2.) Analyze a popular song you heard on the radio…what exactly does it all mean?
I’ve been thinking about Jennifer Lopez.
How come when women grow up and have babies it’s no longer appropriate to drink alcohol and dance to the top forties in a dingy bar? Mothers aren’t supposed to behave in such a manner. It’s inappropriate and gosh darn it what kind of example are we setting for our children?
So one inappropriate and wild evening I got to thinking…why is my night out inappropriate but freaking Jennifer Lopez, who’s 43, can do it for a living and be applauded for it? I dance to her music in a dingy bar when I should be home with my kids, but she’s MAKING the music!
If J. Lo can do it…I can do it, right? That is how I justify my maturity level.
When J. Lo says to “Dance the night away Live your life and stay young on the floor” while singing On The Floor with a rapper by the name of “Pitbull” I listen dammit.
And when Pitbull says to “pump it up and then back it up like a tonka truck” I intend to do so in a guilt free fashion. Is there any other way to back it up??
When Jennifer says “Don’t stop keep it movin’ put your drinks up” you will find me waving mine proudly in the air. Oh hell yes Ms. Lopez. I’m right there with you.
And when she follows that verse up with “pick your body up and drop it on the floor” I might hesitate slightly because that sounds painful as well as physically impossible, but I’m not one to let a good party down. I will give it my best.
I will dance the night away lalalalalalala…because Jennifer says it’s okay.
And when Pitbull says “That badonka donk is like a trunk full of bass on an old school Chevy. Seven tray donkey donk, All I need is some vodka and some chunka coke And watch and she gon’ get Donkey Kong.”
I will let his lyrics resonate in my soul and I’ll think…Damn I’m old.
And then I’ll go home.
Donkey Donk?
wtf “Pitbull”.
