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 🫣

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!

Are you aware of Relax by Frankie?

Howinthehelldidthishappen · 27/01/2025 17:13

What the fuck have i just read

Roxieandthegang · 27/01/2025 17:13

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!!!

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

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

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.

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

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?

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!

Roxieandthegang · 27/01/2025 17:17

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

I've just googled the lyrics 😳

Same. Really wish I hadn't.

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

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

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

What (and I say this advisedly) the actual fuck??

Roxieandthegang · 27/01/2025 17:22

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

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!

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.

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!
