Rihanna ‘S&M’ Song: Inappropes?

richard — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 22:04:01 +0000

Feels so good being bad
There’s no way I’m turning back
Now the pain is my pleasure
Cause nothing could measure

Love is great, love is fine
Out the box, out of line
The affliction of the feeling
Leaves me wanting more

[Chorus x2:]
Cause I may be bad
But I’m perfectly good at it
Sex in the air
I don’t care
I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But chains and whips
Excite me

Back when the song came out, I heard the obvious commentary about it: she’s singing a song about being sexually aroused by getting beat up when her most notable non-performance news maker instance was her getting beat up by her boyfriend. But I heard one radio commentator also call it inappropriate because she’s black and, I don’t know if you’ve heard or not but: black people were slaves at one point. Yawn. Sounds like the lamest race baiting criticism ever but I’ve heard it more than once since then. What are your thoughts?

Shakira She Wolf

When super gay dudes call a piece of media involving female nudity “really hott” and lavish praise on it, I usually know to stay away. Not because they can’t judge female-hottness very well – because they can’t do so in media very well. They’re too easily distracted by special effects, style and sparklie objects.

So when a front line soldier in America’s army of gheay recommended I see Shakira’s new music video for the hot-factor, I was less than enthused. For the previous reason, but also because Shakira always came just short of hot on the rating scale for me 10 years ago, so it sounds impossible that she could pass that mark now.

I started watching out of duty, and although everything seems to be working against this being entertaining and/or sexy: her age (I Googled to find that she’s 32), the theme of the video (werewolf? seriously?…), the techno vibe, the — wtf? – is she popping and locking?? robot dances in a werewolf music video? no.. no, this is all wrong.

Except it isn’t… it’s good. it all works. and it works beautifully.

UPDATE: This version of the song is…also…good?
