Kid Rock sets the bar low, then promptly stumbles over it in a drunken fantasy

Not content to let emo and rap take the coveted spot of corrupting the newest generation and objectifying women, Kid Rock has burst back onto the scene with "So Hot," the first single off his new album.

The gist of the song? Wow, you're a pretty lady. I'd like to separate you from your friends, get you high, and then put my penis in you.

And perhaps, delving deeper (well, as deep as you can with a Kid Rock song), I don't want to be friends. Rather, I'd like to start a steady, serious relationship with you based only on my ability to judge your fuckability.

I'm not sure. Either way, this is so bad, I'd rather listen to U2 (mmmm...backhanded goodness).

LYRICS:

You got a body like the devil and you smell like sex
I can tell you're trouble but I'm still obsessed

Because you know you're
SO HOT I wanna get you alone
SO HOT I wanna get you stoned
SO HOT I dont wanna be your friend
I wanna fuck you like I'm never gonna see you again

Yeaa
Come on
Yea

You're like the kiss of death, like the hand of faith
I can tell you're trouble but I still wanna taste

Because you know you're
SO HOT I wanna get you alone
SO HOT I wanna get you stoned
SO HOT I dont wanna be your friend
I wanna fuck you like I'm never gonna see you again

Because you know you're
SO HOT I wanna get you alone
SO HOT I wanna get you stoned
SO HOT I dont wanna be your friend
I wanna fuck you like I'm never gonna see you again

You're So Hot, I wanna get you alone
I wanna get you stoned
I dont wanna be your friend
I wanna fuck you like I'm never gonna seeyou again
See you again
See you again
This may prove to be the summer anthem of assholes everywhere.

What's that? Creed, seeing the demand for shitty rock 'n' roll is considering getting back together? Oh noes!

i love that the "verses" are only two lines long.

Peter said...

Dude, I was already in a bad mood. Now my faith in the human race is at like 2% capacity.

Adam said...

Yeah, I had to find the lyrics on a fan site and it was pretty crazy.

Tons of people just talking about how much the song rocks! I wanted to leave a comment like, "Yeah, this song fuckin ROCKS!!! Douchebags unite!!"

Peter said...

Yeah, well, you think that's bad.

I was just told by a friend, who is a woman, that the only way I'll ever find a woman is to:

"shut up and go on a booze cruise, get completely wasted, fuck some chick, and let yourself go"

I kid you not. No paraphrasing. Just copied and pasted that into this window from an IM window.

That was in response to my question of where do I find a woman who will not say, "You're so smart; why do you bother talking to me?" Which, yes, is the standard line I get. Because, apparently, women all think they are idiots.

But no worries, because Kid Rock tells men what to do with all those women.

God I am so pissed off and disgusted right now.

Adam said...

I've gotten like 12 hits in the last hour, of people searching for the lyrics. I'm sitting pretty high on Google right now, so at least people looking for this song are tasting my commentary first.

Peter said...

And shortly after I posted my last comment, I left my apartment because I was so pissed that I needed to get out, and as I was leaving my complex, I found myself behind a car with a license plate frame that says "Girls will be Girls and Boys will be Toys."

Fit to be tied.

Monticore said...

That song is so-o romantic. It's like he is modern day Will Shakespear.

Batocchio said...

Good post title. I also like "Wow, you're a pretty lady. I'd like to separate you from your friends, get you high, and then put my penis in you," but that really sums up a lot of pop music, doesn't it? (Maybe as a subgenre of the posturing "I'm a badass mofo playa, ain't I cool" category.) Even so, it's a hard call as to whether Kid Rock's stupidity can unseat Creed's awesome suck-itude. Those guys always seemed to deliver (and took themselves so damned seriously).

Adam said...

It'd be like a real life battle of the bands.

Peter said...

I would also point out that under California Penal Code, section 261, subdivision (a)(3), “Rape is an act of sexual intercourse accomplished with a person not the spouse of the perpetrator [w]here a person is prevented from resisting by any intoxicating or anesthetic substance, or any controlled substance, and this condition was known, or reasonably should have been known by the accused.”

Rebecca said...

