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 🫣

Not the point of the discussion but 'boobs out of doors' is too superb to not mention!

The poster I responded to said that's the reason why Robin Thicke was cancelled. The discussion was at the time that the video should not be parading women around half naked. He was objectifying women. The song Bruno Mars has put out is a video of lyrics singing about sex that's it. There is nothing offensive about it. It is relavebt to the conversation.

There’s not much money to be made in selling music these days due to streaming. Artists make their money through gigs, merchandise, brand tie ins and followers on the gram. For this they need ‘engagement’ so some try to shock to get this.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this song is flopping and OPs on the PR team trying to drive awareness and confect outrage to drum up more listens and opinion pieces.

If this doesn’t work they’ll probably get Bonnie Blue to be in the video.

These type of songs are so try hard to shock they are actually boring and cringe.

Sexy Red is not even a real rapper. The whole things is stupid and embarrassing for everyone involved. I’m guessing a Bruno’s career is washed up and he’s becoming desperate.

Do you think he means “titties on one’s forehead, titties on one’s chin?” 🙃

it's sexxy red singing that, not bruno.

No idea. Part of me actually doesn't want to know. I 'm not sure if you think I'm posh but I am solid working class. Not prudish and had plenty of sex in younger days - enough for a lifetime. I don't disapprove of sex.

I just think porn content/culture has become far too mainstream - and it affects children and teen expectations. I think it gives them a much less healthy sex life and mental health around how they see their own and other people's bodies.

Making a quick buck on that is something I find 100% morally corrupt.

I was shocked by a Sabrina Carpenter song recently. Her fans are mostly young teens. Why does everything have to be so pornbrained these days?

Me too, thought it was hilarious, she's all dolled up (like a carry-on film) and coyly batting eyelashes, 'with my makeup on', playing it all sweet and girly, then suddenly swears like a navvy. Dead classy. Awful vapid role-model for girls.

Also noticed her video is glorifying the bad boy image, but apparently she didn't like the drunken behaviour in real life.

Years ago I had a row with an idiot mother who allowed her 5 year old child to learn the words of his son 'Lazy'.

I found it repulsive to watch a small child gyrating in the style of an adult dancing and singing, 'Meet a really nice girl, have some really nice sex'

In the absence of any talent they have to resort to making sexually explicit songs .

Some people like songs like that. It doesn’t mean any one is absent of talent. You sound like a right one.

PS - I do agree with your point about the child though. But, it’s not down to artists to make PG songs - parents seem to take less and less responsibility for their children.

Who said she has to be a role model? I’m the same age as her and love her music. Presumably she isn’t thinking much about being a role model. It’s like when Miley Cyrus shedded her Disney star image and everyone was aghast.

Pussy like weed, pussy like dope
Pussy like cocaine, put it up your nose
Ayy, slob on my clit, suck on my toes
Twenty-four karat, pussy drip like gold (Ooh)
Throw my legs back, eat my booty from the front (Mm)
Milk mustache on your face when I cum (Yeah)

me and the 10yr old had a little sing along on the way to school this morning

Well I’m working class and a giant prude, I think it’s gross 🤢

merediththethird · 27/01/2025 18:41

Sad that everything’s so pathetically sexualised now (engagement! metrics! make it gross because clicks are money!) and at the same time young people are actually having less sex.

It’s almost like the marketing men are killing a whole generation’s libido and appetite for IRL sex. Well, them and pornhub I assume.

They’re just desperate for us to be outraged and I refuse to be. I find this generation way more restrained than ours actually. Apart from the ones in the porny bikini thong things, most kids round my way are actually going the opposite way. Clothes look so comfy - hoodies, flats, everything baggy - compared to the stupid little heels and boob tubes I used to fall out of circa 2005. Gives me hope, it does!

The man editing the lyrics didn't know what it is.

he couldn't find it in the song

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.

catlover123456789 · 27/01/2025 18:48

Bruno Mars gives me weird vibes.

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'.

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?

glassglob · 27/01/2025 18:50

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.

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