Me, being the kind of person who apparently likes exposing herself to as much crap as possible, decided to listen to the song "Wake Up Call." I now fear for Benevolent Dictator's future if she's listening to shit lyrics like this:
I think I'm gonna have to cheat
to keep your eyes on me
but maybe if i make you jealous
you'll finally start to wake up
If I recall correctly, I nearly fell over in my chair screaming "ARRRGH" in pain, but I restrained myself since BD was upstairs sleeping and I don't think Jeff would know how to explain to his daughter that her mother drove her head into a computer monitor because the lyrics to this song drove her insane.
Don't even get me started on the video. I have a feeling it was made at the $5.99 "Make Your Own Music Video" booth at the mall.
The fake reggae beat makes me wince in pain, but seriously, the lyrics are shit. Maybe it's because I'm old and I have experience under my belt, but really, cheating for attention is just a bad idea for relationships. If you're not happy that your boyfriend/husband/girlfriend/tree/rock/goat isn't paying attention to you, maybe you should...I don't know....SAY FUCKING SOMETHING. Or dump their ass if they've been put on notice. Hell, why would you want to be with someone who ignores you unless you do stupid drama shit like this?
Well, you might be Erica Kane, but that's soap land and in soap land, PEOPLE. ARE. INSANE.
What the fuck is up with the lyrics that little pop starlets are singing now? I mean, we've got Avril Lavigne singing shit like "I don't like your girlfriend, I think you need a new one," which is so soap opera/high school/stalker.
Then there's Katy Perry's song, "I Kissed a Girl," which to me sounds like a drunk girl in a bar trying to scam free drinks/attention by kissing her best friend forever. It's one of those songs that isn't edgy, despite what people think. And calling girls "magical" because we have "soft skin and red lips"? Who are these women? When did women become magical? Because if we are, I AM SERIOUSLY GYPPED AND I DEMAND MY MAGIC POWER (preferably super speed so I can get everything done faster and beat Benevolent Dictator to the laptop so she doesn't crack the case YET AGAIN).
And what woman did she kiss that had Cherry Chapstick on? What age is that woman -- 12? In which case, call the motherfucking cops for underage drinking.
Fucking hell. If this is the role models my girl will have when she gets older, I'm going to really be pissed off. What happened to Joan Jett, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Salt 'n Pepa, Missy Elliott (whose lyrics are sexy, but not like this weird-ass male-centric porno way), Blondie, Annie Lennox, Lauryn Hill (pre-crazy), Aretha, Tina and all those great female vocalists that showed love, vulnerability, anger and other emotions and drama without sounding like a 15-year-old girl who has taken Twilight to heart as the ultimate guide to romance?
*hikes pants up to under her chin* Fucking kids today. Get some real music.

Joan Jett? Why, she was rockin' out in Fond du Lac last night, actually. ;-)
And hey....I just bought some strawberry chapstick. Was standing there in front of the lip balm section and was like "damn, i haven't had that in forever!" LOL
