Can't say much about the way you are...

Interesting story I read in the paper today. Brian McFaddon, of Westlife fame, released a new solo single, Just the way you are (Drunk at the bar), which was met with instant criticism as its lyrics seem to condone date rape. Todays story was him asking they pull the song due to the controversy.

So out of morbid curiosity I listened to the offending song, and while I could barely understand the verses at all, I can certainly see where the chorus has been taken (obviously for him) out of context. Yes, 'damage' and 'advantage' do rhyme, but by golly were they some unfortunate word choices!

But the bit of todays report that made me double take after listening to the song.

McFadden has insisted he wrote the song about long-time fiancee Delta Goodrem and how easily she gets tipsy.

"It's talking about my young lady who doesn't drink and when she has one glass of champagne she gets giddy and I think it's gorgeous," he said.

Delta, tweet us when you deck him.

Top that off that he adds "all messed up, no place to go, flirting at the dace floor, putting on a show". But he likes her anyway. Yeah, I would love it if my hubby felt that way, then told the whole world about it. But its okay because he gets to take me home, drunk as sh!t on one glass of champagne and do some 'damage' while 'taking advantage' of me being drunk.

Well I feel a whole lot better now.

You want to know the worst thing though?

It is possibly the most horrific attempt at a dance song I have ever heard, and I lived through Doop. Its hollow, tinny and just plain bad.

PS: iHubby is nothing like this tosser and is just as horrified at the implications of that song on Delta and Brian's relationship as most of the rest of the world is.
