A Couplet of Things to Consider

“Pretty Girl Rock” - Keri Hilson

Keri Hilson wrote a song about how pretty/fly/sweet/cute/attractive/beautiful she is. Like she says in the song “I can talk about it 'cause I know that I'm pretty.” So its not conceited guys, she’s legitimately attractive which makes it ok to brag about it.

"Does this wig make me look like Dolly Parton?"

“All eyes on me when I walk in,

No question that this girl's a 10

Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful

Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful

My walk, my talk, the way I drip

It's not my fault, so please don't trip

Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful

Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful”

Translation:

When Keri Hilson walks into a place, everybody stares. Why? Because she’s beautiful and people stop whatever they're doing because they have to look at her. 

"Sure I can sing, but what matters is how good I look."

Keri Hilson, because she’s so beautiful, is clearly a top shelf piece of meat, and as such, needs to make sure everyone knows this. 

"Does this pose distract you from my singing? Oh well."

Look people, you can’t hate someone just because they’re beautiful. You have to have legit reasons. Like they’re mean, or they cheat at chess, or cut you off when you’re trying to change lanes, or they have bad breath. Those are good reasons to hate someone.

"Don't hate me just 'cause I tripped and fell and 

your boyfriend is trying to help me up....with his crotch."

Keri Hilson can walk the walk. But I’m not sure she can talk the talk....she says drip to rhyme with trip, but she really means dress. But whatever, she’s beautiful, who cares what she says.

Take it from someone who messes up lyrics all the time.

Hating someone just because they talk about how attractive they are all the time, that’s just not right. I mean, they’re people too. Prettier people. You can’t hate on people who are prettier than you. They’re pretty.

Pretty much.

A Couplet of Things To Consider

“Kiss” by Prince

(Prince doesn’t like his music to be available on YouTube, so the live performance will have to do.)

The artist formerly known as being sexy in velvet purple. Oh, the 80s.

Remember Pretty Woman? This song inspired the movie. True story. (Note: it’s not a true story. This is just a theory.) 

But Prince, with hips that would make Elvis jelly, laid down a little wisdom in this 80s hit about the value of having chemistry with a person.

“You don’t have to be rich, to be my girl

You don’t have to be cool, to rule my world

Ain’t no particular sign I’m more compatible with

I just want your extra time and your.....kiss”

Translation:

You don’t need to have monetary value to be someone’s companion. Guy’s don’t like Princess Paris Hilton; they like that she puts out.

Can I buy you a drink too, or do you just want the money?

“Cool” is one of those subjective words. You can be “too cool for school,” or “cool as ice,” or even “a cool cucumber.” What matters is how hot your significant other thinks you are when you laugh at their corny joke.

Was that an earthquake, or did you just rock my world?

Baby, astrology has nothing to do with it. It doesn’t have to be in the stars for you to be a match made in heaven.

Was your dad a thief? ‘Cause someone stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes.

How do you let someone know you care? You spend time with them. Remember how as a kid you wanted to spend time with your heroes (mom, dad, brother, sister, friend)? People don’t lose that want. So hang out with that special someone if you really like them. 

And make out....a lot. 

If I had a garden, I’d put my two lips and your two lips together.
