I had to stop the song less that a minute in, but I will point out that in addition to the Minnie Mouse hairbow, she also has Amy Winehouse eyeliner.
I don't care if this makes a terrible comment thread.
You're a bad neighbor!
I feel like my ship has long sailed on ever possibly being badass, but it sure would be fun to swap places with someone like this for a day.

Now I thought you said the opposite in the "Women do dumb stuff."
Well, modulo one space, in this comment.
Gucci Gucci Louis Louis Fendi Fendi Prada? That's nearly as catchy as 'A Pizza hut, a Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut'.
In other musical news, All Time Low's new album came out today so I indulged Kid B and we listened to it (all the way through twice) whilst driving Kid B to Spanish and back. (Yes, it's a long way away.) That has to get me good mother brownie points.
There was an independent comic book in the '80s (don't judge me) in which, in the distant, interplanetary travel-as-jaunt future (one of the best stories begins with the protagonist's alien prizefighter friend suggesting "a drinking man's tour of the galaxy"), the Gucci brand has become a corporate clan of assassins.
I like Heebie's music posts, because they always have fun stuff I wouldn't have heard otherwise.
Also, that Kreayshawn is quite attractive.
Do the parents here allow their kids (how old?) to listen to music with "bitches" or niggers" in the lyrics? I like hiphop, but basically think three times before putting something on my ipod or a car disk, my son is 10.
Separately, any other telenovela fans here? How do people get at them? Netflix just doesn't offer them.
Is Kreayshawn the one with the minnie bow? 'Cause I think the Garth Algar lady is actually more lovely.

My advice doesn't count as a parent, since I'm not there yet. But my plan is: they can listen to whatever they want (possibly not around me, though), but I want to discuss the parts of it that are complicated.
Would you ban a book that was hopelessly misogynistic?
11 really means that "separately"
14: I let my hypothetical kids watch telenovelas, but only the ones with chingón and huevona in the script.

