Radio station managers got a bit of good news this week: There wasn’t going to be any rumored song release by singer Rihanna and boyfriend Chris Brown.
They’re off the hook, the, for the time being. They won’t have to decide how much air time to give a love duet sung by a man and woman as they await his arraignment on two felony counts for assaulting her.
The prospect was hideous, and luckily one we’ll be spared. In its place, we may yet hear a song the two recorded earlier, before Brown’s Feb. 8 attack.
So we may be inflicted with a syrupy song that unwittingly chronicles the grooming of a future victim of abuse. Yuck. There are enough of such to constitute their own small genre, unfortunately.
Even something as innocuous as a staple of the high-school musical, “The King and I,” comes with its own creepy lament. Stop and think about this Rodgers and Hammerstein anthem of co-dependency:
“The thoughtless things he’ll do/Will hurt and worry you/Then all at once he’ll do/Something wonderful. “And its previous verse: “Now and then he’ll say/Something wonderful.”
Now and then?!? Now and then he’s great, but mostly he’s thoughtless and hurtful? Honey, are you paying even the slightest attention to what you’re singing?
And did Rodgers himself realize he was mimicking the emotional roller-coaster of an abusive relationship when he composed a tune that abruptly veered back and forth from a minor to major key?
Setting bar, of course, is the 1962 jaw-dropper, “He Hit Me,” lyrics by Gerry Coffin, music by Carole King. The story is they wrote it after hearing singer Little Eva say her boyfriend hit her, but that she saw his violence as symbolizing how much he loved her:
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
He hit me, but it didn’t hurt me…
He hit me and I knew he loved me
Cause if he didn’t care for me
I could have never made him mad…
Even in 1962, when there wasn’t much notion of the psychological underpinnings of battered women, this song triggered enough revulsion to doom it commercially.
However, today that song lives on as a downloadable ringtone. Can you imagine the stared you’d get with that chirping away in a crowd? It should e bundled with one’s local domestic violence hotline number as a bonus.
In there is an sanity in this world, any Brown-Rihanna duet should be DOA, as in dead on arrival.
Yet radio stations are in a jam, for it bound to be popular. It will be the object of curiosity for most listeners, and for a slice too big to ignore, it will actually be welcomed.
The couple’s younger fans are at the stage in their lives when they love the drama. In their own lives, they text about it, gossip about it, talk about what he said to her after she caught him talking to that other girl. It’s a life whose daily chorus is punctuated by, “Oh no, she di-int!”
An essential part of that drama - perhaps the whole part of it - is the emotional reunion. There’s the break-up, then the make-up.
So this crowd might really fall for the Rihanna-Brown dramatic duet, finding it romantic. Can’t you just hear the sighs?
For this generation, then, domestic violence may come with its own soundtrack, downloaded to a ringtone near you.
