Dance Club Monologue

The tone of this song is hopeful. It tells women of all ages to stay true to themselves, even when everyone else around them is changing. This is mostly relatable to teenagers attending high school. In the song it says, “Hold on to your innocence, stand your ground when everyone’s giving in”. During high school, children are introduced to various new things, such as: drugs, sex, and alcohol. It is the students’ personal choice whether to give in to these new additions or not, but the song suggests they stand up even when everyone else around them has given in. The song has three stanzas with four lines. The rhyme scheme is grouped into pairs, rhyming the first two lines and the last two lines in each stanza. Rhyming two consecutive lines can make the song easier to remember. “This One’s for the Girls” is extremely catchy, not only by its meaning, but also its rhyme scheme. It makes an imprint on one’s brain.

“ Hey yourself, glad I caught your eye then. Come dance with me,” she says and before I know it, I’m being whisked away by my devilious dancer. As soon as we hit the floor, the music took control and we danced until our feet could no longer hold us up. I ask her if she wants to stop for a drink and she agrees.

mess I can be when there’s no one there to see” and “could you look the other way cause you love me

“I understand yer better suited to a male who’s roguishly handsome even if I say so myself, ye need a lover who wants to please ye in the wicked arts of

Date rape becomes evident numerous times throughout this tune, when thicke repeats, “you know you want it” this phrase suggests that all girls want is sex, and that even if a girl says no, it actuals means yes. It is also used by sexual predators, to justify their actions Thicke further sings “ but you’re an animal, baby its in your nature”, this lines suggests that girls cannot be tamed; unable to act as human beings but rather animals that are superior to men. Thicke further sings “ just let me liberate you, you don’t need no papers, that man is not your maker”, this lyric suggests that he wants them to be true to their nature, wants them to be wild, free for sexual favours. In this lyric when thicke states ‘ man is not your maker’in itself

The setting is immediately clarified in the first part of the lyrics, a drunken man in a bar.

I walk sexy over to the pole making sure my hips are swaying side to side. I flip my hair to the side as I place my hand on the pole doing a pose on a beat. As the beat drop, I bend down in a sexy position swinging my ass side to side. I stood back up jumping on the pole doing a move as I let the music take over my body.

Lyrics that say“Can’t you see I’m trying? I don’t even like it/ I just lied to get to your apartment/ Now I’m just staying for a while/ I can’t think ‘cause I’m just way too tired” referring to a man lying to go see a lover, but they aren’t doing anything, causing the narrator to go into distrait. However, the narrator puts on a front and pretends to enjoy the company of his lover. Another song such as “Last Nite” hints at a relationship where communication problems exist, and the narrator is tempted to leave. “Last night, she said, ‘Oh, baby, I feel so down/ Oh, it turn me off when I feel left out’/ So I, I turned 'round, oh, baby, don't care no more/ I know this for sure, I'm walking out that

Sinatra's intonation, precisely clipped, yet full and flowing, gave a deeper meaning to the simple lyrics -- "In the wee small hours of the morning/while the whole wide world is fast asleep/you lie awake, and think about the girl...." -- it was like so many of his classics, a song that evoked loneliness and sensuality, and when blended with the dim light and the alcohol and nicotine and late-night needs, it became a kind of airy aphrodisiac. Undoubtedly the words from this song, and others like it, had put millions in the mood, it was music to make love by, and doubtless much love had been made by it all over America at night in cars, while the batteries burned down, in cottages by the lake, on beaches during balmy summer evenings, in secluded parks and exclusive penthouses and furnished rooms, in cabin cruisers and cabs and cabanas -- in all places where Sinatra's songs could be heard were these words that warmed women, wooed and won them, snipped the final thread of inhibition and gratified the male egos of ungrateful lovers; two generations of men had been the beneficiaries of such ballads, for which they were eternally in his debt, for which they may eternally hate him. Nevertheless here he was, the man himself, in the early hours of the morning in

He accentuates you in the first line and go on in the last line. This sounds homophonic with an increase texture. When he says you, me, same street, same everything, and I'm ma go on and take a swing. Meaning he wants to marry her and is telling her cause he knows he can’t live without her. Troubadour’s were singing to their love because they couldn’t live without them either when they sung in Fin’amor style.

1973). Although it does show a very stereotypical romance where the man is wanting sex more than the women. “He talks about how she is beating around the bush and should just love him because he knows she wants to. Although Marvin does say he will not push her to have sex with him, but he contradicts himself when he talks about how she should stop waiting. He also seems to guilt her by saying that if she believes in love she should get it on with him. Melvin is also very persistent with how he tells her they should get it on, that she is what he is dreaming of and that they should make love ” (Gaye M. 1973). This could be very relatable but yet very gender stereotypical of a man in a relationship pushing a sexual relationship onto his significant other. In society it is very stereotypical of the man to be the one to push the women into having sex with him as soon as possible. You more often see men guilt tripping their significant other into having sex with them. The song is also very stereotypical of women by talking about how they wait to have sex in till they are emotionally ready. This song although shows how much he truly cares for his women, it also shows how much he pushes her to have a sexual relationship with him although she may not want to. It shows a lot of problems and differences that typical couples may face when it comes to a sexual relationship and

The theme is persuaded using many different literary devices. Firstly Randy houser uses “Turn the bar into an all night love shack” These lyrics use hyperbole. He can’t physically

Tell me where you hide your heart. If it’s in the ocean I would dive into the Mariana Trench. If it’s in the sky I would tie a rope around the moon. I would dig my hands into the pit of my stomach, and search for my soul-that is where I think I left your soul. I'm sorry. I am lying to you. I can't do any of those things. I am just a man. But if love were a factor I would give you every one of mine. I would give you all of my loves. I would write you poems, I would wash your panties and put the babies to bed. Much later, much much later. There is much us time I want to chew up. I would thatch my fingers in your hair. I’ll by tampons and all your womanly products. But I won’t clean your hair from the sink. I just won’t do that. That’s nasty.

“Baby-girl, your heart I feel. You’ve tasted my juices and my seeds are flowing through you right now,

“Talking away I don’t know what I’m to say I’ll say it anyway Today’s another day to find you Shying away, I’ll be coming for your love, OK?”
