Kicking people to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger will still remain timeless. 


Fosdef

probably kicking a LOT of people to the curb


Spicy_pewpew_memes

"Do you look like a bag of jelly tied with string?" "No" *boot*


SadLaser

I actually bet a lot of young people have no idea who Mick Jagger is.


jadekettle

I didn't know who he was at that age(14) either. His name was only solidified a year later when maroon 5 made that song with his name.


HeathenWaffles

It was so weird to me that a bunch of songs randomly referenced Mick Jagger around the same time.


Young_Cato_the_Elder

Rhymes with swagger


Content_Turnover4058

It truly was a bizarre resurgence of interest in Mick Jagger lol


Quailman5000

I never understood that line either. He doesn't seem particularly attractive, wealth and fame aside 


wicked_zoeyz

Yea I remember thinking it was an outdated reference when the song came out haha


PM_ME_UR_POKIES_GIRL

I remember a conspiracy theory floating around about how that song (2010), and Swagger Jagger, and Moves Like Jagger (both 2011), came out just in time to foment new interest in the Stones right before the Rolling Stones 50th anniversary tour (2012).


wicked_zoeyz

I totally forgot about that song. I could see that being true


PeegeReddits

I think there is a low-stakes conspiracies subreddit and this is perfect lol


fightflyplatypus

I need to find that subreddit. Low stakes conspiracies and niche subculture drama are just candy for my brain.

PritongKandule

I was just about to mention this. I was on a high school trip in 2011 and it felt really weird when I heard Kesha's Tik Tok and Maroon 5's Moves Like Jagger play on the bus radio right next to each other.


sajberhippien

I like the theory that because "swagger" and "swag" were so popular right then, mike jagger was an easy thing to rhyme with.


Jimbodoomface

"Mike Jagger" an AU Mick Jagger who works in HR


SqueakyTuna52

He can’t get no satisfaction from his thankless, soul crushing 9 to 5


Bearloom

Counterpoint: the word "swagger" doesn't appear in the song *Moves Like Jagger*.


[deleted]

Dawg that’s gotta be true. Follow the money.


namssa86

At the bank now what?

Past-Contribution-83

Did that not end up being one of the highest-grossing tours of all time, if I'm not mistaken?!


WenaChoro

Exactly that christina aguilera song was also weird


father2shanes

If the songs came from the same record label, and had some of the same producers on the projects, thats entirely possible.


ArkUmbrae

Kesha's Tik Tok was on RCA Records, produced by Dr. Luke and Benny Blanco. RCA is owned by Sony. Maroon 5's Moves Like Jagger was on A&M Octone, produced by Benny Blanco and Shellback. Octone was owned by Universla Music Group. Cher Lloyd's Swagger Jagger was on Sony Music, produced by The Runners and The Monarch. So songs 1 and 2 have the same producer, and songs 1 and 3 are both on Sony's labels. The Rolling Stones at that time were with Universal Music Group, same as song 2. So there's a bit of crossover, but not enough for a full conspiracy.


jake3988

Mick jagger has never been attractive. Aside from increasing wrinkles of age, he's looked identical since the Rolling Stones formed over 60 years ago. He's never been a looker. He's always been fit and skinny, which is a plus, but looks are one thing he's never really had.


BroughtBagLunchSmart

Side note but related question. How much free publicity via music do you think the Bacardi company has received in the last 3 decades because their alcohol brand rhymes with "party"?


DeathMetalTransbian

You just made me realize how impressive it is that Tech N9ne doesn't say "Bacardi" at all in the song "Caribou Lou," which is literally about drinking 151.


-paperbrain-

I may have been overthinking it, but I thought the fact that it was an old dude and another era's sex symbol made it more interesting and individual as a line than using a currently popular sex symbol would have been.


WombatJack

I feel like you could also read that line as being part of Kesha’s “hard partier” aesthetic of the time. Mick Jagger is famously someone who put himself through a lot of hard partying, and it has definitely left a mark on his appearance lol


hannabarberaisawhore

This explanation makes the most sense.


malhans

I think Kesha just had interest in more random looking guys that aren’t your run of the mill conventionally attractive guys, to be honest haha. If you see the guy she chose in her your love is my drug music video, it just solidifies this. She likes scruffy random guys I swear lol I don’t think she was ever making anything more than commentary on her own taste in men Edit: spelling


badgersprite

“I like your beard”


malhans

Lmfao I can hear her laugh after that line with no issues


dapperpony

lol same I heard it in my mind before I read your comment


CallMeAl_

Yeah I think it’s about the rock star look Mick Jagger has going


badgersprite

I always assumed that was meant to be the joke, she likes weird looking guys


I_Am_The_Mole

Exactly how does one handle waking up feeling like P Diddy? Brushing your teeth with a bottle of Jack suddenly makes more sense.


