Feminists' guilty pleasures...chauvinistic songs we love but won't admit |
|
Edited on Tue Oct-19-04 07:29 PM by BleedingHeartPatriot
except in a forum like this...
I'll start...I consider myself a strong feminist, however, I really like "Suffragette City" by Bowie...even (gulp) the "Wham, Bam, Thank-you, Ma'am" part...
OK, there's got to be other feminists out there who have a secret enjoyment of songs that are so much fun, you like them in spite of the Neanderthal sentiments. MKJ

1. Hey, that's because Suffragette City is just a good song |
|
I love Bowie. I still say David Bowie with Queen ranks as one of the greatest collaborations in Rock-N-Roll.

4. Ok...shhhhhh....come really close...I can't believe I am confessing this.. |

My husband and I jokingly sing Toby Keith (:puke:) Who's Your Daddy to each other. Here's where the ick factor comes in. I kind of like the beat. Don't tell anyone.

5. Look, if a song has a great melody and is performed well enough |
|
I don't care if the lyrics are "RandomKoolzip has a tiny dick/and his entire family suck gasoline through a glass tube inserted through a dead camel's cock/and everyone in his ethnic group killed Buddha while raping kittens/yeah, baby, RandomKoolzip is hung like a teddy bear...." Lyrics are just pitched mouth noises anyways.
If a lyricist has a gift for words, then that's a bonus. But the melody is what I listen for.

but I'm talking about lyrics that like that not only are not nice, but actually encourage abusive behavior "I want a girl who will laugh for no one else. when i'm away she puts the makeup on her shelf, when I'm away she never leaves the house" And other such lyrics that I shouldn't have been singing when I was 16

11. Lou Reed - Walk on the Wild Side |
|
That's not really my first choice, but I'm not printing the lyrics to a certain Dead Kennedys song that talks about removing a retainer.

12. Even though I'm a man, I like to think of myself as feminist. |

To me the Beatles "Run For Your Life" has to be the most sexist song ever performed by a rock band:
Well I'd rather see you dead, little girl than to be with another man You better keep your head, little girl or I won't know where I am
You better run for your life if you can, little girl Hide your head in the sand little girl Catch you with another man That's the end'a little girl
Well I know that I'm a wicked guy And I was born with a jealous mind And I can't spend my whole life trying just to make you toe the line
You better run for your life if you can, little girl Hide your head in the sand little girl Catch you with another man That's the end'a little girl
Let this be a sermon I mean everything I've said Baby, I'm determined And I'd rather see you dead
You better run for your life if you can, little girl Hide your head in the sand little girl Catch you with another man That's the end'a little girl
I'd rather see you dead, little girl than to be with another man You better keep your head, little girl of I won't know where I am
You better run for your life if you can, little girl Hide your head in the sand little girl Catch you with another man That's the end'a little girl Na, na, na Na, na, na Na, na, na Na, na, na
