Sex & Shenanigans

[MindYaBitness]

its most definitely rapey, and im old af,

Like so many things, it comes down to tone and context

funny and poignant! it's 4 am so I can't sing out loud but i'm sitting here like whisper singing and waiting for the human hours to roll around so i can get into the shower and sing tegan and saras Clever Meals with some real chest voice....

it's musical edging. torture. whaaaaa

My love react is for your musical choices and your edging adorableness… not your insomnia

Just poking my head in to say @MindYaBitness's avatar pic might be the best thing on Lit these days.
Good night, everyone!

Do you sing it normally or with a very exaggerated accent?

I’m usually just mumbling without realizing it

I love that song. I know that younger generations think that it's kind of rapey, but I just think it's flirty and cute.

Because they are misinterpreting what’s going on

I'm glad it brings you joy

Lmao @ you finding that gif

It’s not rapey, she’s pretending to not want to stay because of decorum, but she wants to stay.

Musical edging, that's an excellent term. That's how I felt watching Wicked in the theater and not being able to sing along! "Defying Gravity" was torture!

Are you going to go see it again at one of the sing along showings?? I might

oh, i in the "bill cosby" sense know exactly what is going on...its late, its cold, drink this, you dont want to go, itll be nice if you stay...stranger danger!

It’s the patriarchy NOT rapey

You should! I know you seen this but it’s so truth.

Absolutely!!!! And I'll harmonize with Glinda's solos, where there is no harmony, and Sing Elphaba's part at the top of my Lungs!

When I said people don’t understand what’s she’s singing

When that song was written, single women weren’t supposed to want to stay the night with a man, so she’s fake protesting, again, for decorum.

I agree with this. I think being uncomfortable with it and not liking it is a perfectly reasonable reaction and I won’t argue with you. Especially if you have had drugged drinks in your past.

But I’ll also love Zooey Deschenel singing it on my own time.

I will be singing every single line that I know
But I know I’m not great so I’ll keep my volume respectful and leave the belting for my car

I'm usually harmonizing with whatever I'm blasting on my speaker

Same! except replace harmonizing with butchering

It’s just better if we all agree with @MindYaBitness

im mostly teasing, i dont feel strongly one way or another...i just think its funny...and its also undeniable that the lyrics can certainly be interpreted nefariously
