    Ice Ice Baby has a pickup in the phrase that isn’t in Under Pressure. It’s an easy way to know what’s coming. It’s how Vanilla Ice won against Queen’s copyright infringement lawsuit.

          You’re thinking of Rhianna and Eminem, love the way you lie,.or something like that. It’s hysterical to me that that’s the song you’re talking abt because the person who originally replied to you suggested Eminem and Dido. So. I think you just don’t like Slim Shady.

                  I greet you in urdu, I greet you in hindi
                  I use the sikh battle cry, and value the compassion of Christ
                  I do this in plain view, I do this before all
                  Adamant about walking hand in hand with them all

                  I see a state turning to faith, faith turning to hate
                  Hate turning to votes, votes turn into notes
                  Blacker kind of black money, we’re the antidote
                  Best kind of bloody, yeah, we’re bringin’ the hope
                  You gotta walk the rope, up on your block, provoked
                  I’m what you’re not, show you what I got, rock the boat
                  Where you at? I don’t need no gun
                  I bring the fire and the fury of the third world, son!

                  It’s about politicians who use religion to divide people, and the song title is Gaddaar, which is Hindi for “traitor”. Their other songs include Jee Veerey, which means “live, brave one” and is about suicide and bullying. And Dana Dan, which means “bring the beatdown” and starts with the lyric “I put a fist through the face of a rapist”. There’s also Chakh Le, which means “rise up” and advocates for a revolution against the billionaire class.

                  One of their tours was called Raj Against The Machine and iirc they donated a bunch of profits to animal shelters

                  It’s the most popular metal band in India

    I know that Shrek is all about parody of fairy tales and princesses. But I don’t know what story that character came from. It’s much appreciated if someone can give me an explanation. Thank you.

      I don’t recall totally how they’re used in Shrek, but I’m pretty sure it’s from the “transphobic trap” story. When Shrek was made it was perfectly acceptable (maybe even encouraged) to make fun of trans people and to call them traps.

      Sorry for the slur if it offends anyone, but I’m pretty sure that’s what this trope is.
