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 you've written the verse for my chorus.

Show quote history

That IS the actual verse sadly!

Carpetmoths · 27/01/2025 19:16

I think it’s a nice change to have a song about women enjoying sex compared to the twenty billion songs about men doing so 🤷‍♀️ maybe a bit much for the radio though, haha

😂 also I really can’t help reading that part in a very nursery rhyme voice, like round and round the garden.
titties on your forehead
titties on your chin
titties on the titties of my big titty friends

i think that’s the last line, I can’t do with googling it again

I'm probably just a grumpy old person, but it doesn't even seem like the songwriter has woven a coherent - albeit explicit - lyric line at all.

It's just like some teenagers have been desperately thinking of all the rude words and phrases that they know and just saying and repeating them randomly - not unlike Jay from the Inbetweeners.

WAP was the same.

Agree.

Bum, Willie, Bum, Bum, Willie!

(that's my chorus but the verses will be similar in tone)

Do I get a record contract now?

Alltheyearround · 27/01/2025 19:12

Thanks @LozzaChops101 😂 I am now thinking that I may refer to mine as 'ones boobs'. As in, 'Ones boobs are requiring some freedom after work, due to having been confined in a bra all day.'. I'm not sure that our dear departed Queen would have said it in those words, though she may have thought it a time or two.

I am glad we concur on the Bruno song.

Notodrugs · 27/01/2025 19:10

Urgh, I just googled it 🤢

Bruno Mars has racked up huge gambling debts so he seems to be teaming up with whoever to make some money back. Desperation.

ZebedeeDougalFlorence · 27/01/2025 19:09

I haven't heard it but a young relative talked to me about it and I've read the lyrics. I agree they're really awful. Why do some young women think this is empowering? My young relative certainly doesn't think this song is empowering.

It's hardly Shakespeare, is it?

Titties on your forehead, titties on your chin

Have I been doing sex wrong? What is the purpose of forehead titties?

Considering none of the pearl clutchers in the first few pages would ever go see him live.. you darlings just stick to mannilow. I like the video more than the song.

I've seen both Barry and Bruno, in the same week in the same city.

See, we can do other things at the same time as clutching our earls proudly.

(and it's Manilow, btw).

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.

This. It’s the same with Michael Jackson, I turn the radio off if he comes in. Just can’t get past what he did.

Wasn’t a pop at you! Was just wondering about the grammatical difficulties of writing lyrics about wayward boobs.

Its just pornography. Music has been heading in that direction for a while now after all it is competing with actual pornography for the attention of consumers and so in time it will just devolve into AI generated porn content.

It's going to be a hit this summer I can see babies being made on the back of this song.

Mumsnet can we have a vomit reaction please?

ArabellaScott · 27/01/2025 18:49

Funnily enough, the response on Insta suggests that nobody is impressed.

It's a general 'ugh, put it away, Bruno'.

Bruno Mars gives me weird vibes.

Hazylazydays · 27/01/2025 18:47

That is disgusting 🤮 what a vile mind he must have to think people actually want to listen to that.
