Shuffle Song Of The Day (1/6/23): “Take It Off” By Ke$ha
“Take It Off” is a song by pop sensation Ke$ha, and it was the 4th single from her debut album, Animal, which was released in 2010
A lot of people forget how dominant (and hot) Ke$ha was when she first came out, but she absolutely ran the radio at one point. In 09-10, she had 3 Number 1 Hits (Tik Tok, We R Who We R, and Timber), and her album, Animal, debuted at Number 1 in multiple countries. Plus, Ke$ha came out right around the time I first started partying, so I get a lot of good nostalgia from hearing her songs about drinking your face off, doing drugs, and having unprotected sex with strangers. I mean, who doesn’t love that?
It really sucks how her story came to an end (so far, at least). She got into a major dispute with her label and producer, including allegations of sexual assault by the latter, and as a result, sort of left the music scene altogether. Still, after all these years, I have high hopes she’ll be back some day with more jams
It’s the weekend folks, so throw this song on your speakers and let’s have a good fucking time. It’s what Ke$ha would want
LYRICS
There’s a place downtown Where the freaks all come around It’s a hole in the wall It’s a dirty free for all When they
When the dark of the night Comes around, that’s the time That the animal comes alive Lookin’ for somethin’ wild And now we lookin’ like pimps In my gold Trans Am Got a water bottle full of whiskey in my handbag Got my drunk text on I’ll regret it in the mornin’ But tonight, I don’t give a, I don’t give a, I don’t give a
There’s a place downtown Where the freaks all come around It’s a hole in the wall It’s a dirty free for all And they turn me on When they take it off When they take it off Everybody take it off There’s a place I know If you’re lookin’ for a show Where they go hardcore And there’s glitter on the floor And they turn me on When they take it off When they take it off Everybody take it off
Lose your mind, lose it now Lose your clothes in the crowd We’re delirious, tear it down ‘Til the sun comes back around N-now we gettin’ so smashed Knockin’ over trash cans Everybody breakin’ bottles, it’s a filthy hot mess And I’m down to get faded I’m not the designated driver So, I don’t give a, I don’t give a, I don’t give a
There’s a place downtown Where the freaks all come around It’s a hole in the wall It’s a dirty free for all And they turn me on When they take it off When they take it off Everybody take it off
There’s a place I know If you’re lookin’ for a show Where they go hardcore And there’s glitter on the floor And they turn me on When they take it off When they take it off Everybody take it off
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh (Everybody, take it off) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh (Everybody take it off) Right now (take it off) Right now (take it off) Right now (take it off) oh-oh-oh Right now (take it off) Right now (take it off) Right now (take it off, everybody, take it off)
There’s a place downtown Where the freaks all come around It’s a hole in the wall It’s a dirty free for all And they turn me on When they take it off When they take it off Everybody take it off There’s a place I know If you’re lookin’ for a show Where they go hardcore And there’s glitter on the floor And they turn me on When they take it off When they take it off Everybody take it off
