I’m grateful to commenter DJ Ri-Mix, who offers up another date rape jam for our collection: “Shots” by LMFAO and featuring Lil Jon. This one is a doozy, ladies!

Date Rape Anthem: LMFAO’s “Shots,” an ode to repeatedly ingesting one-ounce doses of liquor. And cock-sucking!

Relevant Lyrics:

Shots shots shots shots shots shots
Shots shots shots shots shots
Shots shots shots shots shots

Everybody
The ladies love us / When we pour shots
They need an excuse / To suck our cocks
We came to get crunk / How ‘bout you?
Bottles up / Let’s go round two

Why It’s So Rapey: Hold up—-that was round one? We’re only at round one, and all the ladies who previously had no intention of sucking LMFAO’s cocks have already found an excuse to do so? WTF happens in round two?

The women come around everytime I’m pourin’ shots
Their panties hit the ground everytime I give em shots
So cups in the air, everybody lets take shots.

In-da-club vaginal penetration, I’m guessing.

I kind of get LMFAO: They’re a couple of hipster hip-hop boys, so when they do shit like name themselves “LMFAO,” and appear on the Kardashian sisters’ reality television show, and go to Canada, and rap about receiving oral sex from drunk chicks, their tongues are at least a little bit in-cheek. Still: Proudly proclaiming that women “need an excuse to suck our cocks” and trade their panties for liquor isn’t exactly LMFAO-out-loud funny—-it’s actually been done before, guys, and peppering your babe-a-licious video with some hipster sensibilities doesn’t magically transform a Lil Jon song into satire.
