What’s that, celebrity gossip world? Nothing much is going on so you’re going to force me to write a Ke$ha story two days in a row? Well, that’s quite the burden, but I suppose I can manage.
As if Ke$ha’s first album wasn’t enough of an eternal gift to the world of music, she’s all set to release a follow-up, Cannibal, in a couple weeks. I’m expecting another album full of anthems for liquor and clubbing, but it looks like things have gone a little darker this time around, and some people are not into it. Not even a little bit.
Here are some of the lyrics to the title track:
“Whenever you tell me I’m pretty/That’s when the hunger really hits me/Your little heart goes pitter patter/I want your liver on a platter/Use your finger to stir my tea/And for dessert I’ll suck your teeth/Be too sweet and you’ll be a goner/Yeah, I’ll pull a Jeffrey Dahmer.”
You can listen to the song here (sidenote: listen for Ke$ha to use the word “anus,” it’s classy stuff) and let me know what you guys think. Personally, I can see why people are upset – Dahmer’s not really a guy you want to bring up in your popular music – but I’m not so up in arms myself. I mean, it’s not like she’s treading in GG Allin waters or anything.
I like this. Not the lyrics, at all, but the chorus is, well, pretty. I’d dance to it at a club, I know that much
Yeah….just listened to it…and seeing as Jeffrey Dahmer actually did try eating the remains of his victims I can see why she finds it relevant, but its completely tasteless and disgusting. She needs a new songwriter. I’m sure the families of Dahmer’s victims will just love this priceless gem of a lyric.
Also the chorus drove me nuts. Shouldn’t it be “I am a cannibal” not “I am cannibal”? o.0
