So there's a Tik Tok video going around with a guy down at Mardi Gras singing the Kevin Gates Song, "Thinking Wit My D*ck".

It's not exactly a masterpiece, but it's kinda a funny song.

I've seen the video.. I've heard the song. I'm good.

Friend of mine from back home posted a long sermon on it this past week about how Tik Tok should be monitoring who's watching what video.

Her son (who's 16) saw it on Tik Tok, found the song on Spotify and downloaded it.

The kid has the newest iPhone, parents paying the bill, and paying for his Spotify. They logged in to see what he was listening to and was appalled at song and confronted their kid. He saw it on Tik Tok and wanted the song.

It was a long Karen spiel. My kid's a good kid, someone influenced him, made him get this song, etc.

Well.. I couldn't keep my thumbs off my phone. Why don't you stop paying for Spotify? We can't do that, that's where he listens to his Christian music and that's what he listens to all the time. When he's not jamming to "Thinking With My D*ck" apparently. Well take the phone away. We can't do that, do you know how embarrassing that would be to him? What would his friends say? How would he talk to his friends?

At this point I couldn't help myself.

I said, You know when we were 16, we bought CDs and hid them well from our parents and we didn't have phones. We talked to our friends when we saw them at school or other functions or we'd meet up on the weekends. If I recall correctly, I was in the backseat of your car the first time I heard "My Neck, My Back" and you played that on repeat, and it's no worse than that song.

I was unfriended a few minutes later

You should have sent her a YTube of Chuck Berry singing, "My Ding-a-ling!" If she was honest she would have remembered and smiled! Nothing new under the sun!

I had a friend that passed away my first year in college, and the first Christmas after she left this world, several of us went to her parents' house that Christmas Eve and they asked if we wanted to participate in their yearly tradition.. They put that record, not CD, record on and played that song. For a moment they were smiling and enjoying the season.
