(no subject)
Aug. 9th, 2018 10:39 pm I was just thinking about how people like to get offended by religious metaphors/references in secular pop music so here's a playlist. Literally just what I came up with in the shower and while typing this, so not complete or deep.
Ariana Grande, "God Is A Woman"
King Princess, "Holy" -- probably no one's getting offended by this unless they're already offended by queerness and genderqueerness but it felt related
Lady Gaga, "Alejandro" and "Judas"
The Beatles, "The Ballad of John & Yoko"
Madonna, "Like A Prayer" -- Obviously the Beatles predate this and I don't think King Princess is necessarily going for Madonna, but like... Lady Gaga definitely is and Ariana Grande casts her as Samuel L Jackson so...
