I’m an alcoholic whore, isn’t that hilarious, artistic, and worthy of plaguing the masses?
I saw the rapid climb of Ke$ha’s single and her obvious inability to spell anything correctly as ‘Tik Tok’ began taking over the iTunes charts. I continued to ignore its existence as I thought it was something that could only be the result of the purest of evils. It wasn’t until I actually heard the song that I knew my suspicions were warranted.
I, more than most, understand why this song is popular: It has a hook, it’s got a good beat and it can be fun to dance to - and God knows that the majority of Orange County and the Jersey Shore have adopted it as an autobiographical anthem and justification for their black roots not-so-subtly disguised under platinum highlight clumps. The lyrics, and Ke$ha as a sorry excuse for a human, is what has me reeling about Tik Tok. Actually, it was even just the Long Duck Dong sounding “Everybody gettin’ crunk [crunk]” line that set me over the edge.
First, I read the lyrics, as listening to them in the actual song made my brain hurt and my dog scream.
Next, I came across an interview with said offender. I probably could have led this rant with this video and it definitely would have encompassed everything I have highlighted so far, albeit in a much less enjoyably verbose and eloquent manner.
It is with this that I say, that’s enough, Ke$ha.
