"I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires
And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats."
(Before He Cheats - Carrie Underwood)
"And don't tell me you're sorry when you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught."
(Take A Bow - Rihanna) ~~~btw I always thought this would be a great line a state trooper could use when he pulls you over, he could even sing it~~~
"I learned the hard way
That they all say
Things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks
deep down under you and
Your twisted words your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry."
(Love Song - Sara Bareilles)
I detect a theme here. They really should make this into the Men Suck World Concert Tour of 2008 so I say let the chicks vent. I have to say though I like the Bareilles song, for starters the singer has a very clear voice and you can make out every word without googling lyrics, something I have to do with Fergie and others from time to time. Take it away.
Then there is Wake Up Call by Maroon 5 on the opposite side of things.
ReplyDeleteI think people more readily sympathize and empathize with the emotions of Woman, if there's a concern or a problem everyone stops what they're doing and listens. Men on the other hand are always told to stop your whining and move on. Wake Up Call, catchy beat, risky lyrics, it tells a story but songs like this go way back. Smashing cars, shooting lovers, it sure ain't your Archies stuff.
ReplyDeleteMen have emotions?
ReplyDeletelol
apparently not enough to come to our emotional rescue, oooh, oooh oooh oooh oooh.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chuckle, you have a great sense of humor Z.
ReplyDeleteIn general the Maroon 5 guys don't seem to have good luck with the ladies anyhow.
ReplyDelete...really? What are these gals looking for anyway? In Z's universe the ladies would have to give reasons, on your rejected application there'd be a comment box.
ReplyDeleteFrom the popularity of his books, I'd say women want guys like the ones in Nichloas Sparks books.
ReplyDeleteEver read The Notebook?
Ooops, stupid conservative spelled Nicholas wrong!
ReplyDeleteNever read Sparks or The Notebook so fill me in on those sexy characters. Do they have that Fabio appeal?
ReplyDeleteHis characters are witty and they can cook, so seems to me women should be all over you.
ReplyDeleteIt kinda hit me today thinking about that Carrie Underwood song and sheesh if her significant other knew she had this violent streak no wonder he was probably afraid to break things off with her, not that cheating is right but he might have feared the consequences of breaking it off with a pyscho, hypothetically of course since it is just a song.
ReplyDeleteRe your first comment here some are some aren't. I ain't really gonna hit it off with that chick browsing through Feminism Today at B&N. I have a respectable bank account but I ain't no hedge-fund guy, depends on what her priorities are. Dr. Laura avidly advances her theory of Social Darwinism, that the bottom line should most important to a woman considering you. Carrie Underwood, it's a catchy song but really a minor psycho song when you get right down to it but we really don't label it as such, it all goes back to my point about we feel more for the emotions of women. Put it another way, a woman whom you're not in love with constantly wants to go out with you, her attitude is you should be attracted to her and the common response is "why won't you go out with her?" If however a man really really wants to go out with a woman and she's not interested nobody asks this of the woman, it's leave her alone and her reasons are her reasons to be locked away in her heart. We live in a therapeutic culture but it's mostly geared towards the woman.
ReplyDeleteAgain, good point, and totally not fair.
ReplyDelete& that's the part that really gets me, that you still have feminist dinosaurs like Geraldine Ferraro who chalk up Hillary's failure to sexism, this in an age when everything seems geared towards the woman! It's like complaining about lanterns run on whale oil when they really don't make them anymore.
ReplyDeleteBTW have you noticed the sudden uptick in hostile liberal commentary at my blog of late? I'll take it, it's definitely generating buzz and so
ReplyDeleteit's all good,
just spell my name right as they say.
Maybe the libs will learn something by coming here, seems like an impossible dream but stranger things have happened.
ReplyDeletelike moths attracted to a streetlight
