TIK TOK- Ke$ha
Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy
(Hey, what up girl?)
Grab my glasses, I'm out the door, I'm gonna hit this city
(Lets go)
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
'Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't coming back

I'm talking pedicure on our toes, toes
Trying on all our clothes, clothes
Boys blowing up our phones, phones
Drop-topping, playing our favorite CDs
Pulling up to the parties
Trying to get a little bit tipsy

Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'mma fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no

Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'mma fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock, on the clock
But the party don't stop, no

Ain't got a care in world, but got plenty of beer
Ain't got no money in my pocket, but I'm already here
And now, the dudes are lining up cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger

I'm talking about everybody getting crunk, crunk
Boys tryin' to touch my junk, junk
Gonna smack him if he getting too drunk, drunk

Now, now, we go until they kick us out, out
Or the police shut us down, down
Police shut us down, down
Po-po shut us

Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'mma fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no

Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'mma fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no

DJ, you build me up
You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me

With my hands up
You got me now
You got that sound
Yeah, you got me

DJ, you build me up
You break me down
My heart, it pounds
Yeah, you got me

With my hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up

Now, the party don't start 'til I walk in

Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'mma fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no

Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'mma fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no

TikTok is a popular song by adolescents today for a couple of reasons. The song has a catchy beat and rhythm is exciting. She is an up and coming popular artist. She is new and fresh. This appeals to teens very much. They like new ideas and being different and finding themselves. As far as the lyrics are concerned, many teenagers are into having fun and partying. These lyrics talk about going out with your friends and letting loose and just having a great time and for the most part adolescents are doing just that. Plus it's a great song to dance to! :)

Male/Female Sexual Behavior

So I looked through a couple magazines. One geared towards males and one geared more towards females. Both had the same concept in mind but they portrayed them differently. In the male magazine I focused on the advertisement for Axe shampoos and body washes. Their slogan was " How dirty boys get clean". They show girls "flocking" towards boys because of their use of the product. This product gives the idea and almost praises boys for having multiple girls chasing after them. On the other hand the CoverGirl ad focuses on girls having more of a reserved sexuality, and being more subtle with it. There is just one girl in the ad who is "flirting" with just the reader and not a bunch of other people. It is very interesting how the sexuality for boys and girls are portrayed differently, and how boys are praised for having multiple "partners" It is almost a double standard.