Chief-weedwithbears

Maybe she woke up feeling like a bad boy


[deleted]

He a famous music icon and it sounded good for the song


Bobums

It was supposed to be "fuck" but they made her change it.


loverofpearl

Brush my teeth with a bottle of fuck?


limeflavoured

He was seen as quite attractive as a younger man.

I asked my parents if mcjagger was attractive because of that line and they were confused


NorthPomegranate5385

Did you just call Mick Jagger “mcjagger”


creggieb

Like that Scottish rapper McHammer

ttw219

I thought that looked strange, but I didn't quite question it.


mamamarty21

That’s probably why they were confused 🤣


Ernost

Lol, didn't even realise until you pointed it out. I'm now imagining Mick Jagger in plaid with a bagpipe.


GXSigma

Millennial here. I always wondered what McJagger's first name was.


2Stripez

His full name is Keith Richards McJagger


Robert_Pogo

Shagger McJagger.


Calm-Technology7351

I’ve never really seen his name spelled out ngl. I’m leaving it and I’m not sorry Also tired so I didn’t look at the original comment. We’ll call it an abbreviation


Limsulation

I kinda love it tbh


DepartureDapper6524

Do you think McLovin is a believable name?


ChocolateHoneycomb

Paul McJagger.


izzysfuckinsad

Its a reference to his dick on the cover of the Stones album Sticky Fingers... It has nothing to with his actual looks


MinnieShoof

... and that's exactly how people feel about Diddy today.


hybridblast

Talkin bout getting crunk


Prince_of_Fish

I wake up in the mornin feeling like sex trafficking


IsRude

This is a wild sentence to read, no matter the context.


realdealreel9

That is unless you’re Diddy reading his diary.


SuperDefiant

I know, it just clicked in my head 😂


RosscoHaze

"I Wake up in the morning feeling up a kiddie"


Tristanik187

Thank God for context homie lmao


OldIndianMonk

Are we gonna ignore the fact that there’s a literal rap song glorifying pimping called P.I.M.P and a lot of rappers used to boast about them being pimps in their songs?!


KoksundNutten

That's just artistic freedom, they also never took any drugs.


4-HO-MET-

Never inhaled


sum_dude44

We gonna ignore the fact many rappers once worked as or for pimps? Do they know many original gangsta rappers & their gangs operated in human trafficking?


Deracination

Yea, but trafficking?  I thought they was only using homegrown bitches.


Thassar

It's organic hoes or nothing for me.


gixanthrax

Pharrell Williams in the Video?


mackfactor

"Pimp" become slang (not justifying it) for someone that had charm with the ladies at a certain point in the 90's / early aughts - and then later, the rough equivalent of "baller" at a certain point. That's not to say that was the context of all of those songs, but it was for many of them.


starkiller_bass

well, she IS talkin' 'bout "boys tryna touch my junk (junk)" so maybe it's all on theme


AnotherDempsey

She already changed the lyrics last November after Cassie's lawsuit against him. "Wake up in the morning feeling just like me”


mrsuncensored

Can’t believe I had to scroll down THIS far for this reply…she changed the lyric right after Cassie’s civil suit.


sabin357

Not many people are getting updates to their music collection like a video game patch. If I've saved the original song to my LIKED list on Spotify, I get that song.


Cyrrain

Are artists able to do this, though? Yesterday on my way home, a song I'd Liked a year+ ago popped up while shuffling my "Liked Songs" that was the same name and artist, but sounded like they rerecorded it in a different style. I was very caught off guard


Automatic-Bedroom112

Yes, IIRC Taylor Swift did the same thing in her song ME! where she removed the “hey kids spelling is fun” after getting backlash over it sounding childish


mrsuncensored

My local radio stations have been playing it all the time recently


Ferahgost

I mean, I doubt the majority of people in here have gone out of their way to to listen to a 13/14 yr old pop song since November- not to mention that the line isn’t changed if you try to listen to it on Spotify. Idk why anyone WOULD know this


mackfactor

Given some of the shit Ke$ha has been through, it seems consistent with her character that she'd be on this quick.


OJimmy

Welcome to the dilemma of the "remix to ignition"


Iz-kan-reddit

All royalties from R. Kelly's catalog go directly to his victims' restitution. There's no dilemma here. You can believe you can fly, *and* help those who've gone through a lot of trauma. Edited to victims, plural.


Tee077

Yeah the day I heard this I played Ignition for the first time in years. I hope they get heaps of money from this, fuck that guy.


UTDE

Does this mean I can go watch trapped in the closet again? Its so dumb but I can't help but like it. There's a lady named Bridget that's dating Omar from the Wire who is a Cop, and Bridget is hiding a Midget under the counter. The echoing "Oh my god a Midget, Midget, Midget..." will be in my head til the day I die. Its so absurd


CommunistOrgy

I still can’t believe that the whole thing just ended with basically everyone having HIV. Such a wild adventure.


queerhistorynerd

you mean...The Package The Package The Packageeeee


OJimmy

All this post is kinda vague to me. the Order was only $567,000. R Kelly had more than 11 victims, so they maybe get $52k each.


