| Nelly Furtado – Promiscuous (featuring Timbaland) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Promiscuous is about meeting a guy on a dance-floor and deciding whether to take him home and shag him. Well, unless you’re some kind of moral or religious prude, why not? After all, a one-night stand might be just what you need to make you feel good about yourself. If you’re feeling low on self esteem, a one-night stand can make you feel attractive again. It’ll be a great night of epic sex with no ‘relationship’ complications. You’ll wake up feeling good about yourself, with minty fresh breath, straight hair, and you won’t be embarrassed by a now-sober stranger seeing you naked. I wonder why one-night stands have such a bad reputation? Great song, Nelly Furtado. You didn’t sell out to make a pop hit, did you? |

| Rihanna – Unfaithful Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Reggae star Rihanna sings, “He knows I'm unfaithful, and it kills him inside”. “I don’t wanna do this any more”, she continues, “But I just can’t be true”. Around the net, reviews and comments on her song say something like “What a bitch!” and “He should dump that hoe!” But Rihanna’s song exposes something about the darker side of human nature that we’d rather not admit exists in us… That we continue to do wrong, even when we know it’s wrong. Like Rihanna, we regret what we’re doing. But as the old proverb goes, “A dog returns to eat his vomit”. Something deep within us compels us to do stuff that makes us sick. Yet, we go on pretending we’re not fallen creatures. Because to admit that, would be to acknowledge our need for God’s mercy. And we would rather believe He doesn’t exist. |

| Pet Shop Boys – I'm With Stupid Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Singer, Neil Tennant says; "It's … a satire about the relationship between [Tony] Blair and [George] Bush from Blair's point of view". It’s easy to label someone stupid with perfectly clear hindsight “Oh that was stupid, I wouldn’t have done that!” Well, of course you wouldn’t – now that you know what happened! It’s easy to disparage leaders – not only Bush, but any leader! But we only have the right to do so if we can genuinely, honestly say that we were opposed to their direction at the outset. If we’ve changed sides since the whole thing went bad, that would be hypocrisy, in which case the smartest thing you can do, is bite your tongue. |
