Yay, more rants about crappy songs with crappy morals.

I'm assuming we all know the ditty I'm referring to, the one with Nelly Furtado trying to revive her career by wearing less clothing and prancing around with some rapper who's calling her 'promiscuous' like it's a compliment. Which is what I'm wondering about.

Just to clarify.

Promiscuous:

1. Having casual sexual relations frequently with different partners; indiscriminate in the choice of sexual partners.
2. Lacking standards of selection; indiscriminate.
3. Casual; random.
4. Consisting of diverse, unrelated parts or individuals; confused: "Throngs promiscuous strew the level green" (Alexander Pope).

So in general terms, the word means slut. And i'm wondering, if this song went along the lines of 'you slut, let me bang you' it wouldn't be half as popular. Yet because the word is 'promiscuous', that somehow makes it totally great. Actually, it probably wouldn be just as popular, come to think of it.

I don't know, maybe more syllables equals more dignity?

But then, i suppose most fans of this song wouldn't bother finding out the meaning of the word anyway right? It's popular, therefore it must be GOD, and noone must question the almighty chart music. Obviously.

Personally, I'm quite shocked that a song such as this actually contains a word over two syllables. But there you go.

Stay in school kids.
