking Heads to My Talking Head, Scott recommend this cover album reimagining their Remain in Light album, which was influenced by African polyrhythms and specifically Fela, and returning it to Africa. It's pretty fab.

Kidjo was on my artist deep dive project (so was Feta) that I never finished. Maybe it's time to restart it...

Love her too! She recently won a Grammy, yes? There's an amazing video with her wearing this long blue and white gown - I can't find it and I don't know whether that's because it's too early or if I can't remember what I'm talking about. Anyway, yes to this! Here's something really mellow for the very pleasant morning we are having here:

Made error of listening to current pop radio hit for the children, "WAP". I don't think I'm being hypocritically prudish about saying this is not really a good radio hit for the children, because I don't like the other ones of its kind either, when they so explicitly mention anybody else's parts and potentials. I'm an all-purpose disliker of pop radio hits that include this type of thing without at least some "poetic" masking. Why? Because I know that I never played that song in this house where my kid could hear it, nor did either of the other kids in the house, but nevertheless my 9-year-old knew what it was before I did and asked me if I had ever heard the new cardi b song before breaking out into the giggles. So all it takes is one teenage sibling or parent to play it for one kid in a classroom of twenty, and all the other nine-year-olds suddenly know exactly how to go look it up for themselves.

That said, it's pretty catchy. And while I can appreciate both of these ladies and find some amusement in their latest work - the spelling my name line is a "realistic practical advice" type of highlight - again I'm going to apply the consistent rule that we would apply if this were made by men and say that if you need to brag about your little garage it's probably not that tiny after all. So sad.

This is a fun article to show that dirty songs going to #1 has been a 50 year phenomenon.
https://slate.com/culture/2020/08/wap-d ... ber-1.html

Still of those it's clearly the most explicit. But there's been songs this explicit for decades, they just never hit #1.

They gave that person a nice long leash to write something hilarious. :D

Not sure of those are examples of widely known/super dirty lyrics, though - maybe I just have weirdly compartmentalized standards. Like "Baby Got Back" is a wholesome tune, isn't it? Merely a nice way of celebrating "normal" rear ends, no?

He definitely gets explicit at times, uses the F word as a noun, but it's comparatively tame. But so is Chuck Berry's My Ding-a-Ling.

Reading the lyrics, I didn't put together that my favorite song from the "Bash Brothers" film was probably inspired from the line "Shake that healthy butt, Baby got back (L.A. fits with the Oakland booty)"

See it's about healthy butts. It's a health song. Very different thrust, if you will.

Usually I encounter this song when I'm driving because it is ubiquitous on the radio, and there's a window down and lots of wind noises and street noises, and I can't hear a thing they're saying. But even without the distractions I don't think I would be able to tell what they're saying! I am coming up with my own lyrics, as a consequence, because one of the lines ends with something that sounds like Donald Trump. We're building out from there but it's a work in progress; meanwhile I babble along senselessly. No idea why this song is called Roses - I never hear that word anywhere in this thing, and it took me a really long time to figure the name out (only happened because one day I glanced down at the dashboard while driving and saw a jumble of letters for artist and then the song was the word Roses.)

Discovered this because of a movie I was watching last night; got to the very end of the movie and had to stop watching right about when the song came on, due to child awakening and wandering through the room unexpectedly, so now I have been diverted by listening to various musics but still haven't finished the movie.

Features everything I love about modern pop, which is mainly, being as catchy-as-hell and wearing its influences heavy on its sleeves. Crisp modern production, anthemic 80s throwback (interpolating INXS) but also a 70s disco floor stomper.

Haven't yet seen the new version of the movie but have been presented with the new version of the song, and it's actually quite good for what it is. I'm glad they had her sing it again - it should have been her. She has managed to constrain some of her florid vocal stylings and channel them towards a better end, and the result is powerful. I don't like the ending with that one giant note blasting and then down to quiet, but whatever. Our culture is insensate to such things unless you blast them with a virtual cannon, and they did.
