I really like Nellie Mckay's music. She's quirky and smart and plays a mean piano with the elegant air of days gone by. This is a new song "Mother of Pearl" off her new album Obligatory Villagers. Please recognize the tongue in cheek nature of her work. Here are the lyrics:
Feminists don't have a sense of humor
Feminists just want to be alone (boo-hoo)
Feminists spread vicious lies and rumor
They have a tumor on their funny bone
They say child molestation isn't funny
Rape and degradation's just a crime (lighten up, ladies)
Rampant prostitution, sex for money (what's wrong with that)
Can't these chicks do anything but whine
Dance break
Woo-hoo
(Take it off)
They say cheap objectification isn't witty, it's hot
Equal work and wages worth the fight (sing us a new one)
On demand abortion, every city (okay, but no gun control)
Won't these women ever get a life
Feminists don't have a sense of humor (poor Hilary)
Feminists and vegetarians
Feminists spread vicious lies and rumor
They're far too sensitive to ever be a ham
That's why these feminists just need to find a man
I'm Dennis Kucinich, and I approve this message