Anyone who purposely chooses the name "Kid Rock" is pretty much low on the intelligence level, IMO. What a jerk.

msb said...

ok dudes, i would consider myself a pretty independant and level headed broad (jk)...woman, i dont take any shit from guys and usually have something pretty smart ass response to most things (which im sure you will have a hard time imagining by the end of this) but i have to admit i like this song. but i think you are taking it all a little personally. ITS A FUCKING SONG!!!!! it doesnt decide the fate of the free world, it is something to dance to while sipping a beer and hanging with your friends, not an 'invitation to insert penis here'.
i have to agree with your friend...the girl... who i think was trying to tell you in her own round about sort of way that you need to get the HELL OUT OF YOUR APARTMENTS AND AWAY FROM YOUR BLOGS (im not a blogger, i searched the lyrics for the title to add it to myspace playlist...)

GO OUT AND ACTUALLY TALK TO SOME OF THESE WOMEN YOU ARE SO DISGUSTED WITH because you might find out that they are not as vapid as you may like to think they are. try a perspective other than from you safe little computer chairs. maybe they are out fucking all the 'assholes' because the REAL DOUCHBAGS ARE AT HOME ON THEIR ASSES BLOGGING ABOUT HOW MUCH LIFE SUCKS INSTEAD OF OUT IN THE REAL WORLD CHATTING THEM UP!!!

Adam said...

Ummm...that "girl" was being sarcastic when she compared Kid Rock to Shakespeare.

It honestly sounds like you're the one who is taking things personally here.

Adam said...

As far as anyone commenting here, I doubt a single one of us would say that women are vapid. In fact, I would bet that Kid Rock would call women vapid before anyone here.

get the HELL OUT OF YOUR APARTMENTS AND AWAY FROM YOUR BLOGS (im not a blogger, i searched the lyrics for the title to add it to myspace playlist...)

Because anyone who's searching for lyrics to post on their myspace can't possibly spend as much time at a computer as a blogger.

ITS A FUCKING SONG!!!!!

Oh really? Yeah, I'm sure you've never ever criticized a song or said that it was the worst song ever.

Ann Thrope said...

Wow.. that's a whole pile of crazy.

Good times.

Ann Thrope said...

And by "good times" I mean "I weep for our country."

Just so we're clear.

edluv said...

i think that the comment may have been referring to peter. his is the only one with "apartment" in it, and i guess if you really misread the comment and the part about the lame license plate frame.

i mean, if.

Anonymous said...

hahahahahaha.
the beautfil language of mankind.
can't live withit. can't live without it.
this song;; the perfect example.

Adam said...

Huh? Pretty sure humanity wouldn't be wiped off the face of the Earth were this song to never have existed. We all seemed to be living before this shit was written.

Anonymous said...

wow. but even tho theres men that get women drunk to fuck them...theres some women out there that get men drunk to do that. so, some women deserve to get drunk and raped. but most dont.

Anonymous said...

I'm just wondering, does Chris Cornell sing the chorus in Kid Rock's new single "So Hott"? I could swear it sounds just like him or are my ears deceiving me?

Adam said...

Ummmm...first anonymous. Your logic seems to flow thusly:

There are some women who you deem tricksters.
You don't like tricksters.
Therefore women who are tricksters deserve to be raped.

If you actually believe that shit, you are a dispicable, disgusting creature.

Thanks for reflecting poorly on all the others who like this song. Well done.

Second anonymous, no clue, I don't listen to the song if I can help it.

Jade said...

I'm with you, msb. You guys are getting waaaaayyyyyy too worked up over a song. And you know, it's you tightwads with a big stick jammed in a certain spot - and not the good kind that vibrates - that make the rest of us look like close-minded conservative redneck assholes.

If this is how you guys wanna be, then go back to watching CSPAN and blogging about the state of the U.S . economy and democracy as it pertains to the rest of the world and leave the music talk to the *FUN* people.

Or better yet: guys, go get laid, and, girls, go get one of those nice vibrating sticks I mentioned earlier and just go crazy this weekend. If ya'll are this wound up over a song, then it's time for your semiannual fucking so no one has to read about all ya'll bitching about whatever in your blogs.

Now go forth and do whatever it takes for that orgasm! Go, go, GO!!!

Adam said...

Actually Jade, it's not the song at all. It's the people who want to defend misogyny with the simple wave of their hands, "It's just a song."

Sure, sure. And I'm sure there were people telling Rosa Parks that it's just a bus seat, why bother trying to sit in the front, you still get where you want to go?

Also, this idea that complaining about a song that essentially outlines rape, somehow means that none of us has been laid is ridiculous and ad hominem. Get it through your heads, the song is hateful, the people who defend it as a "just a song" are being ignorant. I'm just not sure if it is intentional.

Adam said...

Oh, and Jade, you're the one who worked their way through 22 comments so you could leave yours. If you don't want to read about someone "bitching about whatever in [our] blogs," I suggest you do just that, not read them.

