I went over to a friend's house to watch the Phillies game tonight, and while I was there, he insisted on playing for me this new Ashlee Simpson song he's got stuck in his head. (Yes, he's kind of a girl.) Anyway, the main hook of the song consists of Ashlee singing "L-O-L-O-L-O-L-O-Love" eight gazillion times. But it's the way she said it that intrigued me, like the word "'ello" spoken in a Cockney accent. To test my theory, I mentioned Lily Allen's song "Smile" to my friend, how sultry she sounds throughout the entire song but especially when describing what her boyfriend did to the girl next door. He agreed, and came back with a comment about his trip to Brazil last year. Apparently one of the numerous people he met down there was an English girl who smoked and had an unimaginably filthy mouth, so even though she was only moderately attractive, she became the most desirable person there in his mind. (I have to assume he was also drinking heavily, but still.) Anyway, we both arrived at the conclusion that while we don't exactly know why, there is something about that type of accent that makes swear words unbelievably hot.
So if there are any English chicks... sorry, "birds" out there who'd like to record themselves cursing randomly into a microphone for an hour and send it along, well, that would just be swell.
