This is the first post in a new segment I'm calling "What Is This CRAP You Call Music?"First Victim of many: Kesha
Her Song "Tik Tok" is burning up the charts and I'm not sure why. Oh and sorry if you were confused, I mean Ke$sha...
In "Tik Tok", the lyrics are severely trashy and trick Kesha barely sings. It seems like the song is trying to be purposely bad-ass, but it comes out as obviously divulgent. Here's some highlights of the lyrics:
"Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy " - what does this mean? Why the name drop?
"Before I leave brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack"- I know h.c. kids who brush with Everclear. So what?
"And now the dudes are lining up cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger "- Mick Jagger now, or in 1970, that's all I want to know?
"I´m talking about - everybody getting crunk crunk
Boys trying to touch my junk junk
Gonna smack him if he getting too drunk drunk " - Crap, Crap...
Anyways, the masterpiece music video for "Tik Tok" shows Ke$ha in her prime. It begins by showing her waking up in a bath tub in a randoms house. More or less, it looks like she woke up in a trash bin after a night of shooting heroin. Now that's high class.
She rolls out of the randoms house and then sits out on the street on a milk crate, looking kind of like she's homeless until a dude with a pedo mustache and fanny pack wins her over. She rides around in his gold Trans-Am stroking his mustache and acting cracked out of the sun roof.
Kesha eventually makes her way to a party where she strokes that mustache again and ends the night passed out in bath tub, again. This is trashy at it's finest. There's good trashy and bad trashy, and this all around is just bad, bad, bad.