Jade said...

In defense of my comment, I was honestly just looking for the lyrics to the song after I heard it. You had them and then I started reading your blog and hearing all ya'll bitching.

I'm hearing ya on the misogyny and I agree it's not a very responsible song, in this respect. But apparently you missed the spirit of what I was saying.

What I meant was: pick your battles.

Kid Rock is first and foremost in the music BUSINESS. He's already broken through so now he has to keep up the momentum so he can continue doing BUSINESS. You're asking too much of him, dude.

He has to make money here. If that means he can't be as positive a role model as he may want to be with his songs, then so be it. His stance is thusly: you don't like it then don't buy it and shut the hell up.

Adam said...

You are so close Jade.

I won't buy it and I won't listen to it. And I have every right to bitch about it and say how much I hate his new single. It's just that simple.

You can tell me to shut up all you want, but you can't make me. If I were to reverse your wisdom against you, I could say: If you don't like people badmouthing an artist you like, don't go looking for people who are.

The internet is a free forum for anyone. You can't go around censoring people because they're saying things you don't like. But, you can have a reasonable argument with them, which is what you're nearly doing.

I did pick this battle.

Jade said...

Wow.

And here I thought I was done with all the snobby, sophomoric assholes at graduation.

Thanks for proving me wrong, dick!

:)

Jade said...

Btw, just a *hint*:

this is so NOT the battle.

Adam said...

See, and I wasn't so naive as to believe graduating would enter me into a world of geniuses (see comments above defending stupid song).

Here's a hint for you. There are so many more battles than just one. You keep working on it and eventually you'll come to the point where you can argue about more than one thing at time. It takes practice.

The irony is soooo lost on you that you're actually having an argument about a song while at the same time claiming that arguing about songs is so stupid and sophomoric.

One more hint, you can't engage in something and then criticize those who in engage in it. It's called hypocrisy.

Adam said...

I'll let you have another go, all right? Read my original post at the very top.

You argue why this is such a great song without calling into question the frequency with which I have sex, as if that had anything to do with the merits of Kid Rock's musical abilities.

Please don't try the, "It's just a good song to groove and have a beer with," because there are so many other derivative rock songs out there that sound oh so similar and yet aren't nearly as misogynistic as this one.

Tell me, why should anyone enjoy this song if they're not trying to date rape a hot chick?

Jade said...

I am so over about the song. I've said what I wanted to say. Next question to you: this whole misogyny thing really bugs you.

Why?

Jade said...

B/c that's what you keep zeroing in on in all of your responses to the comments and then you sound *really* sore about it.

Adam said...

Well, to define it bluntly, misogyny is hatred for women or towards women.

On the face of it, this particular song doesn't seem to be so, but what he's done with his lyrics is devalue women to point of being fuckable. In my mind, to devalue another human to point where their only merit is that they're so hot, all you want to do is fuck them and never see them again is pretty hateful.

To be more precise, Kid Rock has objectified women which is "the act of representing an abstraction as a physical thing." In other words, women have been reduced to his idea of them and nothing more.

Why I rail against it in this post is because speaking out against something as simple as a hateful song is never wrong. Misogyny is akin to racism is akin to xenophobia is akin to any other kind of unsubstantiated hate.

Jade said...

That last statement is pretty heavy. And somewhat untrue.

Racism has been a recognized evil for centuries in the Western world. Everyone knew it wasn't a good thing; they just sort of turned a blind eye for economic reasons and refused to give it much thought and try to ignore it. Misogyny on the other hand has just started to gain notoriety as of the past few hundred years. Everyone rolled with it and it was normal so no one thought it was bad.

It's just being demonized whereas xenophobia has been around and recognized *forever*. Also, xenophobia is a natural instinct of humanity that is allowed to run rampant. Misogyny is learned. You have to tell someone to be against women in particular and they'll obey and make up their own reasons to go along with it to satisfy their consciousness or just ignore it and go about their business.

This is getting old so I'm going back to my original message:

Lighten the fuck up, dude.

End transmission. *blip*

Jade said...

Btw, we all know what the dictionary says on "akin" but everyone knows what it really means when you're arguing with someone so don't try that "that's not really what I was saying so you're still wrong by technicality" crap.

That's bullshit and you know it.

And get off your soapbox, buddy. You're so full of it that it's about to collapse.

Adam said...

Thanks for the faux history lesson. I hope you don't plan on becoming a teacher because you are a moron.

