As adequacy readers familiar with the writings of Ronald Barthes will know, that whenever we read a book, or watch a movie, or listen to some music we are engaging in a discourse. Sometimes this process is obvious, for example when watching a didactic or political TV program.
At other times it is more insidious such as the subtle brainwashing and psychological manipulation of 'calming' elevator music. As we consume the media, we interpret it and make our own mark upon it, in much the same way as an animal marks its territory by means of urination. In this article, I will be discussing the signifiers and iconography of 'Spinning Around' by the diminutive pop diva Kylie Minouge, and explaining how a seemingly innocuous piece of music can carry a deeper meaning which is perhaps far less paletable than the happy-go-lucky music would suggest. One which is quite frankly sickening and disgusting. |

Kylie Minogue.
Although few unsophistcated American music fans have heard of her, Australia's most famous export to date has been in the limelight now for over ten years. Her story is one of continual re-invention, of highs and lows. From fresh-faced tomboy in a highly respected tv drama, to bubblegum pop princess, to raunchy sex-symbol to gay icon, Kylie changes her image more often that some people change their underwear, and it seems that her fans simply cannot get enough of her The thing about Kylie is that her seemingly innocent 'bad-but-not-too-bad girl' image appears to cover a covert agenda. That agenda is the liberalist one of 'normalizing' heterosexual anal sex. I won't go into the details of why the liberals want to promote buggery. Their fixation with making sodomy acceptable and their reasons for doing so are well documented elsewhere. I will simply provide some uncontrovertable semiotic evidence to show that Kylie is (either wittingly or unwittingly) contributing to this highly controversial and questionable cause. Spinning Around - Kylie Minogue
I'm spinning around
I'm breaking it down "breaking it down" - this refers to the breaking of taboos. In this case the taboo of anal sex. Kylie is breaking down the taboo in order to promote an analist outlook on life. "I'm not the same" - well obviously she is 'not the same' as the large percentage of the population who find the act of anal sex perverse, disgusting and dangerously depraved. This line almost revels in the perversion, its almost as if Kylie is saying a big 'fuck you' to the vast majority of normal people who would find this behaviour extremely distasteful.
Traded in some sorrow Some more signs here "joy that I borrowed". Kylie has borrowed her sexual technique from the gay community amongst whom she enjoys a large following . "found a new direction" - well that is another way of saying that conventional heterosexual vaginal intercourse is no longer enough, the new direction Kylie appears to have found is an anal one.
I'm spinning around
The mistakes I've made
"no matter how I take it" - anally or vaginally.
"no way I'm gonna fake it" - The symbolism here is not even very well hidden. The song describes how the singer is not going to fake an orgasm, presumably this means that if she cannot obtain satisfaction from conventional clitoral stimulation, then she will have to resort to unnatural anal activities in order to reach a climax. A clear validation of the liberal-analist agenda. I won't bother with the rest of the song, its all pretty much the same, with thinly veiled references to sodomy all over the place, set to a pulsating and thumping disco beat. The problem seems to be endemic in pop music. We have songs encouraging promiscuity, masturbation, fornication and all perversions known to man played continuously on radio and TV. Anything goes it would seem, except normal heterosexual intercourse between two married partners in the missionary position. Our children are being indoctrinated with the liberal-analist mindset as part of the growing battle to undermine family values, indeed research has shown that by the time a child is 16 he/she will have heard over 70000 veiled references to the act of anal copulation, from pop music alone. It is not clear what can be done about this, if anything. The very nature of the sneaky techniques of the liberals is that by the time we normal people realise what the true meaning of the song is, our children are running around happily singing about adult topics which are best saved for the marital bed. This song by Kylie is but one example of this creeping phenomenon. I am sure that any of you out there who regularly listen to 'Top40' radio stations could give hundreds of others.
Kylie is a very talented singer and songwriter as witnessed by her best album yet, recorded with the help of James Dean Bradfield of the Manic Street Preachers. However if she continues to promote anal sex in this subversive and secretive way, she will soon be added to my ever-growing list of 'artists to be avoided' along with the likes of the thong-twanging Sisqo the extra-marital-affair promoting Shaggy and the simply annoying beyond belief So Solid Crew. |
