sexist song that you hate

[elshiva]

"Havin' My Baby" x(

[mcctatas]

1. never mind

[HEyHEY]

2. Really? I don't think that's sexist

I think it SUCKS ASS, but for completely different reasons. I think Anka's songwriter was trying to say that it's amazing when a woman chooses you worthy of being the person she will bear a child with. It's better than the very unpopular Connie Francis song, "Shootin' your load in me."

[elshiva]

4. It's sexist because it's "his baby."

It has also been used by the anti-choice people as anthem. :(

[HEyHEY]

7. Well, I think claiming ownership of a baby is something only very naive men do

The rest of us deny that shit until we're forced to take a DNA test.

[elshiva]

8. LOL. :)

Seriously, though, it's a throwback to the idea of men owning women and children.

[HEyHEY]

13. Well, it's funny cause at first I was ready to say

He was just using a phrase, but in reality I can't think of a an instance where a woman would say, "Thanks for impregnating me with my baby." So, yeah, it's kinda cave-dwelling. That said, the other side makes me wonder if it's a phrase because men can't have babies so finding someone willing to spawn your kid isn't a power thing too...

[Ava]

3. don't know if it is "sexist" but it annoys the ever living shit out of me

"stand by your man"

pfft.. if he does "things you don't understand" you throw his ass out on the street. stand by the bus stop mother f'er :rofl:

[elshiva]

6. I love Tammi Wynette, but yes that song was actually

a reaction to feminism. It's an anti-feminist anthem. :(

[Ava]

9. i don't like any of her music, not my cup of tea

but that song just annoys the hell out of me >_<

[elshiva]

10. It should annoy you.

It was written to basically say, "women be quiet and stick by your men come whatever."

[Orrex]

56. Refresh my memory...

Did Tammi stand by her man?

[Sebastian Doyle]

27. How about this version?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGO40cnfGAY

[Ava]

57. nope, still don't like it

;) :hi:

[WildEyedLiberal]

52. lol

:rofl:

[mcctatas]

5. The Fuck Shop...

[eauclaireliberal]

11. Ya know, if the asshole Reaganites had spent more time on REAL ISSUES

2 Live Crew would have faded into obscurity years ago. When the SCOTUS got pulled in, 2LC got free publicity.

Way to go, right-turds.

[mcctatas]

12. It was the sound track to every fraternity party I ever went to...

and aside from horny Greeks, I agree, it's not like it got any major air time!

[elshiva]

14. I've only heard of it.

I've never actually heard it. Youtube does not work for me on this computer so I can only imagine.

[eauclaireliberal]

15. Your'e not missing anything, trust me.

This is a rap band known for other lovely songs titled "Suck My Dick," "Pop That Pussy," and of course, such riveting tunes like "We Want Some Pussy."

:sarcasm:

[mcctatas]

16. and the ever popular...

"Dick Almighty"

Damn, I wish I could go back in time and tell my 17 y o self "get the fuck away from these cretins!, Seriously, go find a nice Engineering major"...

[elshiva]

17. It gives rap music a bad name.

I don't like people who make broad brush statements like "rap music is sexist." What about female rappers?

Anyway, I don't think people talk too much about 2 Live Crew anymore and that's a good thing.

[Sebastian Doyle]

29. The worst thing about the whole 2 Live Crew thing wasn't even their horrible music

It was the fact that it made Mel Martinez and Jack Thompson famous.

[cemaphonic]

61. Wasn't the Supreme Court case about parody/fair use though,

rather than their stupid lyrics?

[XemaSab]

21. My least favorite 2LiveCrew song:

"Don't Tutch the But."

Cotton Mather couldn't have written a more puritanical song. x(

[mcctatas]

22. OMG...

my son must have been channeling 2live crew! :crazy:

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-ssRppY2b4









Tee hee.

[jobycom]

19. No one will click on an unidentified link these days.

And if they do, they deserve the damned song.

[mcctatas]

20. ...

:rofl:

Love Monty Python!

[MrsBrady]

23. "hit me baby, one more time" n/t

[elshiva]

24. Definitely.

I hate that song. :(

[XemaSab]

25. Half of Gwen Stefani's shit

:banghead:

[elshiva]

26. Haven't heard it. Please name an example.

[Dr. Strange]

41. Gwen Stefani...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=6655257

[Symarip]

42. Man...

I wish I was around back then to be part of that thread. Back in the good old days of 1991-1992, I used to know No Doubt loosely. Trust me when I say, calling Gwen Stefani slow is an insult to slow people everywhere.

[Rob H.]

55. 'Family Guy' had a great line about her

Brian finishes watching a VH1 special about Gwen Stefani and then says, "I don't know what a 'hollaback girl' is--all I know is I want her dead." Most annoying song ever, imo.

[wickerwoman]

28. ZZ Top "Legs"

Don't know that it's technically sexist but I find it super-obnoxious.

