Admittedly,
I was less-than-impressed by Bruno Mars’ new video featuring his single, ‘Gorilla’
from his album ‘Unorthodox Jukebox’. The strip club setting, the spectacle of
young men gleefully showering a half-naked stoned-looking Frieda Pinto with
dollar bills did not really appeal to the feminist, morally correct side of me.
I was left feeling disappointed that an artist like Bruno Mars should project
women in such a manner so derogatory; surely he ought to have known better than
to encourage the notion of treating women like objects for sex? I had
worshipped him, such a ‘Directioner’ might worship a certain curly haired,
dimpled Harry Styles (oh alright, alright, he’s cute. Very much so. Okay, a
LOT.), and now I was left feeling wounded and sad, like he’d done be a personal
disfavor, and I contemplated posting a harsh comment about it on his Facebook
page (like he’d ever read it.), acting all snooty and pretending that I wasn’t at
all insanely in lust with him.
But then,
curiosity overcame me and I watched the video a second time (the better to
scoff at it, I told myself), it was then that I noticed the intense, hungry way
his eyes followed Pinto’s sexy stride into the room, the way his sweat
glistened on his neck and forehead, and the slightly detached way he looked at
Frieda for a split moment in the backseat of the car they were shown to be
making love in.
I found
myself getting into the whole atmosphere the song created: the dim lights, the
pub crowd, the sexy beat, Frieda’s uninhibited dancing, and Bruno’s song, the
way he sang it, and the way he watched Frieda as he sang…all of it created a
little bubble for me right there, and I, to put it simply, got high off it.
The song
didn’t seem remarkable when I first heard it, but after playing it on loop for
a few times, it began to grow on me, and when I played it again the next
morning, I had begun to sing along to it, trying to imitate Bruno’s sexy croon,
and the way his voice flowed like a wild river, crashing upon the banks and
lifting the listener to a height dangerously close to Nirvana.
Sex, like
love, should be passionate, and you should do it when your other half feels the
same amount of yearning you do for him/her. Now I don’t know how gorillas ‘make
love’, but I’m sure the way their descendants do it isn’t that bad either, and it can
turn into a pretty ‘wild’ experience, as highlighted by our Hawaiian Hotshot
right here. Oh, Bruno.
The song is
potent, you know, and as I listened to it for what seemed the fiftieth time, I
found myself seeing flickering images of a certain person in my mind’s eye, all
of which involved him, shirtless and looking invitingly into my eyes, as he sat
on a plush bed in a room only illuminated by candles and this song playing
none-too-softly in the background. I think that was a bit too much detail. Hey,
I’m only a horny human.
I cannot
fall out of love with Bruno Mars, even though there will always be 5 inches between
us (I mean our heights of course.), and it’s his sensual voice which is growing
inside me, my love for him which is increasing in volume, and his music, which
puts me together at the start, and end of each day.
Incidentally, I know how gorillas do it! Check out 'Wild Sex' of Nat-Geo. Gorillas are creepily horny creatures (but, aren't we all?).
