Part 12: Dirty Hook
This is also the last entry in this series. Off topic tunage will continue next Thursday.
Songs dealing with off-color topics are nothing new. Some are put together with non-objectionable language so as to be innocuous or so that only those on the inside or who are ‘hip’ enough can figure them out. Some are even just so cheery that the radio can’t help but play them.
The 70’s hit ‘Afternoon Delight’ falls in that category.
Others get right to the message and don’t care who thinks what or about airplay, like today’s tune. Some even hope that they get stern looks from the anti-Dirty Hook Movements so as to get the highly sought after ’bad press’ that isn’t all that bad.
I don’t know the motives of today’s artists and frankly, I don’t care. I bought their second album for a different tune and it included this song. I was at my favorite ‘import shoppe’ a couple months later, saw the remix single and bought it.
Yes, there are plenty of dirtier or ‘nastier’ songs out there in the music world, but I don’t know that there are even a handful that have the hook this one does. And “The Hook� is what this series is about.
Like I said last week, don’t go downloading and listening to this at work, unless you have a private office or work at a strip club. In the case of the latter, you’ve probably heard this one already.
So here we go:
Basement Jaxx – Get Me Off (2002 Club Mix)
Caution: Should not be downloaded by fathers of teenage daughters. Their boyfriends probably don’t deserve the hell you’ll be wishing to inflict upon them after listening to this.
There is actually another version of this song I find just a bit too objectionable for public release on RNS. No, I’m not letting Professor Booty post either of them, you’ll have to go buy the single yourself, ya perv.
Oh, and any woman who needs to ask this emphatically, needs to find a new guy.
