I recently stumbled upon a whimsical techno-pop song of Lady Gaga's called "Ribbons." Why haven't you heard of it? Well, it's unreleased. But I hope it does get a studio release someday because it is fabulous.
Have a listen!
Fans of Gaga have their suspicions that the songs is about condom usage. Here some lyics from the song that support this conclusion:
All the girls they like their presents, like their presents
When boys wrap 'em up in ribbons, ribbons, ribbons,
Doesn't matter if they're precious or expensive if they're
Well thought out, sexed out, wrapped right.
Every time, get in line and give me mine.
more:
It's the life style that I like, I'll give you yours,
You'll give me mine,
But don't forget to wrap them up in pretty pretty ribbons.
(Lots of presents) It's not complicated,
(Filthy riches) just a fashion statement.
Everybody wrap it up (wrap it up now), everybody wrap it up.
These are just some of the lyrics. What do you think?
*If* the song is about addressing the subject of safer sex then I think it is great that she is making the use of condoms a fashion statement in a completely catchy, not-cheesy way. Making the incorporation of condom usage into sexual practices "Not complicated" is just the message young people need to hear. We need celebrities young people idolize to proclaim a message that condom usage should be the norm, not the exception, and that the use of "Ribbons" is fun!
To end off: here are my favorite lyrics: If you can afford the best, don't be stressed, take a rest. Get a job, do it right. It's my birthday all night."
