| Katy Perry – Ur So Gay Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Oh wow peeps need to take a chill pill. I'm sort of on the fence with this song. I don't think she's in any way intentionally being homophobic; she's using a stereotype to complain about how a stereotypically "gay" boy she liked "acted so gay" when he wasn't even "gay". I think that her using the term in this context is perpetuating the stereotype but in the end I think that it's an indication of the times we live in where that's the way that A LOT of people think even if it's not really factual. I have to say I really find it hilarious that there are people coming on here and whining about how she's being offensive and mean to vegetarians and whatever... I mean seriously!?! She's not talking about actual vegetarians, or environmentalists, or people who read or listen to classical music. She's talking about fake people who are so fake and pompous and superficial that they pretend to be into that stuff because they think it makes them look cool and "deep". Anyways! The real reason I came on here is related to the ACTUAL PURPOSE of the site, you know song meanings? Did anyone else notice that "You're going through some kind psychological change in your life" is a reference to Venus Xtravaganza in Paris is Burning (1990's documentary about drag queens)? |

| Jason Mraz – Geek In The Pink Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
While this song is certainly "about" a multitude of things (laundry washing, acceptance, sexuality, etc) It's based on a time when he was involved in an impromptu recording session in Miami with beatmaker Scott Storch. "I showed up at the studio and we don't even know what we're gonna do," Mraz recalled. "Then Scott came up with this crazy loop and the room just became filled with MCs that just started flowing. And here I am, this skinny little white kid wearing this pink polo shirt, just feeling totally awkward. I probably looked like the biggest nerd in there." |
