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 pisses me off because my 10 year old and her friends love the APT song he did recently with Rose (which is admittedly extremely catchy). So his new one is bound to come up when they put Spotify on. And they always read the lyrics on the Spotify screen, which I think is worse than just hearing them! I think it's a bit off for an artist who knows they've got really young fans.

That's why you block explicit content...

Can't wait for the Kidz Bob cover.

Put the explicit content filter on, on Spotify or there’s also Spotify kids. Even before this song, if Bruno mars is in your algorithm it could bring up songs where he sings about fucking like gorillas or having really nice sex etc, his back catalogue is not just grenade type pg songs.

Can someone post a link please

spacepies · 27/01/2025 16:28

Whats it called.

MummaMummaJumma · 27/01/2025 16:27

I mean I’m no prude, I used to boogie on down to “my neck, my back…” but I’m a little taken aback by the lyrics.. particularly “slob on my CL😳T” 🤢

I love Bruno mars too. How can he go from recently releasing a lovely, romantic song with lady gaga, to this horseshit.

teapotfullofsquash · 27/01/2025 16:25

Oh ffs what have I just read 😳 it's absolutely disgusting. There's just no need.

Mia184 · 27/01/2025 16:25

I have a hunch that this song will be giving those horrible cat abusers in China some new ideas…. 🤮

Anonymous2003 · 27/01/2025 16:25

I'll be honest, I thought your post was a bit prudish til I googled the lyrics! Wtaf!

vandel · 27/01/2025 16:24

Well it's getting plenty of publicity isn't it, what with all the googling and listening and so on. Ignore is the best bet.

TheaBrandt · 27/01/2025 16:24

Come back Mary whitehouse all is forgiven

I8toys · 27/01/2025 16:24

I've just asked Alexa to play it and me and my husband just looked at each other and shook our heads after the first few seconds. I'll just imagine its about cats.

Yuck.
They'd need an instrumental version for Radio.

Everanewbie · 27/01/2025 16:23

This reminds me of the real I saw at Christmas. A radio DJ announces:

"The festive classic, Fairytail of New York has been banned for not meeting modern sensitivities. Instead, here's Cardi B talking about her fanny for 3 and a half minutes"

It betrays a lack of ideas and creativity. No need of it.

Probablywould · 27/01/2025 16:23

Honestly, why though? It's going to get barely any mainstream radio plays due to the sheer amount of bleeps it would require, so what's the point?

don’t really need mainstream radio play esp as a big artist, streaming and it will be used by loads of people on TikTok, shorts etc

Wilfrida1 · 27/01/2025 16:22

I am clutching my pearls AND clenching! It's actual filth!

BertieBotts · 27/01/2025 16:21

Can't stand him, whiny-voiced sex pest.

Puppupandaway · 27/01/2025 16:21

I've just googled it thinking surely it can't be that bad! Omg, I'm disgusted. Bruno Mars what the hell are you thinking?? I haven't heard it, just read the lyrics. What right minded woman would sing those lyrics and what perverted man would sing it? Downright filth.

StinkyWizzleteets · 27/01/2025 16:21

Just googled lyrics, gave me a good laugh.

it’s the world we created people. Slowly we pushed the boundaries until we have this dross. It’s very funny

Never mind, found it

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

Yes. Attached screenshot with instructions .

BottomWibblyWob · 27/01/2025 16:19

Honestly even the song title is embarrassing

Yes, and even if there's a censored version for the radio I'd hate to be the DJ announcing it!

Wigtopia · 27/01/2025 16:09

I had to look up the lyrics and it started off awful, but then I absolutely lost it when read the lyrics “titties on your forehead, titties on your chin” Jesus wept! 😆😆 genuinely can’t understand why or how they came up with these lyrics - must be a wind up 😆

The bit about a milk mustache was worse 😖

TwigletsAndRadishes · 27/01/2025 16:20

And if you think the title's bad, have a stiff drink before you google the lyrics.

FrenchandSaunders · 27/01/2025 16:19

Gone from catching a grenade for someone to that!

Apparently he's in a lot of debt
