Tik Tok

no satire here. she's the real deal. total floozy/bimbo. this song was written from real experience. she is a prime example of "the gimme gimme culture of today in which children go out and drink and have sex without any precaution or care for other individuals." she's no "crusader for faith"<br /> <br /> esquire.com/the-side/qa/kesha-pics-081309<br /> <br /> KE$HA: Okay, for instance, I have a song on my record called "Steven" – I've been stalking this guy since I was fifteen, so it's a song about Steven: "Why won't you call me?" I have a song I wrote the other night called "Take It Off" about when I went to a drag show, and how really turned on I was by these transvestite men taking clothes off. I was like, What does that even make me?<br /> <br /> I'll usually go out, have one fucking insane night, come home half-drunk, stumbling, and write down a few words. The next morning I'll wake up and be like, Whoa, this story needs to be told. Like this single I have out right now, called "TiK ToK": One morning I just woke up, and I live in this house with I-don't-even-know-how-many roommates – it's this Laurel Canyon house with seven rooms and roommates fluctuating monthly.<br /> <br /> ESQ: And what, exactly, is going on there?<br /> <br /> KE$HA: Well it was the house The Eagles recorded Hotel California in. So it's just this huge hippy... There are a bunch of hippies who come in and out, and there are all these people sleeping on the couches. I don't really care, I don't mind it. But I woke up one day after we went to a party, and I was surrounded by ten of the most beautiful women you've ever seen. And I was like, I'm like P. Diddy – there's no man like this in the entire world. So that became the first line of the new single, and we just went from there. It's a daily process in my life.<br />

lizclayton, you are either a comedic master mind or someone in dire need of sterilising

I lol'd at lizclayton.

are you on dope<br /> <br /> see help

How about chill out? Everyone needs to stop making ridiculous exaggerated comments...its just a girl going out to a club and having fun, it's not like this depicts her entire personality.

Don't flame this person. They are totally right. I'm 15 years old and the bus driver on my school bus plays the radio, and when this song comes on, all the girls of course are singing, and when the song ends they all say, almost at the same time--"I so wish I had that." Is that what you want for the kids in America? Please, I would like to know.

You are a major dipstick. She is a crusader of falseness

That was a really good post. After reading through the lyrics, I felt like my IQ may have dropped about 10 points. Thankfully, I think your post brought it back up a few.

i still agree with lizclayton. haha.<br /> I doubt someone that immature could get signed.<br /> The first time I saw the video for "TiK ToK", I was sure "Ke$ha" was just making fun of hedonists like that. <br /> <br /> I mean <br /> Ke$ha<br /> TiK ToK<br /> <br /> look at that<br /> who in their right mind at her age would spell things like that unless they were mocking people who think they're all that. <br /> <br /> <br /> but if sadchild's sources are right<br /> then wow. I have lost even more respect for mainstream culture.<br /> I will now listen me some swimming with dolphins. <br /> because someone seriously needs to sing Sunset 1989 to Kesha.<br /> <br />

Lizclayton, I really hope you are a troll. I REALLY do. If not, well... Then you need to make sure you're listening to the right song.<br /> <br /> fabercastell, you lost everyone at "I'm 15 years old." Besides that, I don't actually understand what you're trying to say here. You are asking us if we want the kids to want this music? Or do we want kids to want to party until 4 in the morning, getting "a little bit tipsy"? The answer is no, to both questions. Regardless, this song is no satire. Ke$ha REALLY is that bad of a role model, and if you don't believe me, look up Noah Cyrus Tik Tok on youtube. Yes, that is a 9-year-old singing this song and pretending to drink.<br /> <br /> Nydneyshoutnever, remember that we're in America, and ruled by money. Of course immature and stupid people get signed by record labels, because they MAKE MONEY. Because Ke$ha brings in the lovely green bills, she can do whatever she wants, like spell something that gets publicized horribly wrong. <br /> <br /> There's a reason record labels don't drop people for stupidity and embarrassment. The more press that's on, say, Lindsay Lohan, the more likely that someone will say "Hey, she's got a new album out, let's listen!" Mainstream culture doesn't care about what's right, or what's smart. It cares about what's profitable, what's popular, and what's pretty.<br /> <br /> Sadchild is right, and if you still have any respect for today's mainstream culture, you have missed something. A lot of somethings.

Love the idea that some posters, who aren't Kesha fans, replied to LizClayton looking to judge the absurdity and excess of Ke$ha's 'lifestyle' didn't catch that LizClayton has obviously crafted a brilliantly dry, sarcastic post implying the song has some implied meaning.<br /> To me the implied subtext is that Ke$ha is ushering a generation of girls towards a lifestyle that will see them spat out the bottom of the porn industry in 10 years.<br /> <br /> Maybe my favourite post, Liz. What a great read. So good that I'm only 98% sure you're being glib<br />
