			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[youtube:v=btN5yuVcRes]</p>
<p>Have you always wanted to blame your casual sexual encounters on the Goose, but the words just never came out right? Put another way: Do you have a bunch of <a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2009/05/18/top-five-date-rape-anthems/">date-rapey sentiments</a> to unload upon the general public, but don't want to have to use your recognizable, human voice? The "<a href="http://iamtpain.smule.com/">I Am T-Pain</a>" iPhone application is here to help.</p>
<p>According to <strong>Pitchfork</strong>'s review of T-Pain's new <a href="http://pitchfork.com/news/36415-want-to-sound-just-like-t-pain-theres-an-app-for-that/">democratization of the Auto-Tune</a>, the function "can make anyone's voice sound like that of a sex-addicted robot. I just tried it; it works." T-Pain has plenty of sketchy drunk sex jams to choose from, but the sketchiest is his lasting contribution to <strong>Jamie Foxx</strong>'s <a href="http://www.albumrankings.com/showSong.php?song_id=970264">Blame It (On the Alcohol)</a>. Give your $2.99 to T-Pain, and let's review:</p>
<p><span id="more-6269"></span></p>
<blockquote><p><em>Girl I know you feel good, just like you look<br />
Couple more shots you open up like a book<br />
I ain´t trippin (cause ima read ya)<br />
Shawty I ain´t trippin  (I jus wanna please ya)<br />
I'mma take a shot of Nuvo, shawty then you know<br />
What's goin' down we can go and kick it like judo.<br />
</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><em> Ya know what I mean:<br />
<strong>Shawty got drunk and thought it all was a dream,<br />
So I made her say I, I, I, I! </strong><br />
Now she got her hand on my leg<br />
And got my seats all wet in my ride (all wet in my ride)<br />
All over my ride (all over my ride),<br />
She look me dead in the eye (eye, eye, eye)<br />
Then my pants got bigga and she already knew what to figga<br />
Had her looking at her boyfriend like, fuck that nigga! </em></p></blockquote>
<p>That's right, ladies: When T-Pain opens you up like a book in his ride, but you are so drunk you<em> think you are sleeping</em>, don't worry! You are allowed to wake up the next morning and blame it on the Goose (alternately, you may blame it on the 'Tron). What are we not to blame it on? You guessed it: T-Pain.<em><br />
</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blame it on <strong>Jamie Foxx</strong>. Since I began <a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2009/05/18/top-five-date-rape-anthems/">outing popular date rape songs</a>, the nominations for "<a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2009/05/19/jamie-foxx-and-rape-vs-rapey/">rapey</a>" tracks have been pouring in. At this point, I'm having a hard time finding a song that's <em>not </em>secretly about acquaintance rape. Below, your picks.</p>
<p>[youtube:v=Na4x2Uwflmg]</p>
<p><strong>Date Rape Anthem</strong>: The<strong> Music For Misanthropes</strong> blog <a href="http://musicformisanthropes.com/2009/05/25/case-of-the-day-off/">suggests</a> <strong>50 Cent </strong>featuring <strong>Justin Timberlake'</strong>s "She Wants It."</p>
<p><strong>Relevant Lyrics</strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>She she, she want it, I want to give it to her<br />
She know that, it's right here for her<br />
I want to, see you break it down<br />
I'm ballin', throwing money around</em></p>
<p><em>She work it girl, she work the pole<br />
She break it down, she take it low<br />
She fine as hell, she about the dough<br />
She doing her thing out on the floor</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Why It's So Rapey</strong>: Hmm, how does 50 Cent know "she want it"? Oh yeah, she's a stripper. Who flirts with you <em>for money</em>. Not the same thing, 50.</p>
<p><span id="more-4105"></span></p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><strong>Date Rape Anthem</strong>: Commenter <strong>Cronin </strong><a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2009/05/18/top-five-date-rape-anthems/#comment-7719">suggests</a> <strong>Prince Paul'</strong>s "Beautiful Night (Manic Psychopath)" [<a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/3c4fa65ddd/beautiful-night-for-a-killing-from-adam-siegel">Watch the video at <strong>FunnyOrDie</strong></a>].</p>
