What was baby shark speaking to politically? "What does the fox say" about interest rates?
I get what you mean, it's just funny to apply that to obvious nonsense music lol
Hey some nonsense songs have political undertones, for example chocolate rain.
Some stay dry while others feel the pain.
edit: Okay after reminding myself of the lyrics it's actually a proletarian anthem and a banger
Baby shark is an anthem against marriage equality, it was clearly pushing for a man an a woman when calling out momma shark and daddy shark. It is clearly in the bands constitution, they stand for traditional family values and will never accept the idea of marriage not being between an man and a woman. That's the way it was for Grandma shark, and the way it will be for baby shark.
Don't even get me started on how the sound of the fox represents the invisible hand of the Fed choosing who gets rich.
/S, just in cass it wasn't obvious.
Baby Shark is about the increasing rise of extended families as a "nuclear family" is a thing of the past. "What Does the Fox Say?" is pretty clear on what the fox has to say about interest rates:
Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding! Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding! Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Since no one really responded with a serious answer I'll go ahead and chime in.
The art itself my not carry a poignant message about our political world, but it exists in a political world and thus is political in nature.
It could be argued that everyone has an obligation to honestly and intellectually engage with the political nature of our world. And by not doing this an artist is choosing to ingore the political nature of their own reality
Choosing to "not be political" is itself a political stance. Regardless of whether or not it was a conscious one
(And yes, I know sometimes people just want to have fun. I'm not condemning fun. Just giving a serious response to the silly extreme example)
(Also, also there's a whole 'nother can of worms if you want to talk about art as commodity)
