I began listening to Star 98.7 today, it is a Los Angeles station. There was a song on the radio station tonight, and the lyrics to this song just had me saying, "WTF"? I have heard odd lyrics before, but nothing like this and I will point out the one part in the lyrics that really had me curious. Here is the song:

"Don't Trust Me" by 3oh!3

Black dress with the tights underneath
I've got the breath of a last cigarette on my teeth
And shes an actress but she ain't got no need
Shes got money from her parents in a trust fund back east

T-t-t-tongues always pressed to your checks, while my tongue
is on the inside of some other girl's teeth
tell your boyfriend
If he says hes got beef that I'm a vegetarian
And I ain't f***ing scared of him

She wants to touch me, whoa oh
She wants to love me, whoa oh
She'll never leave me, whoa oh whoa oh oh oh
Don't trust a ho
Never trust a ho
Won't trust a ho, cuz a ho won't trust me
She wants to touch me, whoa oh
She wants to love me, whoa oh
She'll never leave me, whoa oh, whoa oh oh oh
Don't trust a ho
Never trust a ho
Won't trust a ho, cuz a ho won't trust me

X's on the back on your hand
Wash them in the bathroom to drink like the bands
And the set list
You stole off the stage
Has red and purple lipstick all over the page

B-b-b-bruises cover your arms shaking in the
Fingers with the bottle in your palm
And the best is
No one knows who you are
Just another girl, alone at the bar

She wants to touch me, whoa oh
She wants to love me, whoa oh
She'll never leave me, whoa oh, whoa oh oh oh
Don't trust a ho
Never trust a ho
Won't trust a ho, cuz a ho won't trust me
She wants to touch me, whoa oh
She wants to love me, whoa oh
She'll never leave me, whoa oh, whoa oh oh oh
Don't trust a ho
Never trust a ho
Won't trust a ho, cuz a ho won't trust me

Shush girl, shut your lips
Do the "Helen Keller"
And talk with your hips

I said shush girl, shut your lips
Do the "Helen Keller"
And talk with your hips
I said shush girl, shut your lips
Do the "Helen Keller"
And talk with your hips


She wants to touch me, whoa oh
She wants to love me, whoa oh
She'll never leave me, whoa oh, whoa oh oh oh
Don't trust a ho
Never trust a ho
Won't trust a ho, cuz a ho won't trust me
She wants to touch me, whoa oh
She wants to love me, whoa oh
She'll never leave me, whoa oh, whoa oh oh oh
Don't trust a ho
Never trust a ho
Won't trust a ho, cuz a ho won't trust me


Shush girl, shut your lips
Do the "Helen Keller"
And talk with your hips


This is definitely the part of the song that had me saying "WTF"? Do the people who wrote this song know who Helen Keller is? If they know, do they care? And the way that women are referred to is in this song also makes me scream? What did our ancestors fight for? I know that they did not fight for songs like this. Again, I have heard strange songs before, but this one took the cake!

Some of the new songs that come out just make me want to vomit...this one being a prime example. First you have the whole making fun of blind ppl with the reference to Helen Keller...teaching kids disrespect for disabled ppl. Then you have the reference to ho's...teaching kids disrespect for women. Not to mention half of the song makes no sense...what are the bruises on her arms (drugs, fights, abuse)...why can't ppl put out songs that are positive for kids and actually make some sense? Now I know why I love listening to old music from the '70's and back...it may be out of date but at least it makes sense.

**AT PEACE WITHIN**

Exactly, some of the new songs that come out today make me question the sanity and the intelligence of America's youth. Again, I have heard songs with some strange and odd lyrics, but nothing like this. Degrading Helen Keller and degrading women is not my idea of a great song.

Helen Keller is one of the people I admire most out of history. She was blind at deaf from scarlet fever as a toddler. Her parents wouldn't put her away in a home and kept her at home. They never taught her how to communicate and basically let her do whatever she wanted to do. When she was 6 they took hired a teacher Anne Sullivan to teach their daughter how to communicate. They became lifelong friends.

Helen went on to become the first blind and deaf person to graduate college and became a lecturer, author and activist for the disabled, women's rights and many other causes.

I do think it is in bad taste to use someone like her in that form. She did so many great things despite her disabilities and doesn't deserve to have her name used as a sexual reference in song lyrics.

Thank you, craftcatcher. Yes, having her name used as a sexual reference in a song is very disgraceful. Helen Keller was a wonderful person, but these people seem to have forgotten that.