<p><strong>Relevant Lyrics</strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Took this girl out to the movies you know<br />
Dinner, the whole shit, you know<br />
We had the lovely time, y'know..<br />
Took her back to the crib, y'know<br />
I spent a lot of money on her<br />
I-I-I passed off, so I felt like she should pass off (mm-hmm)<br />
Y'know? But she didn't.. so I took it!</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Why It's So Rapey</strong>: This rape-theft-murder scenario is presented as a dream, egged on by a Freudian interpreter. It's actually pretty sweet. But as Cronin points out, it's also "pretty freakin' rapey."</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>[youtube:v=WBMpaFiX7bw]</p>
<p><strong>Date Rape Anthem</strong>: <strong>Rob</strong> of <a href="http://dcblog43.com/">DCBlog43</a> suggests<strong> Ludacris</strong> featuring <strong>T. Pain</strong>'s "One More Drink"</p>
<p><strong>Relevant Lyrics</strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>If I take one more drink,<br />
I'm gon' end up fuckin' you,<br />
Is that watchu wanna do, shawty?<br />
If I take one more drink,<br />
I'm gon' end up fuckin' you,<br />
You too.</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Why It's So Rapey</strong>: This song, at least, asks shawty what she wanna do. Still, she's only asked her opinion after T. Pain announces he's "gon' end up fuckin'" her (anyway?). Plus, T. Pain <a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2009/05/18/top-five-date-rape-anthems/">is a repeat offender</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Date rape has been getting some pretty heavy rotation on the airwaves since <strong>Jamie Foxx</strong>'s latest single, "Blame It (On the Alcohol)," dropped. The song details Foxx's pursuit of an increasingly drunk lady in da club, and features <strong>T. Pain</strong>, who chimes in on his vocoder: "Couple more shots you open up like a book." If you want to know what it's like to be double-date-raped by a movie star and a dude who speaks only through a vocoder, this song is for you.</p>
<p>But Foxx and Pain aren't the first to make raping someone you know into record gold. Below, five of the most notable date rape anthems in recording history.</p>
<p>[youtube:v=2Jw24LbeV-w]</p>
<p><strong>Date Rape Anthem</strong>: Jamie Foxx's "Blame It (On the Alcohol)," in which Foxx attempts to fuck a woman who "says she usually don't" but that he knows is "frontin" because "she don't wanna seem like she's easy." (But she is). Foxx knows she's ready to admit she wants it when "she spilled some drink on me / And now I'm knowin' she tipsy." My neighbor has this song as her ringtone.</p>
<p><strong>Relevant Lyrics</strong>:</p>
<p><span id="more-4003"></span></p>
<blockquote><p><em>B</em><em>lame it on the goose, gotcha feeling loose<br />
Blame it on the 'tron, gotcha panties off<br />
Blame it on the ah-ah-ah-alcohol, blame it on the ah-ah-ah-alcohol<br />
Blame it on the vodka, blame it on the henny<br />
Blame it on the blue tap got you feeling dizzy<br />
Blame it on the ah-ah-ah-alcohol, blame it on the ah-ah ah-ah ah-al-co-hol</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><em></em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Why It's So Rapey</strong>: She doesn't want it until she's had such a serious combination of cocktails that she's spilling drinks on Jamie Foxx. Foxx, of course, knew better than she alllll alongggg.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>[youtube:v=F5Cf5OusjrQ]</p>
<p><strong>Date Rape Anthem</strong>: The Toadies' "Possum Kingdom," a first-person appeal to a future rape/murder victim to go with the Toadies' ultimate skeezy dude "behind the boathouse."</p>
<p><strong>Relevant Lyrics</strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Make up your mind<br />
Decide to walk with me<br />
Around the lake tonight<br />
By my side<br />
I'm not gonna lie<br />
I'll not be a gentleman<br />
Behind the boathouse<br />
I'll show you my dark secret</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Why It's So Rapey</strong>: More a date-murder anthem, the Toadies still suggest that she'll "Give it up to me, Give it up to me" before she becomes his "angel."</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>[youtube:v=1WBttO4UzSw]</p>
