A song that is brought to my attention is “Hotel Room Service” by Pitbull. The song begins automatically with a selfish ambition in mind by saying “I want everybody to stop what they’re doing.” Pitbull suggests that his ambitions are more important than anyone else’s and so therefore desires more attention than any single individual. The song soon progresses into the bridge which states “Forget about your boyfriend and meet me at the hotel room.” He automatically assumes that the female, in regards to the song, has no concern for her boyfriend or his emotions. So already Pitbull is presenting himself as selfish as well as an arrogant lady’s man.

The most graphic of Pitbull’s song is directly after the chorus “I’m the plumber tonight, I’ll check your pipes Oh, you the healthy type. Well, here goes some egg whites.” This part is a graphic visual of the regard Pitbull gives to women. He continues on by saying “Now gimme that sweet, that nasty that gushy stuff”. My question is what about the nice guys? The ones that have a tendency for respect and an appreciation to what love really is. It would appear that if you are in High School your chances are slim. I feel as if there is a gap that needs to be bridged in how we view relationships and the way we go about "progressing" them.

POP DIVA

In this new age MTV seems to be showing these new hits that interpret what love and relationships are. In Jordin Sparks’ new song the second stanza states “Why is it always the smallest things that tear us down.” Sparks is referring to small bumps that come along in a relationship. She states that “these smallest things” always tearing them down is referring that neither she nor he can keep up in a relationship. She goes on in the song to state that “…these times when we climb so fast to fall again…” refers to how they progress through the relationship at a high pace and suddenly it erupts and they lose trust in one another all over again. Spark’s song goes on to state that she “doesn’t even know what they’re fighting for”... and she tells him “to go and get his armor”…thus implying that the relationship is going to have to build up trust all over again. But of course this shouldn’t take too long seeing as it didn’t take a long time to get where they were at in the first place. The song goes on for another four minutes using the same exact phrases time after time after time.
