I kissed (a girl) and the censors doesn't like it
I'm sure the lot of you who doesn't live in a cave (I've been made aware that there are some out there) would have heard this very recent inane hit with lesbian tendencies.
This is one hit which obviously rides on the taboo and kinky nature of select human sexuality to generate some sophomoric appeal, especially considering some girl on girl action is the new pink. Just ask Tina Tequila.
Therefore, I'm utterly surprised that they would actually play the song as a hit here, when it's completely stripped of its essence.
There is nothing catchy about the melody in general, especially when two very important words in the lyrics were 'dropped'. What's left brings to mind an awkward silence one experiences when riding an empty elevator with a partner who caught you in bed with someone else.
Not fun.
At all.
Sometimes I really wonder how much crap our media force feed us. Seriously, we really do not need to lap everything up just because it originates from cool central. Just once, if the original is not attainable, we're seriously better off without the badly mangled version.

Gab - Depends which title you're referring to. The actual name of the song is the first 4 words (including parentheses) from the title of this post. However, the words in parentheses has been left out on local radio.
Eratter - Lol, totally didn't expect you to say that. You should watch the video, or Tina Tequila's reality show, A Shot at Love.
Anyway my problem isn't with the fact that they censored it but that the still insist on playing the show even though the original meaning of the song no longer exists.

An interesting note would be that the local DJs have no qualms mentioning the song title in full. Which means an average radio listener should be able to figure out the censored parts of the song even though he/she might have no idea bout the song at all.
This was different than last time where Meredith Brook's "B**ch" was censored and became "Nothing In Between".

The few times I've actually heard the announcers, they called the song "I Kissed".
Probably a different station I guess.
