What Does Rhyme With "Hug Me"?

I have two friends on Facebook that posted about their time at the Train concert. SIGH......Now I know the bible says not to judge and everything. Granted, that's like a part time hobby of mine. Still I think about how I unironically enjoy Lada Gaga, Maroon 5, and Taylor Swift songs.

This past week I switch the radio stations from Hey You to I Knew You Were Trouble and from Hotel California to Blurred Lines


I do not support the Blurred Lines video. At least not the rated version. The one with naked ladies is okay and all. It's no Take on Me or anything. But I heard the song on the radio and like it.


Now for those who think Blurred Lines is "rapey", maybe you should realize that you have to take this song as the joke that it is. My interpretation is this is a guy hitting on his long time girlfriend or wife at home and no one is in on this joke but him and her.

For those who think he's seriously complementing her by saying she's "the hottest bitch in this place" I worry about your relationship history. I have a friend badmouthing this song after the recent Colbert Report (Great episdoe by the way! Watch it now on Hulu!) and I had to take his words with a grain of salt.

He's allowed to badmouth songs he thinks are annoying and I get to do the same. Ewww, Train. But I hope that my friends got their money's worth at the concert.