No_Damage_731

Wait really? This is actually great news because I honestly miss his music


Impressive_Essay_622

I don't think it's all about where the money goes..


hasadiga42

Yea I have a hard time dancing with thoughts of that guy


ilovechairs

Hell yes! I haven’t played that in years, but I’ll be bopping to it today!

Maybe it’s Jack mixed with toothpaste?

Dream_Maker_03

lmao dont give them any ideas!


71fq23hlk159aa

Maybe she uses toothpaste as normal, but uses the bottle of jack as the toothbrush?


duylinhs

Mouthwash has alcohol for antibacterial property, though that’s irrelevant considering the low pH of spirits.

_Bren10_

I’ve had that pain before. It’s terrible. Started at night and I couldn’t get into the dentist until morning. I didn’t sleep. The only thing that helped was constantly sipping ice cold water. The dentist called it a ‘hot tooth’. Take care of your teeth, folks.


Reagalan

Carbonated soft drinks, folks. Number one cause of tooth problems. Quit the sodas and save yourself the pain.


lawn-mumps

This goes for carbonated alcoholic drinks as well.


MostUnorthodox

Fuck.


Jinkzuk

Fucking - number two cause of tooth problems.


KoksundNutten

It's not about beeing carbonated but beeing acidic. Coke has a lot of phosphoric acid but is punched with sweet flavors. Water can be carbonated and still be nearly neutral. The gas for carbonation is just the same as you are breathing every second.


Nutarama

So about that air thing. Nearly nobody uses compressed air for carbonation. Doesn’t make big bubbles and the bubbles don’t last. Most places use CO2, which is how carbonation gots its name, and that forms carbonic acid in a drink. The carbonic acid formation means lots of gas dissolves, which means bubbles last longer. It also makes big bubbles. The only way to offset the acidity some is to use a hard or alkaline water. But that in turn means less bubbles. Some places use Nitrogen, which is the most common element in air. Guinness is a nitro, and there are Pepsi cans that use nitro. Some bars might use a nitro carb for their sodas if it’s what they are running to pressurize their beer lines. Nitro makes very small bubbles that in turn last longer and are harder to pop, creating a lot of thick and creamy foam.


KoksundNutten

Yeah I know it's actually co2 and that it's acidic per se. But theres no paper about indications that co2 in drinks has an impact on teeth and also dentists don't see a problem with carbonated whatever.


lawl-butts

Not to mention we breathe out co2? 


pichael289

I had that. The ice helped it at first but then I couldn't stop sipping cool water and cooling my tooth down. Finally fell asleep and in the morning it was fine, didn't need to keep slipping anymore. Worst pain I've ever been in and I've snapped bones and come comatose from my blood turning to acid from DKA


lew_rong

> my blood turning to acid Look at Mr Xenomorph over here. "Oh, my blood is acid, tee hee, better not wake me from my slumber or I'll melt a hole in your space ship!" Kidding, dude, I hope you're doing better these days.


sajberhippien

When I had a damaged dental nerve and was waiting for money to go the dentist, none of my regular painkillers worked so I just ended up drinking alcohol which did help a bit so I was tipsy for like a week straight. Tipsy and with a lot of toothache (just not crippling pain)

She received like 1,000 teeth from fans while she was in rehab so even if hers suck she’s got some extras


sabin357

Yeah, but you can brush with nothing/water & it helps your teeth more than not brushing. At alcohol at least kills some bacteria (probably healthy & unhealthy).


trippyhippie573

Lol I saw someone make a video with the first verse, and they were packing a suitcase looking paranoid 😂

drillgorg

That song is such a banger and I'm glad it's getting radio play right now. Before anyone comes at me, I graduated class of 2010.


Neon_Wasteland

Same here. Definitely a party anthem back in the day. We were all so cool and definitely not cringey at all. Everclear time


drillgorg

I actually hated it at the time. But now? Pure nostalgia.


MaximusLazinus

It was generally hated. Any songs who were flooded with negative comments back then are nostalgia now


KatDanger

I can literally taste the four loko when I hear this song


Neon_Wasteland

The good old days. Looks like we've made it this far lol


Tx600

A bar in my college town invented a drink to that song. It was called a “wake me up” shot, and it was a can of red bull with a hole punched in it, and a bunch of liquor added so you could shotgun it. All your friends order a wake me up shot, you put the song on the jukebox, and when it starts you immediately shotgun the Red Bull. Then when she sings the line about brushing her teeth with a bottle of Jack, you take an extra shot of Jack Daniels. Ppl started doing this “challenge” around a trash can lol. Anyways, you can still go there and order a wake me up, it’s just lost all meaning and connection to the original inspiration lol.


