A selection of lyrics from the top 40 says a lot about popular culture's attitudes I think.
No. 1 = LMFAO Party Rock Anthem
In the club Party Rock
Lookin for ya girl?
She on my jock
Nonstop when we in the spot
Booty movin weight like she own the block (...)
YO I'm runnin through these hoes like drano (...)
Step up fast
And be the first girl to make me throw this cash
We gettin money don't be mad
Now stop, hatin is bad
No.3 - Beautiful people - Chris Brown (Very publicly severely beat Rihanna but did some community service so all is forgiven
)
Don?t you know don?t you know
You?re beautiful don?t you know
...ad nauseum
No. 4 - Snoop Dogg & David GuettaSweat (David Guetta Remix)
I can tell she's thirsty
I'm in the whoa like a birdy
Whatcha wanna do tonight?
It's still early
Wanna get some tonight
She's all sturdy
I'm in I'm in
Like a cigarette
She wanna quit
I just wanna make you sweat
I wanna make you sweat etc etc etc
No. 5 - Bruno Mars - Lazy
Tomorrow I'll Wake Up Do Some P90X
Meet A Really Nice Girl Have Some Really Nice Sex
She's Gonna Scream Out "This Is Great!" (Oh My God! This Is Great!)
No. 6 - Wretch 32 - Unorthodox
Yea I?m a good guy
And if you heard otherwise it?s a true lie
I?m hype I don?t do shy
I bark up every tree and I do bite
Syke I?m only playing
We all got freedom of speech I?m only saying
No. 7 - Katy Perry - E.T.
They say be afraid
You're not like the others
Futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you
Your from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go
Lead me into the light
[Chorus]
Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction
No. 10 - Beyonce - Who Run The World
I think I need a barber
None of these hoes can fade me
Im so good with this,
I remind you im so hood with this
Boy im just playing, come here baby
Hope you still like me, If you hate me
My persuasion can build a nation
In this our, our love we can devour
You'll do anything for me
No. 11 50 cent - Buzzin
Man I feel like money (man I feel like money)
They?re attracted to me
They come around like honey (they come around like honey)
Cuz I?m fly like a bee
Man I got ?em all buzzin? buzzin? (...)
I?m a magnet to money, the paper is where I?m at
They attracted to me, they treat me like Pimp C
I?m a P-I-M-P yo chick just chose me
No. 14 Rihanna - S&M
Oh, I love the feeling you bring to me, oh, you turn me on
It's exactly what I've been yearning for, give it to me strong
And meet me in my boudoir, make my body say ah ah ah
I like it-like it
Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me
Women, sex, money. I got bored after that.
