I can’t get the rhythm right because I’m so used to “brick house”, but “brick shit house” also works. It’s nice, evenly spaced, and on the beats. I’m just not used to it because I’m so used to the other way.
You make a good point, we need to have both the emotion and reason otherwise we either look like robots or infants when we try to communicate. I like how you said it though.

Well, she’s concerned with what kids can hear on the radio, which was probably a lot easier to control in the '30s. This young mom would likely prefer a return to the '50s.
The innocent 1950s. When kids could hear songs like “Sixty Minute Man” and “Work with Me, Annie.” Which are explicitly about fucking.

I wonder if she’s ever heard of this little ditty?

Billy Ward and the Dominoes, and Hank Ballard and the Midnighters respectively. Classic stuff.
I like this:
Aerosmith covered this, but I prefer the original:

“My Handy Man” is very much in the same vein:
This thread has made realize that the radio station I want is one that plays all the old-timey raunchy stuff! Wouldn’t that blow some people’s minds . . .

The vegetable puns remind me of this one.
The lyric is “Veronika der Spargel wächst”, but something besides asparagus is growing.
The rest of the lyrics seem to be about grandma and grandpa having sex outside 
I heard a pretty positive review of her new release on the radio the other day. It… didn’t do much to convince me… I’m just sayin’, maybe she’s not so ‘back in the day’ after all.
Um… the song didn’t actually say anything positive about abortion did it?
It said hos need them. Saying abortion is needed is kind of supporting it, albeit obliquely.
“Baby One More Time” came out 18 years ago. That song is old enough to have given birth.
To have a what, 4 year old, 3 year old?
“Built like a brick shithouse” means uncommonly well built. People don’t often go to the effort of constructing outhouses with brick, they’re usually ramshackle wooden affairs, so a brick one is notable.

Vince Staples is one of the most clever people around, who has expressed some of the most fascinating, conscious things I’ve heard come out of musical culture. This NPR interview with him was incredible, and stunned the interviewers with the depths he was plumbing and the way he expressed his philosophy.
STAPLES: It’s funny. I was talking with my friends and they was like, “Man, you think all this” — all the things that keep happening with race relations — “You think it’s ever going to be over?” I was like, “No. Because it’s always going to be a argument.” Because you’re trying to force people to relate to things they know nothing about.
You gotta think about it like this. This is just my question. And I understand that race plays a part in everything. I understand that money plays a part in everything. I understand that situations and family play a part in everything. But when someone dies, and you’re looking in the face of a white person and saying, “They just killed a black man,” and you expect them to relate to that, that’s a problem. Cause they don’t know what it’s like to be a black man. They never will. They can’t. They can pretend they do. “Oh, that’s wrong.” You don’t know what that feels like.
You remove, “Oh, they just killed a person. They just killed a father. They just killed —” That’s in the back burner. We want — we tend to separate ourselves in search for equality, and it’s past race. We want to separate ourselves, but be held in the same regard as the people we’re trying to disconnect ourselves from.
Within hip-hop music, we want to be the biggest s*** ever, but we don’t want to take responsibility for the things that we say. We want the pop sales and the pop marketing and the pop advertisements. But you refuse to not say certain things. You refuse to not over-glorify drug culture, but we want to be equal.
But at the end of the day, if we strip all these things and let all these things die off as far as the labeling and the miscommunication and we all start in the sense that we’re all people — and this is my perspective on the life that we all live — we’d be in a much better space.
Also, evidence of his hilarity:
“Bill Nye is the reason all these kids know how to proportion their lean. He taught us the algorithms.” /losing it
