RE-EXAMINING THE GUILTY PLEASURE, VIA KESHA...
AUGUST 19, 2011



Village Voice:


In general conversation, the guilty pleasure is a simple enough concept: it describes something you might like but, well, feel guilty about liking, presumably because it isn’t otherwise up to your standards of taste. Over the past ten or so years, with pop critics taking traditional guilty-pleasure strongholds like teenpop and Southern rap madami seriously, the concept itself was put to closer scrutiny. To summarize a decade of articles, blog posts and message board debates, the term “guilty pleasure” was revealed...

Ke$ha knows all about the perks of being a headliner. On her Get $leazy Tour, the singer gets to call all the shots, blast her fans in the face with tons of glitter and handpick which dudes she wants to party and share the stage with.

But it’s not all backstage shenanigans and groupie love. When MTV News sat down with the “Blow” singer in New York earlier this week before her kalesa at Roseland Ballroom, Ke$ha sinabi that amid the nightly onstage parties there have also been some poignant moments on her first headlining outing.

“Best moment? There are so many. Every night’s amazing. I have...

There's a place downtown,
Where the freaks all come around.
It's a hole in the wall.
It's a dirty free for all.

When the dark
Of the night comes around.
That's the time,
That the animal comes alive.
Looking for
Something wild.

And now we lookin' like pimps
In my ginto Trans-Am.
Got a water bottle full of whiskey
In my handbag.
Got my drunk text on
I'll regret it in the mornin'
But tonight
I don't give a
I don't give a
I don't give a

There's a place downtown,
Where the freaks all come around.
It's a hole in the wall.
It's a dirty free for all.

And they turn me on.
When they Take It Off.
When they Take It Off.
Everybody...

Chours:
D-I-N-O-S-A
You are a dinosaur
D-I-N-O-S-A
You are a dinosaur and,
O-L-D M-A-N
Your just an old man
Hitting on me what?
You need a cat scan

Verse 1:
Old man
Why are you starrin' at me
Mack on me and my mga kaibigan its kinda a creepy
You should be prowling around the Old folks tahanan
Come on dude!
Leave us alone

At first we thought that it was kind of ill when
We saw that you were like a billion
And still out tryin' to make a killin'
Get back to the museum

Chours:
D-I-N-O-S-A
You are a dinosaur
D-I-N-O-S-A
You are a dinosaur and,
O-L-D M-A-N
Your just an old man
Hitting on me what?
You need a cat scan

Hey dinosaur
baby,...
