Embrace the Blonde OR The World Needs a New Brittany

So, I feel like it is my duty to talk about Ke$ha and her new booty bouncing beat, "Tik Tok." Although, I must admit I think quite a few of my brain cells just died as I typed that sentence.

Don't get me wrong, I can enjoy a mindless, infectious pop beat as much as the next 20 something product of the 90's pop craze girl... BUT I just have to ask:

"But we kick them to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger"?!?! Really?! Wow.

First of all, I'm pretty sure Mick Jagger is old enough to be this girl's grandfather let alone her dad and secondly... he's just plain creepy looking. He's always been creepy looking. Even in his hot heyday when all the ladies were chasing him down he was CREEPY!

Let me just take a little detour and explain something about Mick Jagger. He is what you call "sexy ugly." The term "sexy ugly" typically applies to famous people but can also be used to describe anyone who has that certain je ne sais quoi that mere mortals find irresistible even though they are not by any means classically beautiful. "Sexy ugly" is usually how we describe the types of men or women who - if they weren't famous - would not warrant even a first glance let alone a double take unless it was to say "Oh my! That was NOT pretty!"

Another great musical example of "sexy ugly" = John Mayer. I mean, let's be serious here... if he were just another band geek that sat next to you in high school english class you would be like:

"U-G-L-Y

YOU AIN'T GOT NO ALIBI

YOU UGLY

YEAH YEAH

YOU UGLY

WOO!"

And now that I've just made you sing a horrid cheer in your head I'm tempted to quit while I'm ahead but back to Ke$ha it is! This girl is waking up and brushing her teeth with a bottle of Jack. Sacrilege! Not only have I heard stories about friends having to explain "what's Jack?" to prepubescents who are eating up this music like the sugar coated pop it is (thanks Stephanie) but let me just say that, as a big fan of Mr. Daniels... I am APPALLED! You do not brush your teeth with Jack! You savor it. You mix it with Diet Coke (never Pepsi yuck) or you slam it down as a shot and put some hair on your chest! WOO HOO!

So, I guess all I'm really saying is... Ke$ha, hun, you are young and cute but obviously whoever you're letting write your lyrics is doing you a HUGE disservice. Making allusions to a liquor I know you don't drink - she looks like a Smirnoff Ice girl to me... oh yeah definitely bitch beer all the way - does NOT make you hot shit. And referencing an ancient icon does not make you stand out as mature or exotic... it makes you weird.

Stop trying to be Lady GaGa.. as we covered yesterday, that woman is clearly on her way to being the new Madonna and I say YOU GO GAGA! Just be another Brittany or Christina... we're missing them. Trust me, there is a void to be filled and you are just so cute you can do it! Your name is Kesha, for goodness sake, wasn't she one of Barbie's friends? Drop the dollar sign and embrace your hair color!

Until next time, this is Megs reminding you to be on the look out for ridiculous lyrics hidden in your sugar pop or smack down rap... you never know when you might find something absolutely ridiculous and then you'll just have to comment and tell me about it!
