I hope that beyond the ‘Explicit Content’ warning mark and the rise of evolving consumer electronics will bring a culture that knows the boundaries of what will be generally acceptable to humanity.One of these days there'll be the definitive retrospective written about how Kelis somehow managed both a solid run of great songs and an impenetrable run of rotten luck. Honestly, listening to these songs is an issue, but talking with the use of the same language and theme will be common in the future is what worries me. Sorry, if the fans and the composers of this song made them feel bad, but I am just worried about how the future would make songs of sexual and explicit language would be normal. If we focus on the type of songs that we prefer listening to, the other ones won’t matter. Like news where truth needs to be told on how it was exactly said.Īt the end of the day, what matters is our song preferences. No double meaning, just refers directly to what it is referring to. Merriam-Webster defines ‘kegel’ (exercises) as ‘repetitive contractions of the pelvic muscles that control the flow in urination in order to strengthen these muscles especially to control or prevent incontinence or to enhance sexual responsiveness during intercourse’. Her unique voice was bringing a sexual power to the lyrics, though it doesn’t compare to the words that were used on WAP.Ĭhecking on the lyrics made me google if the word ‘kegel’ would mean something else, but yes, it is the only widely known meaning for it.

There was a time that my mind can’t stop playing Annie Lennox’s ‘I Put A Spell On You’ from the book to a movie adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. I won’t be a hypocrite, I appreciated songs of sexual themes and I even listen to them through a Spotify Playlist. I guess songs like these are becoming more and more common. Which you will initially think that there could be that milkshake which men will fall in line for. There are songs that could be of double meaning like Kelis’ Milkshake: ‘My milkshake brings all the boys in the yard’. What makes the songs in the past that makes this WAP song different is how a combination of a ‘represented word’ and a description with particularly connotes the ‘represented word’. There was a part that says ‘Sorry but I had to fold her, like a pornography poster she showed her’, remembering that it is the only explicit part of the song that I can directly understand. I was able to memorize ‘Low’ because it was playing endlessly and literally everywhere from radios to mobile phones. Watching FRIENDS made me realize that the song ‘Baby Got Back’ by Sir Mix-a-lot goes ‘way back’ 1992 and mentions ‘big butt’ bundled with something of sexual in nature. My earliest memory of a song widely accepted by people with the same theme is ‘Low’ by Flo-Rida and T-Pain. Songs with explicit content or sexual inspiration are not new. Yes, even the doctors are concerned…in a different way. Googling the lyrics made me laugh, and thought that all of the words in the whole world is already used for them to use these. It hit me when I realized that WAP is an abbreviation. Initially, I thought they were joking about the lyrics of the song. All those twerking and butt-shaking is coming from this song. One of my favorite mother and son combo on Tiktok, ( posted a video asking her mother to read the lyrics of Cardi B’s WAP. The other day, I saw a lot of people twerking while standing, on the floor, in the bed, on the sofa – and thought it was just another trend. It doesn’t even ask you to create an account, just browse away and swipe up for a new video. From being a Chinese-owned company, to banning explicit content, being banned in India, and a billion subscribers that Charli D’Amelio has on this social media platform. The pandemic made me join Tiktok, the most controversial app of this generation. Feeling Sad? You may turn to these songs instead.
