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 🫣

This is the same man who was talking to the moon - I hope this was not what he was saying.

I've just googled the lyrics 😳

Same. Really wish I hadn't.

I mean, I can block explicit content but I use it too 😂 this is another level though!

Bleurgh, and his last one (with Rose) was so catchy I've been thinking lately "I quite like him" Shock
Its a shitty move from someone with a lot of young fans IMO.

Eh? Not a shitty move to put whatever music you like out!

LessonsinChemistryandLove · 27/01/2025 17:15

The song is absolute shite, if nothing else. Such a shame as I usually love Bruno Mars! I do wonder though, if this is just as good as his true talent really is, hasn’t he been sued a few times for copying people’s stuff?

Me after just reading the lyrics.

Of course I'm aware - but that was done in a lot classier a way than this nonsense!

Show quote history

By classy, obviously, I don't mean Relax is classy! But it definitely isn't as abhorrent as this trash.

Superhansrantowindsor · 27/01/2025 17:14

That is absolutely grim. I remember Frankie goes to Hollywood being banned. That’s a nursery rhyme compared to this.

Are you aware of Relax by Frankie?

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

I’ve just looked to see if I’ve had any replies to my post (me thinking I’m probably being unreasonable) and I wasnt expecting so many!

Im glad it’s not just me!!

I’m can’t apologise enough for how many of you have now listened to it/ read the lyrics 🫣

I hope you have some dettol handy for your ears/eyes!!!

DriveMeCrazy1974 · 27/01/2025 17:12

Ha! I've just (regrettably as it turns out) looked up the lyrics. I don't know if any of you watch Jonathan Creek but there's an old episode where Carla (played by Julia Swahala) reads out lyrics by a band her gynaeocologist's step son in and all I could hear is those lyrics being read in her voice!
It's bloody depressing how awful some music is now and how the artists just seem to be out to shock at every turn.
Take me back to 1980-something, I think I'm done!

BloominNora · 27/01/2025 17:11

Yikes! However, I was thinking as I was reading the first part of the chorus that it could also be about an actual cat....and then by the time I got to the first verse, that image was well and truly embedded and now I'm just thinking that it sounds like a song from Cats: The Porno!😂

I’ve not read the lyrics yet, just going by a pp who said it’s women demanding their share of pleasure.

Show quote history

No more like him demanding what he wants from a woman and how her ‘pussy’ should be . 👀

Never mind, found it

Can you turn explicit lyrics off? So it skips songs listed as explicit?

Yes, I recall seeing that as an option.

outofofficeagain · 27/01/2025 17:10

Ha! DS & I love Bruno Mars.

He's16 next week and was going to get it for him on vinyl then saw the title and thought NOPE!

HRTQueen · 27/01/2025 17:09

His career is on the wane

shame as he is very talented

Are you kidding? Just there for male sexual pleasure then.

JanetSaysYouGotTidyHair · 27/01/2025 17:07

Horrible. But also a bit hilariously childish - pussy like cocaine, put it up your nose. 😅Don't do that, mate.

But not new. I remember loving Ginuwine's "Pony" when I was about 8 and it was on TOTP 😱I was particularly fond of his dance moves which I copied with abandon😳

A few years later, me and some friends discovered Khia's "My Neck, My Back" and hailed it as a feminist anthem of women's sexual liberation.

Choccyscofffy · 27/01/2025 17:06

greengreyblue · 27/01/2025 17:05

No but it’s not appropriate for a pop song is it?

I think that shark got jumped years ago.

I’m at work so too scared to Google.

But it sounds like it’s a change from women being used as dolls?
