Things Video Hits taught me this week.
(Creepy and Disturbing Edition)
1. Jesse McCartney has a new song. This would usually be bland, not disturbing. Unfortunately, Jesse McCartney seems to wish to prove to everyone that he has grown up since Summerland. He co-wrote "Bleeding Love", the Leona Lewis song, and now he wants everyone to know he is a 'man'. He says he is a man several times in his new song "Leavin'".
He still looks 13 though, inexperienced and innocent, and you feel perverted watching the clip. It is almost like spying on younger neighbours. Still here is the clip for your pervy enjoyment: http://www.youtube.com/user/jessemccartney?ob=4
2. Lady Gaga's song "Just Dance" is the delightful ubiquitous song about getting so drunk you can't remember where you are. The break down towards the end of the song sounds like a dirtier outtake from Gwen Stefani's "Hollerback Girl". Also in that part of the clip is a few shots of her straddling a plastic dolphin in a kiddy pool. That's not hot, it's creepy!
The breakdown comes in at about 3.25 and the dolphin at 3.00
3. Taylor Swift is the girlfriend of one of the Jonas Brothers. She's a country singer.
Now, forgive me if I'm wrong, but if you watch the clip:
And read the lyrics:
It sounds as if the two characters in her Romeo and Juliet story have been having pre-marital sex. (Which we know Joe Jonas won't do. Purity ring and all) So her Daddy (and the song does say Daddy, numerous times) gets seriously annoyed at young Romeo and tells him to "Leave Juliet alone". Eventually he does, then she gets lonely and lovesick and goes for a walk, runs into him, and he proposes, having got the permission from "Daddy" first.
Not exactly the perfect love story you would want an 18 year old devout Christian to be wishing for. Of course, the other possibility in this song is that Romeo and Juliet are good Christian Soldiers and Daddy is a creepy, spying, murderous psychopath who thinks too much of his daughter's purity.
The more I think about it, the 2nd option seems to be it. Particularly with the paranoid lyrics about wanting to "get away" and "out of town". Poor Romeo and Juliet...
Apart from watching too many music videos I had a birthday this week. And no, I'm not saying this so people have to say "Happy Birthday" to me! I was 20, so I now have no excuse for irregular sleeping patterns, Goddamn it! I got some clothes, a gift voucher, a tapestry and something I'm yet to receive from a friend.
I think I have fixed the comments here at Cuckoo HQ (which I'm only saying because it's really fun to say out loud) so if you have tried to post, please post again. If there are still problems hit me on Facebook.
