So far, our 'Stuck In Our Head' feature has only showcased songs that have been favourably embedded in our skulls. A bit of predictable chart dross here and there has peppered what has otherwise been a set of lovely and excellent little songs that we might otherwise not find a reason to write about. But all that is about to change (cue storm clouds).
The above 'ditty', David Guetta's latest dance smash, is not sonically execrable. In fact, with a different vocalist, a different sentiment and different lyrics, we might even come to feel a certain love for it. But Akon is an artist we have never felt particular fondness for. His proclivity for reducing women to revolving tits-on-a-pole doesn't please us at all, nor does his alleged dry-humping of an underaged girl (we said ALLEGED, SO DO NOT SUE US). Even with his 'sexist' behaviour and attitude set to one side, his nasal, vocodered tones are not 'our bag'. So it is with great sadness that we announce this dreadful ditty to be stuck in our head, because all whinging aside, it has the kind of chorus that could resurrect dead careers, and send disgraced musicians back to the top of the charts world wide.
Anyway, we'll let you judge for yourself as to whether you deem Akon's lyrics to be of the misogynist variety. We, at the very least, find them unsavoury.
"She's nothing like the girl you've ever seen before*Sicks up in mouth*
Nothing you can compare to your neighbourhood whore"
"I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl without being disrespectful
Damn, youse a sexy bitch"
