Has anyone been listening to the radio lately?
I started listening to the radio lately because I own an archaic iPod and I lost the charger for it. As a 24 year old girl, I'm pretty shocked by these lyrics. Not because they are provocative...which I was expecting. But some of the lyrics are just outright strange. Who is writing the lyrics to these songs? I feel like somewhere out there, there is a gang of music producers huddled together trying to think of what bright eyed budding music star they can convince to sing these songs. Let me list out a few of these lyrics to you all.
#1
I took a pill in Ibiza; To show Avicii I was cool; And when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older; But F*#* it, it was something to do.
Granted this song goes on to give a heartwarming anti drug message to its listeners (hint sarcasm). All that rings in my head is that first line over and over again.
#2
Work, work, work, work, work, work; He said me haffi; Work, work, work, work, work, work!; He see me do me; Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt! So me put in Work, work, work, work, work, work
And this is a song composed by one of our more renowned radio artists. If I'm going to listen to a song about "work work work" it better be seven dwarfs singing it to me. Also, what does "haffi" mean?

You don't gotta go to work, work, work, work, work, work, work
But you gotta put in work, work, work, work, work, work, work
You don't gotta go to work, work, work, work, work, work, work
Let my body do the work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work
Want to know something frightening? This is a different song than #2

Red velvet, vanilla, chocolate in my life
Confetti, I'm ready; I need it every night
Red velvet, vanilla, chocolate in my life
I-I-I-I-I-I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
Things I don't want to eat by the ocean....cake.

Once I was seven years old, my mama told me,
"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely."
Once I was seven years old
Now the lyrics of this song aren't that bad...but combined with the nursery school style rhythm, it makes for one weird song. I guess I disagree with the rest of the general population because this song is currently #2 on the Billboard Top 100.
Also, as a disclaimer, I'm not totally against the radio. I think Taylor Swift is amazing and I wish I could be half as cool as Meghan Trainor. But seriously, what has happened to modern day lyrics? Ok let's talk about food.

I made this chicken parmesan last weekend after I cleaned out my fridge. I love making this dish because it can provide multiple meals and it makes for great leftovers. I use my go to marina sauce combined with my go to recipe for breaded chicken. This is a no fail meal!
Ingredients:
6 boneless chicken breasts pounded thin
2 cups all-purpose flour combined with salt and pepper
4 large eggs beaten with 2 tablespoons water and a tablespoon of dijon mustard
2 cups seasoned Italian breadcrumbs
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound fresh mozzerella thinly sliced into oval pieces.
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan.
A batch of marinara sauce
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Toss each piece of chicken in flour, dip in egg mixture, and then coat in breadcrumbs. Repeat so that all pieces are coated. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add 2 - 3 chicken breasts to the skillet and brown on both sides (3-5 minutes per side).
In a large 9x13 glass baking pan spoon sauce to cover the bottom of the pan. Arrange the pieces of chicken on top of the sauce. Pour tomato sauce over the chicken. Top the chicken with mozzerella and parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden brown. Season with parsley and fresh tomatoes.