[Sebastian Doyle]

30. I disagree

I see it as an "empowering" video of sorts. In the beginning the young lady is clearly oppressed by the male assholes and some of the females in both the shoe store and the diner, but after the makeover from the ZZ Top spokesmodels, she comes back and basically tells them all to fuck off when they're fawning all over her. Except for the skinny blonde kid who stuck up for her in the first place.

Kind of a Texas style Cinderella, I guess??

[coyotespaw]

31. The first two I could think of quickly...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c75V2ViIwWI

and

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkuhF5tTjV8

It made me feel icky just looking up the videos for those songs.

[elshiva]

32. What are those?

I don't get Youtube.

[coyotespaw]

33. My bad...

"Men" by the Forrester Sisters, and "Things That Never Cross A Man's Mind" by Kellie Pickler

[elshiva]

34. Never even heard of them.

[coyotespaw]

35. If you ever get the chance to listen to either of them

puncture your eardrums instead. That would be much better than the alternative.

[elshiva]

36. Thanks, I won't.

[Mad_Dem_X]

37. I think it's called "Lightning Strikes"

by Lou Christie. Basically, it's about a guy who tells his girlfriend that he'll marry her "someday" - but in the meantime, he's going to chase other girls. But his girlfriend just needs to be patient, one day he'll settle down, after he's done messing around. :mad:

[raccoon]

38. "Yesterday's Papers," by the Rolling Stones.

While I like a lot of their songs, that one we could have done without.

[Sebastian Doyle]

60. Probably a couple songs on "Aftermath" were worse though

"Stupid Girl" comes to mind. Even "Under My Thumb", when you really listen to the lyrics. I get the feeling that Mick and Chrissie Shrimpton must have had a bad breakup.

[southpaw]

39. "Bitch School" by Spinal Tap! Wait! I like this one!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RCXwy0krNs

[Mad_Dem_X]

40. Meh. I like "Sex Farm" better. nt

[southpaw]

43. Spinal Tap can be sexy all they want!

After all, what's wrong with being sexy?

[Dr. Strange]

44. I get the sense of it...

I just don't understand it.

[fNord]

45. Fancy, By Reba McEntire

I realy cant stand that fuckin song:grr: :nuke: :grr:

[southpaw]

46. I really can't stand Reba fucking McEntire

But yeah... that song is really bad!

Teaching your daughter to be a gold-digging slut...

That's class, right there!

[fNord]

not just that....

but a full fledged streat walking whore
I thout those freeks in the south
were all about family values

[coyotespaw]

48. Not a slut...

A prostitute! Wholesome traditional values like you find in all country songs. I have no idea why women keep singing that song on karaoke night.

[southpaw]

49. Hmmm... I guess I'd have to listen to it again

Nah. Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be... prudent.

[SidneyCarton]

59. Actually "Fancy" is a parable about poverty

It's an awful song, I agree, but it deals with what happens to people when they run out of options. I have always seen it as an argument for welfare, and taking care of the poor, so that such things don't have to happen here.

It's also a critique of middle-class morals, and how they become pointless when you can't afford to eat.

That said, I hate the song too.

[MrCoffee]

47. "Sharp Dressed Man" - Those ZZ Top bastards have it in for us slobs!

Sexist pigs.

[Ava]

58. it's true though

every girl is crazy about a sharp dressed man :rofl:

[ismnotwasm]

50. "She's a Lady"

By Tom Jones, even though back in the day, I didn't mind watching him, or listening to him, sing anything. He was fine. That "she always knows her place" part in that song makes me cringe, no matter what the lyrical intent was.

The sock in the pants rumor destroyed Mr. Jones for me forever. Sad.

[Jokerman]

53. I like that song...

but the line you mentioned always bothers me.

Tom's cover of "Kiss" cracks me up.

[Mad_Dem_X]

63. I loved that song when I was little

Tom was my first celebrity crush. But having really listened to those lyrics (especially "she always knows her place"), I'm not so keen on the song nowadays.

[foxfeet]

51. "I've Never Been to Me" by Charlene

Now a drag queen classic.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

54. "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"

Yeah, I get it, but us guys enjoy having fun, too. Sheesh.

[Phillycat]

62. A sexist song that I love: "Stay with Me" by Faces.

It's a great song, but really sexist!

[Iggo]

64. Ain't No Woman Like The One I Got.

"...I would kiss the ground she walks on,
'Cause it's my word, my word she'll obey..."

That one always bugged me, even when I was little.

[TZ]

65. Barbie Girl by Aqua

Hey being a shallow, materialistic bimbo is a good thing for women right?:sarcasm:

[PVnRT]

67. My wife has it in German

The guy's voice sounds like a Nazi.

[billyskank]

66. The U.S. Male

I don't care that it's Elvis. The song is disgusting and makes me want to puke when I hear it.
