You must be a masochist

I like the song too but it's kind of stretch to say it's about gay sex just because you can take the lyrics out of or in context to make it seem sexual. Plenty of songs don't use sexual language but are still talking about sex. Likewise, Montero uses sexual language but really it's talking about non-sexual things.

I wanna feel on your rear end in Hawaii
I want that jet lag from fuckin' and flyin'
Shoot a child in your mouth while I'm ridin'

Like, if you're a 14 year old you might think this was some horny thing to say, but through a more mature lens you can see the real commentary

edit: Just sayin, you could say all that in church if you bleeped out the f-bomb and everyone would nod and get it, wouldnt take it the wrong way

IKR, and lil nas x didn't even show his whole rear end in Montero as much as some of the goons in this thread.

well why not

if u think about it, a song which has the refrain lifted from a movie about a gay couple, and in which the performer claims that they're "only here to sin" and "wanna gently caress the ones I envy" is not at all about gay sex.

montero is aspirational, about the kind of relationship you should seek with Christ. if you think its about sex because of the words and its all satanic because there was a devil in the music video and the artists intention like yeah, thats a fine surface level read but its the same as people who think "born in the usa" is a patriotic song. If you cant see the hidden message about grace and a personal relationship with the messiah, maybe you should listen to it again and get your mind out of the gutter

Come on dude, give one reason this song is about gay sex that doesn't have to do with obvious interpretations of the lyrics, the artists intent, the video's imagery and iconography, or reasonable understanding of language and communication. Oh wait you can't because you're a loving pervert who should think a little more about raw dogging christ's grace instead of some other dude's graceless holes

Songwriting is changing to exploit the way streaming pays out. Two priorities: Spotify only pays out if somebody listens to a song for more than 30 seconds, so those 30 seconds gotta be catchy as hell. After that, the song is going to be short to increase the amount of times somebody can stream it, making it more likely to beat out a song that's longer in length. One sale used be one sale, regardless of how long the songs were. Now, the amount of times somebody listens to the song counts, so the songs have to be short.

Ehh, radio stations used to refuse to play a song 3 minutes or longer, so it's not exactly a new phenomenon.

Yep, and it’s pretty much killed the concept of a proper intro to a song. If the vocal doesn’t start within the first 10 sec, you’re on thin ice buddy.

Not that I think this is entirely a bad thing. We’re just going back to the era of short pop singles that dominated the charts in the 50s-60s.

Yeah, ages ago. But time is a flat circle.
As an aside, Radio djs in the 70s loved long album cuts so they could go smoke a joint and take a dump for 6 minutes.

Exactly. Some people lament the death of albums but whatever, this is exactly how the music industry operated pre-Beatles.

I got Old Town Road on repeat b/c this thread & its intrinsic catchiness. No shade on Montero, it just doesn't get caught in my head the same way. It's a good opening for Montero once ppl get hooked though.

E: like, 0% shade on Montero, OTR is like top 5 catchiest songs I've ever heard.
