Wait, That's Not Right.. Songs You Didn't Realise Were Dirty

Remember when I wrote about "That Time I... Won Tickets to See O-Town"? Of course you do. So that means you also remember the reaction that was had at learning that the song "Liquid Dreams" wasn't about water. Well, Nini commented on that post and mentioned that she had a similar reaction to the Spice Girls song "2become1." That got me thinking about all the other songs that had alternate meanings to me when I was a kid.

With the help of Nini, and in celebration of Throwback Thursday, we've come up with our own list of those songs!

Songs You Didn't Realise Were Dirty (when you were a kid)

1. Squeeze Toy - Boomtang Boys

 "All my teachers told me it was wrong
for little girls to play with a toy so long
but now its time to put my toys away
and look for fun in a different way
cuz i'm ready for something new
and if you're lucky it could be you"

A "toy"? She's looking for "fun in a different way"? 

Say what?!

2. Get Down - B4-4

"If you get down on me, I'll get down on you.
I will do anything that you want me to.
It's a game of give and take to make it through.
So if you get down on me, I'll get down on you tonight."

This band may be too Canadian for most of you, but I jammed out to them a lot.

Clearly, I had no idea what "get down" meant. 

3. It Wasn't Me - Shaggy

"Honey came in and she caught me red-handed,
Creeping with the girl next door.
Picture this, we were both butt-naked, banging on bathroom floor."

I don't know how I didn't know what this meant.
I must have thought by "banging" they were doing some artistic dance moves.. on the bathroom floor.

4. Everybody - Backstreet Boys

"Am I sexual?
Yeah.
Am I everything you need?
You better rock your body now."

 I love BSB and I always will, but I never realised the meaning behind those lyrics until I was much older (like, last week).

This can be argued that "rock your body" doesn't mean what I think it means..

5. I'm A Slave 4 You - Britney Spears

"I'm a slave for you. (Here we go now)
I cannot hold it; I cannot control it.
I'm a slave for you. (Here we go) I won't deny it, (Yeah)
I'm not trying to hide it."

 Maybe I thought she really wanted to wash his dishes or something?

I did feel uncomfortable when my dad would walk in the room when I was watching that music video though.

6. Hot in Herre - Nelly

"Give that man what he askin for
Cuz I feel like bustin loose and I feel like touchin you
And cant nobody stop the juice so baby tell me whats the use"

I knew this song was dirty, but I thought it was "oh, they're taking off all their clothes because they're hot and now they're naked in the same room with each other" kind of dirty. I really didn't realise the context of the lyrics. "Can't stop the juice"? Ew.

7. Promiscuous Girl - Nelly Furtado ft. Timberland

"Promiscuous girl,
You're teasing me.
You know what I want,
And I got what you need."

I think I was old enough when this song came out to know what it was about, but it still didn't stop me from singing it all the time as if it were completely innocent. 

8. Lady Marmalade - Christina Aguilera ft. Mya, Pink, Lil Kim, Missy Elliot

"Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir"

Okay, really, all the lines in this song are dirty. The french line is a polite way of asking someone to sleep with you. But, I was young and naive and sang my little heart out in my living room to this song.

Then I saw the music video and thought the lyrics might mean things I didn't understand...

Any songs you listened to as a kid that you now realise are dirty?

Go visit Nini Kat to see her picks!

Happy Substitute Friday!

 "No ceiling to my sky, just open space to fly
Every time I'm feeling down, I turn it back around."
- Nicole Scherzinger, Boomerang

Am I the only one super excited to have tomorrow off work? To everyone who has Friday and Monday off work, I envy you. This girl is back to work on Monday. To those of you who aren't off tomorrow or even Monday, I send you my sincerest condolences.

However, since I am off tomorrow, and the other half and I celebrate our four years of being together on Monday (yes, on April Fool's Day. If our relationship is indeed a joke, it's got to be the longest running joke ever), we've decided to take a little getaway. We've been accused of making small things into a big thing, but hey when your boyfriend owns not one, but two small aircraft's you have to go big or go home, right? What's the fun in having two planes if they're just going to sit on the tarmac all year? Plus, life is short and all that other junk. Might as well enjoy it!

Last summer, with his baby

Last night, I did all the important stuff to be ready to go:

* I cleaned
* I did my taxes - all on my own! The first time not using an accountant. I'm so proud.
* I got caught up on the Walking Dead (can we say AMAZING episode?)
* I nearly set the house on fire:

Note to self: Don't put a towel near a burner. A burner with the heat on.

Now that I'm all ready to go, I just have to get through the rest of the day!

And for Throwback Thursday, let's go back to when I was nine:

Yes, I did get made fun of for wearing those glasses.

Can anyone guess where these pictures were taken?

It's hard to tell, but I'm on Saved By the Bell. I'm a superstar. I know.
