A fun thought experiment: Pick any Kesha song (excluding ballads) and sing the lyrics to yourself in your head. Stop at the point it could no longer apply to Nicolas Cage. (“Hot and dangerous, if you’re one of us then roll with us, ‘cause we make the hipsters fall in love when we’ve got our hot pants on and up, and yes of course we does, we running this town just like a club, and no, you don’t wanna mess with us, got Jesus on my necklace-ace-ace,” and then arrive at the chorus of “We R Who We R” and we’re out.)
That’s especially true of Kesha’s latest song which is, yes, about Nicolas Cage.
It’s not a single from High Road, her solid, self-assured fifth studio album. It’s just a very special treat.
This is somehow both an unexpected pairing and the perfect marriage of artist and subject. The song links together titles of and references to Cage’s films (and life) and makes them a celebration of being more extra than extra (or, in Kesha’s words, being “on some Nicolas Cage shit.”) It even includes a sample of Cage’s voice (from 2010's Kick-Ass).
We have but two complaints. First, it’s only 60 seconds long (or rather, it’s…. Gone In 60 Seconds. Kesha, you mad genius.) Second, there’s not nearly enough Mandy in there. Kesha, have you seen Mandy? We have a feeling you’d love it.

Guys, couldn’t you have found some more flattering pix for this headline?
No.
No.
That’s ok, I love you both just as you are!
Kesha up there is lookin’ like Cher dressed as low-point Lindsay Lohan.
…With a haircut by Yolandi from Die Antwoord
By way of Dean Martin and Ed McMahon. I’m not sure I’d serve her, NTTAWWT. These industry events are notorious for being a boring pain in the ass. Maybe just tone down the pre party a little. Or, you know, eat lunch.
I assume the pictured soccer mom wearing dollar store makeup and the least important member of an all-white reggae band are extremely offended by your comment.
that is how you look when you are hammered all the time. they couldn’t find a more flattering pic of either of them

I think, deep down, we all knew it would come to this.
Jesus, Kesha, DRINK much!?!??!
Filmmakers of the future: if your period movie needs to evoke 2011, make sure the characters are listening to Kesha, and How I Met Your Mother is constantly playing in the background. That’s all.
Man I miss 2011