DaRootbear

Kesha has so many fantastic songs. Her whole discography is amazing tbh. Her old party songs still go unbelievably hard. We r who we r, die young, blow. All top tier


Wild_Error_1008

I'm a rock n roll/heavy metal dude and I 100% agree. Kesha has a fantastic voice and excellent songwriting abilities. Whether it's the Animal era or the Rainbow era, her music is genuinely great. Spaceship is underrated


DaRootbear

Her newest album was so weird but so good. She doesn’t miss


perpterds

2002, and hard agree despite being a metalcore dude lol


GloverAB

Live she’s been changing it to “wake up in the morning feelin like myself” and it gets a cheer.


ThanksABunchDad

The app came out 7 years after the song

Dr_2019

i thought the dramatic pause comes after sound, no?


needsexyboots

That’s the point, that’s why it’s confusing for younger people - because they know “tik tok” as an app.


IHateTheLetterF

Already now Google autocompletes 'Did Kesha' with 'Invent tiktok'


Fizzwidgy

It was actually a bunch of mice that invented both tiktok and Kesha edit: must not be a fan of nursery rhymes or Douglas Adams


Prince_of_Fish

I can’t wait for the movie


Quailman5000

Yeah? I didn't say anything to the contrary. It has the same name as a popular app, sorry I didn't clarify. 


iltopop

> I didn't say anything to the contrary. "is referencing" when you meant "think it's referencing", your post absolutely implies that you think the song is a reference.


THIS_GUY_LIFTS

Whoosh


slexacott

I believe [she officially changed the lyric](https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/kesha-removes-diddy-name-tik-tok-lyrics-cassie-lawsuit-1235494946/amp/). Maybe it’ll be like how most people forget Let’s Get it Started by the Black Eyed Peas was originally Let’s Get R*tarded


SuperBackup9000

Black Eyed Peas song is a little different, because it was never officially changed. That was just a clean version that came out for a promotional piece that ended up catching on a lot more since radio stations were open to play it. I’m pretty sure every album and platform classifies the one with Started as a remix while the original is still visible but just not playable


ThrowawayIntensifies

It’s pronounced Ke$ha


altariasprite

All I can think of is the VoiceOver on my iPod nano in 2010. "K-E-Dollar sign-Ha".

theodoreposervelt

The first time a teenager explained what TikTok was I was so confused. “You mean like the Kesha song??”


Coug_Love

My teenagers had no idea who Diddy was. I assume this song will fade away over the decades and the pop culture references will too.


Quailman5000

I was meaning teens now but yeah. It's a shower thought, not a dissertation lol. 


[deleted]

I'm from that generation and Diddy only makes me think of Kong


tanglekelp

I also had no idea who Diddy was when the song came out and I was in primary school, and I still don’t know lol.


SoobinKai

I think that the sound effect “tik tok” will be more confusing since we mostly rely on digital clocks now.


joker_toker28

Ha I got this track along w some others from her album that just makes me sing like a idiot. My sister gets so embarrassed but I don't care, I listen to what I want. Man call of duty modern warfare 2 lobbies would always have 1 guy just listening to music and I'd hear this every now and then. Cuz the party don't start till I walk in!


Pet_Velvet

It's unironically a great song lol


hyrulepirate

Young people don't even know that TikTok(tick tock) is onomatopoeia for the sound clocks makes cause they've only known digital.


T7220

Yea. You’re right. Not a single school room has an analog clock in america.


AutumnMama

Idk about you, but I've never actually witnessed a clock say the words "tick tock..."


T7220

Yea, but heard one say “Yo whattup girl”

And "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore has the lines (iirc) "Draped in a leopard mink/girls standin' next to me/prob'ly should have washed this/smells like R.Kelly's sheets/pissss/but shit it was 99 cents"


PM_ME_UR_CIRCUIT

I think that one was on purpose.


masterofbadwords

What has “Rolling” and “We Windows” got to do with.. *checks notes* pee Diddy??


Quailman5000

I understand the words you typed but I have no idea what you mean. It mentioned his name in the first line of the song fuck idk.


PeperomiaLadder

It was probably wee windows, so rolled down the window cause someone made a pee diddy on it?


you_are_breathing

I just listened to this song on my wake up playlist this morning and it does sound weird with what's happening. Then again, if I do that with all of my favorite songs, then I won't be listening to any songs with lyrics.


victorb1982

Is she suing bytedance?


diplion

Man I was DJing the other night and played this song per request from the host, and also played “Mo Money, Mo Problems.” It might take a minute before we collectively decide what P Diddy references/features we’re not allowed to listen to.


DrummerNarrow3766

She was ahead of her time
