      M Olivier Absolutely love this track and Make me feel, but Django Jane is a bit uninspired musically (not lyrically though) and pynk is high on shock value without really having much replay value for me. Still love Janelle and all her past works though. Just think that she's taking a general shift towards a more sexual concept in this album

      I loved Django Jane! I think that’s my favourite so far- she always has a good handle on her use of strings, so I really liked her arrangement.
      I have to say I agree, PYNK was very meh. Video was funny but I’ll probably skip it a fair bit

    Lyrics:
    Sometimes a mystery, sometimes I'm free
    Depending on my mood or my attitude
    Sometimes I wanna roll or stay at home
    Walking contradiction, guess I’m factual and fiction
    [Pre-Chorus]
    A little crazy, little sexy, little cool
    Little rough around the edges but I keep it smooth
    I’m always left of center and that’s right where I belong
    I’m the random minor note you hear in major songs
    [Chorus]
    And I like that
    I don’t really give a fuck if I was just the only one
    Who likes that
    I never like to follow, follow all around, the chase is on
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    I like that
    [Verse 2]
    I don’t care what I look like but I feel good
    Better than amazing, and better than I could
    Told the whole world, I’m the venom and the antidote
    Take a different type of girl to keep the whole world afloat
    [Pre-Chorus]
    'Cause I’m crazy and I’m sexy and I’m cool
    Little rough around the edges but I keep it smooth
    I’m always left of center and that’s right where I belong
    I’m the random minor note you hear in major songs
    [Chorus]
    And I like that
    I don’t really give a fuck if I was just the only one
    Who likes that
    I never like to follow, follow all around, the chase is on
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    I like that
    [Verse 3]
    I remember when you called me weird
    We was in math class, third row, I was sitting by you
    Right before Mr. Ammond’s class
    'Cause my mom couldn’t afford new Js
    Polos, thrift store, thrift clothes that was all I knew
    Do you remember?
    Uh, I remember when you laughed when I cut my perm off
    And you rated me a six
    I was like, “Damn”
    But even back then with the tears in my eyes
    I always knew I was the shit
    [Chorus]
    I like that
    I don’t really give a fuck if I was just the only one
    Who likes that
    I never like to follow, follow all around, the chase is on
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    Oh me, oh me, oh me, oh my
    I like that

      Don't get me wrong, she's beautiful, but you think this was effortless?

      I mean, it probably took multiple people from the hair and makeup department a couple of hours, but yeah, effortless.

      Tammy Franklin it would sound much better if she replaced the f-word with "damn" instead. The f-word is not necessary and too strong for the melody of this song!

    • @runakojackson4344
      @runakojackson4344 6 лет назад +2

      Bird Choyce nah, you are wrong bout the f -word. It's there on purpose. The word "damn " doesn't reflect the same emotional state. Using that word tells you exactly how she feels. It's the only word in the English language that grabs your attention like it does. "Damn" and " Fuck " don't mean the same thing. The word has a place. Not to be replaced. The f- word carries feeling that should be respected. So when people use the word it's there for a reason. That's what the art form is based around. The artist expressing feeling. The f-word was how she felt so the f-word is what you got. Sure, you can clean it up for the young listeners but, what for. They are gonna use the word at some point anyway. It's better they know how to use the word properly. They are gonna hear it a billion more times used improperly. ....... my bad , I don't mean to ramble. You are entitled to your opinion.
