I told you a few days ago that Miley Cyrus, desperate for a hit, has returned to shock pop.
She’s dropping an EP tonight with a song called “DREAM (Drugs Rule Everything Around Me).” It’s not ironic. She’s telling her fans to pop a ‘Molly’, i.e. Ecstasy, a drug that could get her teens fans killed pretty fast if they’re not careful. She also rhymes Molly with Dolly, meaning her idol, Dolly Parton. I wonder how Dolly will feel about that. She also has an X rated duet with RuPaul.

Here are the lyrics:
[Verse 1: Miley Cyrus]
You’re in my bed uninvited
It’s fine ’cause I’m in a mood
Hope you don’t mind if I spike it
We’ll drink it, just me and you
[Pre-Chorus: Miley Cyrus]
And you know we’re gonna be alright
We’ll be sleeping on a red-eye flight
Keep up with me ’til the end of the night
And we’re just gettin’ started
[Chorus: Miley Cyrus]
Always last to leave the party
Drugs rule everything around me
Wake up with new tattoos on my body
Drugs rule everything around me
Hit the ghost, raise a toast, pop the molly
I can go toe to toe, like I’m Olly
We’re all tryna feel the lonely
Drugs rule everything around me
[Post-Chorus: Miley Cyrus]
Drugs rule everything around me
Drugs rule everything around me
[Verse 2: Miley Cyrus]
These planes are all UFOs
And this city’s in outer space
It’s better than where we came from
I think that we both should stay
[Pre-Chorus: Miley Cyrus]
‘Cause you know we’re gonna be alright
We’ll be fucking on a red-eye flight
Keep up with me ’til the end of the night
And we’re just gettin’ started
[Chorus: Miley Cyrus]
Always last to leave the party
Drugs rule everything around me
Wake up with new tattoos on my body
Drugs rule everything around me
Hit the ghost, raise a toast, pop the molly
All the girls in my room look like Dolly
We’re all tryna feel the lonely
Drugs rule everything around me
[Post-Chorus: Miley Cyrus]
(Drugs rule everything around me)
Drugs rule everything around me
Drugs rule everything around me
Drugs rule everything around me
Drugs rule everything around me
So what’s going on here? As I told you last week, Miley’s records since “Wrecking Ball,” her big hit, have been sales duds. She returned to a country sound and tried being Reba McIntire, but it either didn’t work or didn’t interest her. The album, Younger Now, has sold just 71,800 copies, and up to 201,500 including streaming of singles, etc. That’s a far cry from her lascivious “Bangerz” album from 2013, which has sold well over 1 million copies in the US alone.
Miley is taking a big gamble here, changing her marketing yet one more time. She began as pristine teen Hannah Montana, morphed into the “Wrecking Ball” singer who twerked on stage with Robin Thicke. She promoted pot use constantly, and made a trippy free album with sex and drug allusions. But her family seemed to get hold of her, and eventually she married a Hemsworth. But “Younger Now” made no impact and a recent single with Mark Ronson didn’t take off. So what to do but go back to what worked: sex and drugs. Shock pop.
Miley’s mom won’t be too happy, either. On the lead off track she sings:
Don’t fuck with my freedom
I came back to get me some
I’m nasty, I’m evil
Must be something in the water or that I’m my mother’s daughter
Don’t fuck with my freedom
I came back to get me some
I’m nasty, I’m evil
Must be something in the water or that I’m my mother’s daughter
The topper, though, is “Cattitude,” featuring Ru Paul:
Turn up your gratitude, turn down your attitude
I love my pussy, that means I got cattitude
If you don’t feel what I’m saying, I don’t fuck with you
If you don’t feel what I’m saying, I don’t fuck with you
Turn up your gratitude, turn down your attitude
I love my pussy, that means I got cattitude
If you don’t feel what I’m saying, I don’t fuck with you
If you don’t feel what I’m saying, I don’t fuck with you
