Before the mass shooting on Friday, Ke$ha’s “Die Young” was the third most played song in the US—reaching 167 million listeners. By Monday, more than 19 million people shunned the song. NOW, it’s been pulled from the airwaves altogether.
If you stop by Ke$ha’s Twitter account you can read a decent-enough message about the situation:
”I’m so so so sorry for anyone who has been effected by this tragedy and I understand why my song is now inappropriate. words cannot express…”
But that’s the edited version…the PC edition…her uncensored comment included the following:
”I understand. I had my very own issue with ‘die young’ for this reason. I did NOT want to sing those lyrics and I was FORCED TO.”
Yes, forced to for millions of Ke$ha $$$$$.
Ke$ha since teamed up with One Republic to help raise money for families of Sandy Hook Elementary victims. Sounds like someone is feeling guilty… Should she? Or does the song have ZERO to do with the shooting?
Lyrics from “Die Young:”
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh what a shame that you came here with someone
So while you’re here in my arms
Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young
We’re gonna die young
We’re gonna die young
Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young
[Beat break]
Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young
Young hearts, out our minds
Runnin like we outta time
Wild childs, lookin’ good
Livin hard just like we should
Don’t care whose watching when we tearing it up (You Know)
That magic that we got nobody can touch (For sure)
Looking for some trouble tonight
Take my hand, I’ll show you the wild, side
Like it’s the last night of our lives
We’ll keep dancing till we die
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh what a shame that you came here with someone
So while you’re here in my arms,
Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young
We’re gonna die young
We’re gonna die young
Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young
[Beat break]
Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young
Young hunks, taking shots
Stripping down to dirty socks
Music up, gettin’ hot
Kiss me, give me all you’ve got
It’s pretty obvious that you’ve got a crush (you know)
That magic in your pants, it’s making me blush (for sure)
Looking for some trouble tonight
Take my hand i’ll show you the wild side
Like it’s the last night of our lives
We’ll keep dancing till we die
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh what a shame that you came here with someone
So while you’re here in my arms,
Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums
Oh what a shame that you came here with someone
So while you’re here in my arms
Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young
We’re gonna die young
We’re gonna die young
Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young

there are alot of songs about dying young that have nothing to do with the CT shootings. if i die young, bury me in satin_ only the good die young_ just to name 2, music to me has always been a celebration of life, it makes you think of everything you have or want or have lost or are looking for in life
