My hopes of thinking that spanking had gone mainstream have been dashed again.
Perhaps some of you have had the misfortune of hearing on the radio a song called "Talk Dirty to Me" by Jason Derulo. If you haven't, you may view the video below for you personal enlightenment.
Important: If you haven't heard the song, listen to it before reading the rest of this post--you only have to listen to the first 45 secs (actually from :30 to :45), and try to decipher what the lyrics are!
So, in the chorus of the song, it sounds like he sings:
Been around the world, don't speak the language,
but your booty gon' need a spankin.'
Now this is definitely not the first time a hip-hop artist has referenced doing something to a "booty," but for the past month, I was under the impression that this song blatantly referenced spanking multiple times (after all, the chorus repeats three times).
Much to my dismay, I discovered the other day that my perverted spanko mind has been mishearing the lyrics this whole time, because it turns out they are, in fact:
Been around the world, don't speak the language,
but your booty don't need explainin.'
What?!
That's stupid--my version is way better.
What did YOU ALL hear when you listened to it? I suspect I'm not alone in this.
