Do the Helen Keller?

I’ve heard “Don’t Trust Me” from 3Oh!3 twice on the radio today. Apparently it’s the hot new song, yes?

It’s catchy, fun to listen to, cute boys sing it…so what’s my problem with it?

Ohhh, that’s right. THIS is my problem:
“Shush girl, shut your lips. Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips.”

…seriously? It’s stuff like this that makes me think we actually will be “Idiocracy” in 500 years.*

*And why have I watched the video several times today? How can I be equally obsessed with and hate it — all at the same time??

Then songs like “Lollipop” with lyrics like “she so sweet she wants to lick the rapper” And that’s “rapper” not “wrapper” would really turn your stomach. It’s a goofy bad Helen Keller joke but is by far not worst thing on the radio. Listen to how today’s Hip Hop and the edits that are played on radio BARELY squeak by on getting yanked.

You hear “ish” and you know it’s s**t backwards and all other “masking” they do on the curse words. Just yesterday I saw a mom with a car full of kids and the radio blasting Lil Wayne and the kids in the back singing the real words!

YIKES!

See…I’m totally cool with the swearing and dirty lyrics. First Amendment, blah blah.

There are just some things you shouldn’t touch, you know?

But yes, little kids singing any of those songs definitely deserves a yikes.

Jesika and I went to the Gym Class Heroes, T Pain and Lil Wayne concert Saturday night. Conseco was jam packed with hundreds of middle school and high school kids that probably should have washed their mouths out with soap when they got home.

I have NO problem with dirty lyrics. Bring ‘em on. What scares me is how many kids have only heard of Helen Keller because of that song! There’s definitely a “slow down and gawk at the car crash” quality about it though.

im gonna be honest compared to some other lyrics from some of the music i listen to this can be considered clean to me, and im 14 so-examples-
—“The human nakedness rides- On the back of hell The virgins sex up their lives- And I wish you well”
—“I wanna taste those lips, why don’t you shake those hips?”
—“She starts her new diet of liquor and dick, Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick, The sun goes down, and so does she, the sun goes down and so does she”
—"Next in line to get fucked up Your best bet is to stay away motherfucker Its just one of those days!! "
—“i heard a story just the other day a story that i could not believe a story about your mother how she goes down on her knees and the guys downstairs say she can do it really well how does it feel… to know your mother sucks cock in hell”
—“Your feelings I can’t help but rape them I’m sorry, I don’t feel the same My heart inside is constantly hating I’m sorry, I just throw you away I don’t know why I’m so fucking cold I don’t know why it hurts me All I wanna do is get with you and make the pain go away Why do I have a conscience? All it does is fuck with me Why do I have this torment? All I wanna do is fuck it away”

i have like a ton more but i think you get the point from these there is way worse out there than just this,.. my favourite kind of songs have ‘dirty’ lyrcs although i refer to them as sexy songs
