Midnight Music Cut... : On Becoming a Domestic and Laboratory Goddess

Profile

The Egyptian goddess Isis was celebrated as the ideal wife and mother. The blogger known as Dr. Isis has some fancy-sounding degrees and is a physiologist at a major research university working on some terribly impressive stuff. She blogs about balancing her research career with the demands of raising small children, how to succeed as a woman in academia, and anything else she finds interesting. Also, she blogs about shoes. In fact, she blogs a lot about shoes.

...And behold, he raised the motherfucking Jameson on high as Isis bedecked her feet in glory, and the masses were sated. -- The Holy Gospel According to PhysioProf

Midnight Music Cut...

Category: Ass Shaking Jams
Posted on: December 18, 2008 12:54 AM, by Isis the Scientist

Tonight I am trying to crank out some analyses. Tomorrow I will have some hot science meanderings for you, but right now I am singularly (almost) focused on these data. In the meantime, I have been listening to a copy of Beyonce's new album that the much-hipper-and-much cooler-than-I Brother Isis sent me. It's not bad and there are a couple of ass shaking songs. But there is one song that has me puzzled...

Video 1: "He has a big ego."

Can one of you wacky folks tell me, is this song coyly referring to a penis?

No. But I hope she's coyly referring to a penis. Otherwise, to unreservedly enjoy this song, you'd have to shake your ass so hard that you couldn't hear the lyrics anymore. I would, at least.

Of course, I'm sure no one can shake ass like the Goddess can. And I do have a Fat Joe jam in my exercise mix that is worse.

Wishing you a night of wild hot data,

Juniper, who is in it for the science. ;)

Some lyrics just make you cringe so much you can't listen to the song unselfconsciously. I can't listen to this at the moment (keeping audio off) but here's another one that had me laughing out loud during a haircut in a foreign country... it was hard to explain what I was laughing at:

I have consulted Mr. Isis on the matter and he assures me that the song is, indeed, about some dude's parts. Then he grabbed his junk in solidarity.

...

Well, with the old school reference to 'special purpose' at the beginning . . .I immediately thought of The Jerk which makes me think . . yeah, a not so coy reference to a penis.

But the deep thinker might find it all a salute to the 'big ego'.

I am really surprised that 'breastfeeding' draws 18 comments; 'penis' but three. One might think your readers have their priorities straight. No pun intended.
