Big Mattress Song of the Week (8/18-8/25)
Rated R- Listen with headphones- or wait until the coast is clearly clear.
Lily Allen is a pop star from England. She is dissing the British version of American neocons- but her lyrics fit like the shoe Americans have been wearing for eight years.
..and for all of you Amy Winehouse fans, a reader reminds me of this interesting duel that has been going on for almost a year between our last two Big Mattress Song of the Week stars!!
Read lyrics below:
Look inside, look inside your tiny mind
and look a bit harder
Cause we’re so uninspired
so sick and tired
of all the hatred you harbor
So you say it’s not okay to be gay
well I think you’re just evil
You’re just some racist who can’t tie my laces
you’re point of view is medieval
Fuck you, fuck you very very much
cause we hate what you do
and we hate your whole crew
so please don’t stay in touch
Fuck you, fuck you very very much
cause your words don’t translate
and it’s getting quite late
so please don’t stay in touch
Do you get, do you get a little kick out of being small-minded?
you want to be like your father
it’s approval you’re after
well that’s not how you’ll find it
Do you, do you really enjoy living a life that’s so hateful?
cause there’s a hole where your soul should be
you’re losing control of it
and it’s really distasteful
Fuck you, fuck you very very much
cause we hate what you do
and we hate your whole crew
so please don’t stay in touch
Fuck you, fuck you very very much
cause your words don’t translate
and it’s getting quite late
so please don’t stay in touch
Look inside, look inside your tiny mind
and look a bit harder
Cause we’re so uninspired
so sick and tired
of all the hatred you harbor
Fuck you, fuck you very very much
cause we hate what you do
and we hate your whole crew
so please don’t stay in touch
Fuck you, fuck you very very much
cause your words don’t translate
and it’s getting quite late
so please don’t stay in touch

Third Nipple? Awesome! More stuff to play with in a mutant sort of way. (You were all thinking it I just said it out loud)

Amy opened the door for a wave of new British women singers.
Mark Ronson is the producer of the moment and started the ball rolling.
That girl, Duffy, is just one of ones who are starting to get airplay.
