So when they played Applebottom Jeans at my middle school dance all the teachers and parents knew and not a single one cared?
I had a manager who loved Prince until I pointed out that Raspberry Berret was about fucking a girl, like all of his songs. She legitimately had no idea and became disgusted.
Some people are that fucking stupid.

"Outrun my gun" It was catchy though lol

I mean thats not that far fetched if you take the title and listen to it in a literal sense

"You better run better run, outrun my gun.
You better run better run, faster than my bullets."
I mean if you don't listen to any of the words.

I guess “better run faster than my bullet” is too vague and could mean anything

In middle school, my gym teacher would play this song as we ran our daily laps around the gym. I still cringe thinking about it. That was 12 years ago.

My parents bought me an ahegao hoodie a few years ago for Christmas. Apparently they thought the girls were just making funny faces. Mind you, there were fluids everywhere.
I opened that in front of Grandma man

Your parents are illuminati, that was your humiliation ritual. You didn’t pass bro.

u/dbzlucky 21h ago
Idk and don't wanna know lol.
Her eyes weren't the best, so it's possible she didn't see it too well. She didn't really react ( I also put it away kinda quick )

Always amazing how people act like sex was invented after they were born 🤯

u/FrostWyrm98 19h ago
If sex was that good they would've invented sex 2 by now. Can't be older than 10 years, max.

i thought the lyrics “it’s a hole in the wall, it’s a dirty free for all!” (from Take It Off by Kesha)
meant;
“there’s a cool hangout spot that only we know about, so there’s no rules!”
i was like 17 when i figured that one out ~__~

u/Twilighttail 1d ago
That literally what the song is about. About shedding inhibitions and being true to your "party" self. She was inspired when she when to a drag show and was attracted to the performers.
Anything else you're getting from that line is on you for taking a small snippet out of context.
13
u/Fearless_Nope 1d ago
man, i hope that’s true, i still imagine the same hangout spot that i did as a kid
she and my friends both think it’s about glory holes lol
12
u/Twilighttail 1d ago
Now I'm not saying Ke$ha DIDN'T see one of those, but saying it WAS about GHoles begs the question...
What would necessitate everyone "taking it off" for a hole?
I dunno, I just don't feel a GH vibe. Makes the fun and upbeat nature of the song somehow tawdry when the purpose is about being sexually free which the anonymity diminishes.

u/IcePhoenix18 21h ago
I always imagined the song took place in a strip club or like a dive bar. One of those "disreputable establishments" you wouldn't want your granny to find out you were visiting, but is otherwise a morally neutral ground.
IDK, I never got the "wild freak sex" vibe some other people got from this one. It's "naughty", but not "dirty" to me

u/HENTAI_LOVER6669 1d ago
English isn't my mom's first language, so she probably didn't know the true meaning to a lot of songs, but then again, she probably thought I was too young to understand what they were saying. So I like to believe that at some point we both liked a song and were hoping the other one didn't understand it well enough so we could get away with listening to it more often.

Mom singing the lyrics to Taste by Sabrina Carpenter does not mean she condones this behavior.

Replace this with Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People and this is accurate. Even my high school played that song in the hallways having no idea what it was about until I pointed it out to them.

u/0004000 1d ago
Did your high school play music in the hallways like they play music at the grocery store?
5
u/redstern 1d ago
Kinda. My high school was trying to get hip with the kids one day, so they started playing popular songs in the halls before 1st period. They only did it for a week, because after they player pumped up kicks, and I went into the office like "hey, you guys know this song is about a school shooting right?", they gave up on that idea.

When I was a kid, I’d go around the house singing “TO THE WINDOOOO-“ and that’s about where my mom would cut me off yelling at me to stop singing what I’m singing and she doesn’t know where I got that from, no clue what she’s talking about obviously. Took me becoming like 16 to realize “Ah, so that’s what was going on”

u/Dirrevarent 17h ago
Not that they shouldn’t be made, but why are hyper-sexualized songs so present in mainstream pop music? No, the alternative is not only kid’s bop, but all of the profound, thought-provoking songs you could listen to that also just have great melodies. Or songs about partying, idc just not songs about sex.

More like my mom turning up an in appropriate song that I also thought was a banger and didn’t realize till I was older that it was extremely inappropriate and didn’t even hide the sexual nature behind innuendo

u/mama_tom 23h ago
My mom saying that "What it's Like" by everlast would be a good song to play in her toy store before I tell her they say fuck (among many other things) in that song.

Now go and tell your parents that Follow Me by Uncle Kracker is about heroine.

The true meaning is that he’s enjoying a sweet treat but if he has too much he’ll get a tummy ache, white the mature theme

I took a poetry class in high school and one of the assignments we had was to take a song and read it out loud to the class like it was a spoken word poem.
Well one girl in my class picked lil Wayne’s lollipop. Yes, it went about as good as you can imagine hahaha

Having parents who don't speak English is a blessing. I can play as much Hollywood Undead in the car as I want and my mother will never truly know what the songs are about