Bad news, heebie: you're a parent.
11.1 I played a Black Panthers documentary for almost-16-year-old Rowan last summer and admit that some of the "up against the wall, motherfucker!" was a little uncomfortable to watch with him, although at least it was educational and corrected some of the mis perceptions he'd been insisting were the whole truth.
(Oh boy, maybe I should bring this up in the transracial parenting class I have to take tonight! I can't believe I haven't won any Foster Parent of the Year awards yet.)
We talked about race a lot with him and I know he listened to misogynistic rap and had grown up in a majority-black neighborhood where he'd faced some race-based bullying as a white kid. I think if he'd been younger than high school when we met him, I might have been pushier about the rap. As it is, I made a little statement about how the ways you talk about people can both shape and express how you think about them and he knew what I meant. But this was music he was choosing. I think we'd err on the side of caution with our own music.
I was going to say that I shield my daughters from misogyny as much as I can, but then I remember that I've let them watch The Magic Flute, so maybe I'm not such a great example.
To his credit, he reportedly pissed off his fellow Masons by having Pamina accompany Tamino through the purification ritual, but the Queen of the Night is a stone bitch. Not stone like the guy in Don Giovanni, but you know what I mean.
There are many benign telenovelas, penche cabrons.
There's a real upper limit to how much you can say to a kid on any single day. My music suggests editorial approval in a way that a book or a show we watch together doesn't. Yes, there are certain cartoons (those that approvingly depict super=bratty kids, mostly) which I ban. If I had say Robert E Howard or something else plausibly absorbing kicking around, I'd hide it for a few years yet, yes.
I know that he listens to me sometimes (beyond pick up and do your homework), no idea if it's 30% or 60%. An explanation longer than 3 sentences on a topic that bores him will not sink in, though.
Basically, I think that my low taste in music is something to hide, like smoking.
the Queen of the Night is a stone bitch
But she can sure hit those high notes.
I understand classical music much, much better ever since I hired an oboe consultant.
22: This one sure can, but the last one I saw live was less successful.
That's nearly as catchy as 'A Pizza hut, a Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut'.
But neither one is as catchy as the Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.
(There is a combination KFC and Taco Bell a block from our house, so I usually find myself changing the words in my head.)
I didn't realize until I actually read the lyrics (with helpful commentary!) that this was an anti designer/label anthem. Interesting. Though I'm not sure it's part of any broader rejection of materialist excess, what with the celebration of "swag" later in the song.
Is Kreayshawn the one with the minnie bow? 'Cause I think the Garth Algar lady is actually more lovely.
They're both cute, but god, I am so sick of those huge black plastic glasses. I was sick of them in New York, sick of them in Heidelberg, and I'm sick of them here in SF. PLEASE GO AWAY.
But neither one is as catchy as the Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.
What? I'm at the Pizza Hut. What? I'm at the Taco Bell.
I'm at the commmbination KFC and Taco Bell.
Of course, in my stupid head, it changes to "I'm at the taco hut! I'm at the pizza bell! I'm at the combination taco hut and pizza bell?"
What, head? Those aren't even things.
Pizza Bell is Stringer Bell's long-lost Italian-American cousin, slated to appear in the forthcoming season six of The Wire.
Taco the Hutt got scratched after Lucas got stung with accusations of racism over Jar Jar Binks.
Also sometimes it changes to "Taco Butt" and "Pizza Hell".
god, I am so sick of those huge black plastic glasses
Even *I* took note of them back in 2009, so you know they're way, way past their prime by now.
Das Racist is really one of the best on the planet right now, and they truly haven't gotten sick of arguing with white dudes on the internet.
since there hasn't yet been a link to Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, for the uninitiated.
20: And Papageno and Papagena seem to have a truly companionate partnership.
I just now watched the OP video. "I'm rolling up my catnip and shitting in your litter" is an inspired lyric.
I like the anti-label sentiment, and the Minnie Mouse hairbow is awesome (sort of a mocking overextension of the bandana). I also like that's not pseudo-ironic "hey look we're white hipsters rapping," thank God for that.
I do not, however, believe that she has her hand on the pump. Unless it's a gas pump. And this is very contemporary crunk and not "original Chronic sounding" at all -- a couple of P/G-funk samples can be briefly heard at certain points, but that ain't the same thing -- and Heebie totally tricked me by putting that in the OP, just like Hannibal always used to trick Mr. T into getting on the plane. Damn you, Hannibal.
It was still pretty good though. She's lyrically clever. And it's quaint that she and her DJ/hype-girl seem to have that old-school Ice-T / Evil-E hero-and-the-sidekick relationship going on.
Huh. You can see my old apartment in that video.
12 only deviates from being exactly right by not being nearly strongly stated enough.
Neither 41 nor 42 surprises me in the least.
41: you live in LA. Isn't your old apartment in everything?
But Kreayshawn is from Oakland, isn't she?
She relocated from Oakland to LA after she did an unsolicited commercial for The Hundreds, I think.
42: Kreayshawn's Garth-girl is lovelier, but it's no contest who has more charisma.
Regardless of where she's from, this video was very obviously filmed in LA, and the cinematography serves to really emphasize that to a greater extent than in most of the many other music videos that are filmed in LA.
but it's no contest who has more charisma.
Her moderately awkward dancing is part of the charm, of course.
Caroline likes Lady Gaga, so I made an edit of The Fame Monster that cut out the songs I thought were inappropriate. I wound up cutting several songs because I thought they were too materialistic, or at least come off as materialistic if you just listen to the chorus. I also cut out the "disco stick" song. I'm a marshmallow, though, so now the only song she's not allowed to listed to is the "disco stick" one.
We also watched Airplane! with the kids, thinking that the inappropriate jokes would just go over their heads. It turns out that was all the jokes, so they were just bored.
Oh, my kids watch and listen to all sorts of inappropriate stuff. I'm slack as fuck on such matters.
Actually, last week I made Kids A and B start watching The Wire with me.
I also cut out the "disco stick" song.
Heh. Cassidy sings that song.
my kids watch and listen to all sorts of inappropriate stuff. I'm slack as fuck on such matters.
Here too.
My four-year-old spent an hour last night jumping on the bed while chanting the Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell song. His mother is not pleased with me.
People who refuse to believe she's from the hood is maybe sort of telling. Poor black people are at least allowed to be creative.
53: I for one didn't say I refuse to believe she's from the hood. She may well be from all manner of hoods. I said I don't believe she has her "hand on the pump." She does not sell that line. (As a rule, only a tiny minority of rappers say that sort of thing and actually mean it, including the poor black people ones.)
Long dead thread, but... wasn't directed at you, just random crap I read on the net.
