Has anyone heard this song
I heard it other other day and was so so shocked by the lyrics I nearly had a heart attack 😂
Why do mainstream artists bring out utter filth like this. I really don’t like my kids (teenage) hearing this garbage….ive listened to some garbage in my time but it’s another level and is shocking to me coming from such a popular artist.
I know everyone will be like well they will hear it on YouTube/tiktok…..but I’d really like it not to be coming up on Spotify which they listen to alot 🫣

OK, I see it's his brand new song. I have now googled the lyrics.

How the fuck has this made it off the cutting room floor? Shock I am no prude but this is utterly vile. Proper nasty. I can't believe Bruno has gone from epic songs like Uptown Funk, Locked Out Of Heaven, Just The Way You Are, Grenade, and When I was Your Man; and cute songs like Marry You, Lazy Song, and Runaway Baby, to THIS TRASH!

As has been said, he is turning into a dirty, filthy-minded, middle aged man. What a pig. I was a fan of his. Not any more. He can get tae fuck! Hmm

I am so repulsed by him now, that if ever I met him, and he chatted me up, I would tell him to fuck off. I would NOT want to be with a man who comes out with shit like this. 😖 (Yes yes I know that's not gonna happen - him asking me out, but you know what I mean!!!)

He's got a girlfriend hasn't he? I wonder what she thinks of this monstrosity of a 'song?'

Are you aware of Relax by Frankie?

Show quote history

Relax is a stone cold classic that still sounds fantastic.

This shite doesn't even have a groove. Think of some 90s r&b/gangsta rap songs which have some seriously dodgy lyrics but the songs still sound so good because of the groove, melody, hooks, bass lines, brilliant samples.

This sounds like black eyed peas trying to be BAD boys and gals.

Maybe he's singing about a cat bringing a slug through the cat flap?
Cats have been known to drag in random things Grin

Mrs Slocombe would be horrified Shock

Men don't say titties? (Well at least not any of the men I've ever let near mine!)

JohnTheRevelator · 27/01/2025 17:31

I had to Google what this song was as I haven't heard it yet. Just the title of it would be enough to put me off! 😱

How is this the man who wrote the same lyrics as “When I see your face there’s not a thing that I would change cos you’re amazing just the way you are”

What is he doing?

I love that song - but now, whenever I think about Bruno Mars, I'm just going to associate him with this nasty, stupid song instead.

'Fat, juicy, and wet' sounds like a slug.

That actually makes it worse.

If only he was singing about a slug....🤣

If I were to suddenly start putting titties on my Husbands forehead and chin and screaming for him to “Slob on my cl*t” and “suck on my toes”, whilst commenting on his “milk mustache”, he’d possibly divorce me because he’d assume I was having a mental breakdown 😂

I just wish these guys would realise the art of sexiness is discretion and subtlety.

He usually is, but this is the trend at the moment and he’s hopping on it! I like it.

NoTouch · 27/01/2025 17:28

I googled and made it to the second verse 😲 before closing in disgust.

And believe me I am no prude, don't even own a set of pearls to clutch 🤣

Vile.

Here you go.

I'm sorry.

Show quote history

Jaysus, I thought the lyrics alone were a bag of shite. That's fucking awful. It sounds like a parody from SNL.

If Radio 1 has to bleep this to make it radio friendly, it's going to sound as if it's written in Morse code.

There is a clean version tho

VenusClapTrap · 27/01/2025 17:26

Well yuck. I suppose this is how my grandma felt when Like a Virgin came out.

HollyKnight · 27/01/2025 17:26

What is the purpose of forehead money??? I'm too old for this shit. 😩

SoScarletItWas · 27/01/2025 17:24

Amazingly there IS a ‘clean’ version.

Slap on my lit, kiss on my toes 🤷‍♀️

Money on your forehead, money on your chin 😄

Surprised what still made it in though!

Newfoundzestforlife · 27/01/2025 17:23

Ew. That is sick, it's actually put me off ALL of his music now! I hate him! Nice glamorising class A drugs in the lyrics too!
What a middle aged creep.

Particularly disgusting that Sexxy Red imagines she is empowering women with this horseshit.

It’s a terrible song in terms of lyrical content, but being happy to enthusiastically and unashamedly demand oral sex is something a lot of women would in fact benefit from…

I think this is a valid point. It's not my cup of tea by any means, and I don't think it should be played on daytime radio (!) but I also think anything that puts women's sexual pleasure at the forefront (in the way men's sexual pleasure has been for the past however many decades, particularly in hip hop) is probably no bad thing. Whether we like it or not, young people are listening to sexually explicit songs, and I'd rather they were female pleasure-centric than the other way around!

i didn’t post the song because I didn’t want to traumatise anyone that didn’t know what song I was talking about 🙏

Good God, my pearls are nearly strangling me. That’s revolting 🤢

BatchCookBabe · 27/01/2025 17:21

Is this the 'urpy turpy tip' dirge?! The radio goes off within 3 seconds when that shite comes on! 😬
