BOOBIES

A few days ago, I was driving myself somewhere. Since my regular radio stations were both on commercials, I changed my car radio to KIIIS FM. DJ announced that the next song was a new one from the Pussy Cat Dolls. Now, I do not like those girls. To me, they cannot sing nor have much talent besides being sex kittens and helping the young Americans’ fantasies, but that really isn’t my point here.

As I listened to the song, the chorus struck me so badly that I almost stepped on the break pads to a screeching halt.

I heard the word BOOBIES in the chorus.

They sing about WHAT? I asked myself. Out of all the words in the English language to rhyme the word movies, they picked BOOBIES?

What kind of a world are we coming to?

“When I grow up, I wanna have BOOBIES”???????

First of all, the radio station is geared towards pre-teenagers to young adults, though many soccer moms do listen to the station. The stations beeps out whores, weed and any gun reference, yet they are OK with BOOBIES? Not breasts, BOOBIES.

So, as I drove with this lingering question, I thought how much the music scene has gone down the toilet recently. I mean, if they have to put BOOBIES in their chorus to attract audience, what’s next? Let the N-word and F-bombs to make their premier? Ridiculous, I said to myself. Just fucking ridiculous.

To make sure I was going crazy or having subconcious wanting for breasts, I call Scott. I make him listen to the song (poor thing, he's a metal/hard-core/classical kindda guys).

"You heard it, right?" I said.
"Yeah, I think they did say it," Scott replied.
"They are saying BOOBIES!!!"
"I think so."

Then we listened to the song some more.
"This song makes me want to grow BOOBIES instead of becoming a music teacher, Miyu."

Damn you, Puusy Cat Dolls! I thought.

Just as I was going to bang my head on the wall until the music scene improved, I went on a lyric-search website to check the lyrics.

Then I found out that they were not saying BOOBIES, but they were saying GROUPIES.

But I swear I heard BOOBIES, I argued to myself.

But according to several websites, it was GROUPIES.
Oh.

Oh.

Uhh.
So I sighed in relief but then I was angry again because in the song, it does sound like BOOBIES. They should have made it clearer. Those bitches, I thought. Making this poor college student sweat like that.

So I guess it’s either we need a hearing aid or those cats need to take speech class.

Or Scott and I are both craving some breasts.
