We shared the astonishing new record from Brian McFadden over on our twitter account recently, which was rightly met by our readers with a mixture of horror and delighted bemusement. One word continually cropped up – ‘rape’.
Now, that isn’t a word that people normally associate with pop records (unless you’re talking about ‘Sweat (A La La La Long)’ by Inner Circle which has always sounded suspect to hecklerspray.
However, the former Westlifer and Kerry Katona ex has gone and made a song that sounds like it is almost promoting it. If not that, then it sounds like something that Whoopie Goldberg might call ‘not rape rape’. If you haven’t heard, fret not, we have it to listen to over the jump.
The song itself is a lesson in abject misery. Get a eurodance beat that the Cheeky Girls would deem beneath them and couple it with, get this, a synth banjo and top it all off with a rap and a song about taking advantage of drunk women, and you’ve got a recipe for wanting to lop your ears off.
The lyrics which raise eyebrows the most are:
?I like you just the way you are, drunk as shit dancing at the bar?
?can’t wait to get you home so I can do some damage, can’t wait to get you home and take advantage.?
Amazing eh?
Naturally, Brian is a bit angered by this. That’s because we, as a people, have required him to think about something. As well you know, when you ask a simpleton to consider something, they’re likely to lash out wildly, kicking and doing windmill punches until the original question is all but forgotten.
However, thanks to snides like us, we can keep bringing it up. And so, McFadden went on record to deny that he was promoting the glory of taking liberties with hammered young women.
“I am shocked at these ridiculous accusations about my new song. For the record I wrote the song about how I love it when Delta has a drink – which is very rarely – and she’s dancing.”
Hmm. While that may be the case, you’d think that he wouldn’t want to offer his wife ‘some damage’ when she gets in. That sounds like the promise of brutal, rutting, barnyard sex while Delta Goodrem drunkenly tries to unknot the plastic bag still tied in her hair from having a small puke when she got through the door.
“My new song is a tongue in cheek song about how I find it cute when my girl gets drunk… I am not promoting date-rape.”
What about the rape of our ears Brian? Don’t give two shiny shites about that do you? Still, at least he knows his record is a foetid pile of balls.
“And yes it is dumb lyrics and a dumb beat… that was the point!!!!! When did I ever claim to be John Lennon??
What? You’re implying that Lennon enjoyed a bit of date rape are you now? Jesus man!
Anyway, if you want a good laugh (the kind of laugh that makes you feel instantly embarrassed and shameful), listen to ‘Just The Way You Are (Drunk At The Bar)’ and see if you can manage to make it through the whole thing without a palpable sense of death.

My favourite rape-pop tune is I’m Your Man by Wham! “wanna take you, wanna make me, but they tell me it’s a crime”. I like the fact that George had to be told by other people that rape was against the law like it wasn’t simply common knowledge. Presumably he hasn’t seen those mates in a while so they haven’t been able to keep him up to date with all the drugs and public sex legislation. That should have totally been his defence.

Thank fuck the lyrics in question are at the beginning so I didn’t have listen to anymore of that pile of horseshit. Jesus that’s all that is wrong with music today all wrapped up in one steaming pile of shit. Have I mentioned it’s shit yet?

What’s worse than when prisoners make a cocktail of shit, piss, vomit , sperm and blood to chuck in the faces of screws? I think I’ve made myself clear. Stop tryin, Brian. For the record, I would still smash Delta, and I don’t mean that in a damage kinda way.
