Continuing my Thai pop bender, I just came across some serious so-bad-it’s good awesomenitude. Tata Young’s “Sexy Naughty Bitchy”. Listen to how rebellious she is! She’s all like “I pick all my skirts to be a little too sexy / Just like all my thoughts always get a bit naughty / When I’m out with my girls, I always play a bit bitchy / Can’t change the way I am / Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy me!” Her mouth never takes a holiday! She was always the kid in school who turned up to each class about an hour late*! Ooooooh rebellious! Look at her strutting around in what looks like a set modelled after Bardot’s Poison clip. Actually, the music sounds a bit first album Bardot. The track is from 2006, I guess.

The main reason I like this is that the chorus is designed around the words in the title; it’s pretty much the words that teenage girls would like the most when they learn English. It turns Tata Young’s record into the embodiment of that point when you’re in Year 8 learning a second language for the first time, laughing with your friends about whatever that language’s word for “fuck” is.

This is some seriously awesome awful, so-wrong-it’s-right songwriting; I wish I’d seen her when she was in Perth last year now though I suspect she’s gone all slow-ballad-Christina-Aguilera on us.
