Is it just me? Seriously, I need to know if I’m just an old uptight white guy. I know, I know, this is not news to anyone. It’s a pretty lame topic for my first blog entry since it’s been done a million times, but I couldn’t help myself. I’m not looking to make any news. I just can’t get over this until I write it down. Superman that hoe? Supersoak that hoe?
So, I’m at my daughter’s 6th grade middle school picnic yesterday (“Welcome to Middle School kiddos!”) and the school administrator (who doubles as the school DJ) is spinning everything from 1970s pop to bad wedding songs. Whatever. The kids like it all, right? And no one really cares about lyrics so no one (is it just me?) bats an eye when Soulja Boy’s “Crank Dat Soulja Boy (lyrics)” comes on after a Smashmouth song.

For anyone who has not heard the lyrics reported all over the internet and the assumed meaning attributed to those lyrics by all of us “uptight” folks, I’ll give you the 20 -second version and some links so that I don’t have to bore everyone else with a redux of the same old issue.
Here are some of the lyrics:
Watch Me Crank Dat Soulja Boy den Super Man Dat Hoe I’m Jocking On Yo Bitch Ass And If We Get To Fightin Den im cockin on ya bitch ass Watch Me Super Soak Dat Hoe Soulja Boy Up In This Hoe
Watch me crank dat roosevelt den supa soak dat hoe Den supaman dat bitch Den supaman dat bitch (repeats like 5 times)
OK, so according to Urban Dictionary, “superman dat hoe” means “when you ejaculate on a girls back then put a blanket on her so when she stands up the blanket sticks therefore making her look like she has a cape”. Now, I know that the lyrics I put in this blog are not complete (get the complete lyrics of “Crank Dat Soulja Boy here), so I’m bound to have someone read this and say, “Oh, you’re taking the lyrics out of context.” But please don’t give me that argument and then tell me in the same breath that it’s “just a dance” and that the lyrics mean nothing. If they mean nothing, then context is irrelevant.

For the moment, let’s assume that it is just a dance and that the lyrics mean nothing. That will keep us away from the “out of context” argument.
But that’s not why I’m writing this this entry. I DON’T think it’s just a dance and I want someone to tell me that there’s a good explanation for the lyrics. And here’s why. Recently, “Soula Boy” did a pretty lame job of bailing himself out of the obscene lyrics argument. When asked about it, his only response was:
“‘Superman,’ ‘Crank That’ [is] old. You can tell whoever wrote that was intending to stop my shine. The way they wrote words…it was professionally typed. Ain’t nobody doing nothing like that. At the end of the day, they just came too late with the rumor.”
What the hell does that mean, Soulja Boy? You do “type out” lyrics before you cut a track, right? Or are you just throwing a dart at a board with words on it? This song supposedly created a new dance, right? You want to tell me that there’s no “typed out” version of this song that precedes the recording and then the Crank Dat Soulja Boy video? And next, you’ll be telling me that he made all of this up out of thin air, like dance moves out of his head. Superman dat hoe, supersoak dat hoe, do the hustle, macarena and the two step with dat hoe.
So, what does the song mean? I keep getting arguments from my own friends and family that they don’t know what the lyrics are and they don’t think the kids are listening so it must be just a dance. And the companion argument that there are other songs that people didn’t know the meaning of that are still popular like “YMCA”, that old party favorite. The problem I have with this argument is that YMCA, which I DO believe to be about talking a guy into coming down to the YMCA to hang out with a bunch of gay guys, maybe even for gay sex, never mentions anything sexual. So if that’s true about the song, at least it was both over the heads of anyone hearing it AND it had no sexual lyrics.
I think the claims that it’s “just a dance song” are ba-loney.
The whole point of this rant is that I think that parents and teachers who run your next party, barmitzvah, school function, should at least consider what’s in some of these songs. Every time I bring it up, every one’s like “really, I had no idea.” Here’s another little nugget of joy from a Ludacris song that I just heard this week three times, at a communion party, the middle school picnic and today at our spring carnival (picture all the little kids with their faces painted eating cotton candy):

And Rowl! These women al on the prowl, if you hold the head steady I’m a milk the cow. Forget about the game I’m a spit the truth, I won’t stop till I get em in they birthday suits. So gimmie the rhythm and it’ll be off with they clothes, then bend over to the front and touch your toes. I left the jag and I took the roles, if they aint cutting then I put em on foot patrol. How you like me now, when my pinky’s valued over three hundred thousand, Lets drank you the one to please, Ludacris fill cups like double d’s. Me and Ush once more and we leave em dead, we want a lady in the street but a freak in the bed
Maybe it’s just me . . .