Let me set you straight on your logic though. Just because something hasn't been recognized as a word or a movement until recently, doesn't mean it didn't exist beforehand. And just because something is a new concept doesn't make it any less important than an old concept.

Finally, racism, xenophobia, and misogyny are all things that are learned. Intinctual is bullshit. The only reason these forms of hate exist is because they reinforce the power of those who hold them.

As far as the word akin, it means similar, alike, analogous, comparable, parallel. It was an apt word and if you can't actually come up with anything other than lies or bullshit...FUCK. OFF. Do you know what that means?

Jade said...

Why should I fuck off? It's a free country, man. That means you can piss off whoever you want. Including assholes like you who don't when to live and let live.

Don't start nothing, won't be nothing. (still talking about you)

Adam said...

Alrighty Jade, you stick around however long you like. You can wander the archives ranting all you like.

Though, with all the time you apparently have to fight the good fight, perhaps you ought to start a blog extolling the virtues of lightening up and avoiding soapboxes. Could be a big hit.

Jade said...

Nice comeback, dick or - excuse me - no dick, at least how you've been whining.

Btw, don't get in a fight and then try and pull that "I'm too mature for this" shit when you run out of stuff to stay and you start losing toward the end.

Adam said...

*slow hand clap*

Well done.

"Nice comeback, dick or - excuse me - no dick, at least how you've been whining."

You've just attempted to insult me by calling me a girl. Talk about misogynistic. You keep at it Jade.

I'm not running away. It's just obvious that you've lost your way and are just sort of flailing about, throwing insults wherever you can. Please do point out to me where I'm losing. As far as I can tell, you continually fail to address why you're defending this song so strongly other than you want me to lighten up. A rather funny desire considering how heavily you've invested yourself in this "fight."

Jade said...

Wow.

You *still* sound like an bloated ass after all of this. How do you do it? You must share your secret.

Btw, you still don't get it. Are we reading the same comments b/c you haven't heard a word I've said. For the umpteenth time, I wasn't defending the song; I was insulting all of you who don't like the song b/c you're all a bunch of conservative, controlling jackasses whose got rid their funny bone a *long* time ago.

You know, I'm really done with this. We're just going around in circles here. I'm fun, you're a humorless dick, end of story. Peace out, dude.

I just pray that one day you will join the ranks of the normal, non-controlling members of society and the world.

Adam said...

Seeya.

Rebecca said...

...You got a brain like a moron and you smell like shit
I can tell you're an asshole and I'm so turned off

Because you know you're
SO NOT I wanna get away
SO NOT I wanna leave
SO NOT I don't wanna hear you
I wanna so never see you again

Wow, it's like, so not hard to write lyrics like that. Good times.

Anonymous said...

I heard this song on the radio and I had to look up the lyrics to see whether it was a joke or not. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I honestly didn't think anyone could write such shit without it being some sort of meta performance-art thing.

Anonymous said...

Wow... I agree with whoever posted this. Why would anyone like a song about wanting to fuck a girl you just met? This just proves how shallow people are!!

Anonymous said...

It's a song people....it's not his best but it's not his worst. It's rock and roll, it's raw, and it's nothing worse than any other rock song. Stop hatin on Kid Rock. It is so easy for people to criticize. If you don't like the song, DON'T LISTEN TO IT. Get over yourselves.

Better, catch Kid in concert. I guarantee you will be blown away by his talent. He is a well respected musician, recorded with greats like John Lee Hooker!!!

Sheesh.

Anonymous said...

This thread is pee in your pants funny shit. Adam certainly has the right to write whatever crap he wants about a song, but why? What is the point about bashing something? OK, you hate the song. I hate listening to REM (enough whining already) and I hate listening to WHAM! and I hate listening to ABBA! But, do I blog about it?

Kid Rock is an A R T I S T people. You may not like him or get him but he is very well respected by other musicians, of all genres, and his fans love him. We don't love every song, this one is kind of silly but it is just pure, raw, sex n drugs n rock and roll, much like most other rock. Chuck Berry's My Dingaling seems harmless today but folks were super offended being asked to play with his a long time ago.

Chill and write about important stuff.

Demirep said...

I had to check out this thread...At several points I envisioned a bullet entering my skull at my forehead and exploding out the back; brains and bits of bloody bone and flesh everywhere.

Adam, you fight a good fight fella. The world is a good place because of you. Thanks.

I am so glad you wrote about Kid. I am a huge fan and I like when people take interest in him.
ROCK OK, KID!
