Troubling Song Lyrics...






Okay, So this is a cute song in a bubble gum poppy dance club kind of way, but if you listen to the lyrics, there is one line that is beyond explanation: "But we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger"
Jagger does rhyme with swagger, I get it.... But seriously? If you saw a guy that looked like Mick Jagger, but was definitely NOT Mick Jagger, in say...a bowling alley or something, that would be a good thing? I understand that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I think even Mick Jagger knows if he wasn't a rich and famous rock star, he'd be paying for sex, or desperately hoping to get some Carny drunk enough to do him just before she vomits and passes out.

That lyric struck me, too. My son and I tried to think of an alternative to rhyme with "swagger," but all I could come up with was "grocery bagger."

Secret, LOL How about...But we kick 'em to the curb if they don't hiccup and stagger?
But we kick 'em to the curb because we don't need a nagger?
But we kick 'em to the curb if they're a bound and a gagger?

Haha . . certainly time for the man to have some surgery or just retire into the ether. Funny how we don't pay too much attention to lyrics and sometimes they're so god awful!

Baino, Yes they certainly can be. Some of them now are shockingly sexually explicit. To think kids are listening to it, makes me cringe.

Alcohol in bowling allies can make anyone a lot prettier!