<p><strong>Date Rape Anthem</strong>: Sublime's "Date Rape," a ska jaunt through a woman's acquaintance rape, her legal battle, and the rapist's punishment. Popular among Arizona middle school students.</p>
<p><strong>Relevant Lyrics:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em>Thats when things got out of control.<br />
She didnt want to, he had his way.<br />
She said, lets go<br />
He said, no way!<br />
Come on babe its your lucky day.<br />
Shut your mouth, were gonna do it my way.<br />
Come on baby dont be afraid,<br />
If it wasnt for date rape Id never get laid.</em><br />
<strong></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Why It's So Rapey</strong>: This date rape song has a positive moral ending: "It does not pay / Drunk and horny." But it then goes on to advocate for prison rape: "Well, I cant take pity on men of his kind," Sublime's <strong>Bradley Nowell</strong> sings. "Even though he now takes it in the behind."</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>[youtube:v=X9re6CQZGFw]</p>
<p><strong>Date Rape Anthem</strong>: Frank Loesser's "Baby, It's Cold Outside," a tug-of-war duet between an unwilling female and a drink-mixing male. Penned in 1944, decades before the term "date rape" entered our collective consciousness.</p>
<p><strong>Relevant Lyrics</strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I really can't stay&#8212;Baby it's cold outside<br />
I've got to go away&#8212;Baby it's cold outside<br />
This evening has been</em><em>&#8212;B</em><em>een hoping that you'd drop in<br />
So very nice</em><em>&#8212;</em><em>I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice<br />
My mother will start to worry</em><em>&#8212;</em><em>Beautiful, what's your hurry<br />
My father will be pacing the floor</em><em>&#8212;</em><em>Listen to the fireplace roar<br />
So really I'd better scurry</em><em>&#8212;</em><em>Beautiful, please don't hurry<br />
well Maybe just a half a drink more</em><em>&#8212;</em><em>Put some music on while I pour</em></p>
<p><em>The neighbors might think</em><em>&#8212;</em><em>Baby, it's bad out there<br />
Say, what's in this drink</em><em>&#8212;</em><em>No cabs to be had out there<br />
I wish I knew how </em><em>&#8212;</em><em>Your eyes are like starlight now<br />
To break this spell</em><em>&#8212;</em><em>I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell<br />
I ought to say no, no, no, sir</em><em>&#8212;</em><em>Mind if I move a little closer<br />
At least I'm gonna say that I tried</em><em>&#8212;</em><em>What's the sense in hurting my pride<br />
I really can't stay&#8212;Baby don't hold out<br />
Ahh, but it's cold outside </em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Why It's So Rapey</strong>: Dubbed by Urban Dictionary as the "<a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=christmas%20date%20rape%20song">Christmas Date Rape Song</a>," "Baby, It's Cold Outside" has endured as a classic date rape anthem because (a) it was ahead of its time; (b) the lyrics are unimaginably date-rapey&#8212;the woman tells the man her "answer is no," but he continues to ply her with drinks and exaggerated weather-based fears until she sleeps over; and (c) it's nevertheless celebrated as a Christmas classic.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>[youtube:v=yJj8_6VhAyI]</p>
<p><strong>Date Rape Anthem</strong>: Anal Cunt's "You Were Too Ugly to Rape So I Beat the Shit Out of You," a song which <a href="http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/analcunt/defendersofthehate.html#3">claims to have lyrics</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Relevant Lyrics</strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I drank a case of whiskey<br />
And you looked like Jeanine Jizm<br />
I drank another case of whiskey<br />
And you looked like Roseannie Barr</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Why It's So Rapey</strong>: Okay, I'm not sure "I drank a case of whiskey" qualifies as a date, and Anal Cunt does decide to "beat the shit" out of her instead of raping her, and I'm pretty sure they don't actually say anything in this song, but I think it still counts.</p>
