Remember, a while back, I wrote about Sean Kingston's song 'Beautiful Girls'? I think you know the words to that song, he goes on and on about how a girl is so beautiful that she had him "suicidal... suicidal" when she dumped him, or something like that. All I can remember was that he repeated the word "suicidal" like 4,356,159,015 times... (OK, I made that number up, but you get the point!)
So, what is it I find ironic? Brings me to this next song, Edwin McCain's 'I'll Be'... He croons about being there for his girl, singing "I'll be your crying shoulder, I'll be love's suicide..." except, on the radio, they somehow cut and paste a portion of his song, making him sing "I'll be your crying shoulder, I'll be
Another song I came across was Rihanna's 'Unfaithful', better known as the 'murderer' song (to me, at least!). The bridge of her song goes like this: "Our love, his trust, I might as well take a *bleep* and put it to his head, get it over with..." The bleeped out word can be found in Bon Jovi's 'You Give Love A Bad Name' which goes something like: "Oh, you're a loaded gun..." Figured it out yet?
I find our censorship board really funny. They censor things that they think are "harmful" and then give the green light to others which are actually about the same in meaning... I am still pretty irked with "the trappings of love" since I still hear 'Beautiful Girls' ever so often on the radio. They either need to buck up or standardize everything they do, otherwise, it won't ever make any sense.
In the words of Alanis Morissette, "Isn't it ironic, doncha think?"
