5 lyrics the Union think are less offensive than Blurred Lines
Don’t be Thicke. We went to Ugly last Thursday and heard these wise words.
The Students’ Union Council recently voted that the current ban on Blurred Lines from Union playlists should continue as they felt that it didn’t fit with the Union’s zero tolerance policy on sexual harassment or with their anti-sexism policy. Yet every Thursday night the Union is filled with lyrics that are equally, if not more offensive. Perhaps the Union Council haven’t noticed because nobody goes to Ugly.
5. ‘Be my Juliet and I can be your Romeo
If you actin’ menace I can pick another hoe.’
Oh Wee – Mark Ronson and Ghostface Killah
‘What’s in a name? That which we call a hoe by any other word would smell as sweet.’
Romeo, Romeo …
4. ‘Don’t he know Queen Bee got the ill deep throat
Uh! Let me show you what I’m all about
How I make a Sprite can disappear in my mouth … Ho!’
The Jump Off – Lil’ Kim and Mr Cheeks
Thinking about it, we may have misunderstood this one. It might just be a magic trick …
They’re bigger than you think
3. ‘Can’t spit it out, boo you gotta slurp that
Can’t cuddle after we done, it wasn’t worth that.’
Pump It Up – Joe Budden
C’mon man, cuddling is the best bit.
2. ‘You act like your pussy on interrupt
I don’t have no trouble with you fucking me
But I have a little problem with you NOT fucking me.’
Got Your Money – Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Kelis
You almost sound a bit rapey there, Mr Bastard.
ODB luuurves da ladeeez
1. ‘When I met you last night, baby
Before you opened up your gap
I had respect for you lady
But now I take it all back.’
It Ain’t No Fun (If The Homies Can’t Have None) – Snoop Dogg feat. Nate Dogg, Kurupt and Warren G.
None of what? You know what, I don’t want to know.
The one redeeming lyric of the evening came from, who else, but the Beastie Boys with ‘Sure Shot’:
‘I want to say a little something that’s long overdue
The disrespect to women has got to be through
To all the mothers and sisters and the wives and friends
I want to offer my love and respect to the end.’
PREACH.
