LOL!

My short story about foeeign music

Wife and 6-year-old get back from dance class:

6yo: I want to add that song we heard in the car to my playlist

Wife: oh what was that song again

Me: do you remember any words, we can search for it

6yo: no Wife: no

Me: what station was it on?

Wife: satellite, TikTok radio

Me: ohh ok, I guess we just need to wait or maybe if you find it on TikTok...

Days go by

Wife: It came on in the car but the title of the song was all weird characters

Me: was it like little stick figures or big slashes or just weird drawn characters?

Wife: just wierd

Me: Google: Russian songs on tik Tok

Moreart

Ohh!

I listen to it. It absolutely slaps

Google then mentions controversy

Then I translate the song's name.

LMAO. 'I will fuck"

Then I go to look for lyric translations

It's so fucking cringe and not in a naughty or dirty way, it's just lame cringe.

The beat of the music still slap though.

Zappa's Bobby Brown topped the charts in several European countries, with most people oblivious to the lyrics, people thought it was just some pop song :)

OMG you're right. Was guilty of that too :)
It's such a catchy tune.

Zappa remains great.

But also at least half of his songs are absolute smut, and we love him for it.
