Comments on: I Love Miley Cyrus, and I’m Not Even Sure It’s in an Ironic Way Anymore

It’s funny, because when I was 15, I was taking shit from my friends for NOT liking pop music. Now that everyone has sideswept hair and likes Morrissey, if I went back to high school, I’d have to become goth to stand out, wouldn’t I?

Go ahead and tell that story, because then I’ll remind you how I was in a movie with Meryl Streep where I accidentally bumped into her. You will remind me that my screen time amounted to five seconds, but I will still win in my mind.

No, but really. I’d like to hear it. You have my e-mail address and know that I have been thinking about your application for husbandry for a week now without actually replying to you about it.

I had to undo my close-comments-after-14-days thing to reply to this, because I finally just watched the gay version, and OMG, you’re right, it’s so much better. No WONDER you decided to be gay; it looks like even more fun than being a girl.

Also, because it’s going to weigh on my conscience, I have to tell you that I totally used your story about last.fm with someone at work yesterday. He asked me if I was on it, and I said, “No way! I don’t want anyone seeing how much I listen to that Miley Cyrus song!” He thought it was funny, so maybe when you come back to visit, you can hook up with him. And his wife. And kid.

Your weekend is sort of my dream come true. Kamran doesn’t appreciate the song, I’m not sure a single one of my co-workers has clicked on the YouTube link I send daily, and my ladyfriends here somehow think Madonna is more legitimate than Miley. All I want are eight bridesmaids to dance around in hot pink puff-sleeved strapless dresses with me to that song, and then I can die.

Yes, yes, I am.

Now please tell me you sing along and then throw your arms open wide when you get to the end, like you’ve just won a race and Miley is there to wrap an aluminum blanket around you.

OK, fine. When I run, I like to listen to “The Climb” for the last half-mile or so. Every time I hear that song, I know I’ve got at least another half a mile in me.

THERE. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW.

It’s funny that you say this because my niece is 15, and just getting to the point where she’s taking shit from her friends for liking Miley Cyrus. We were in the car one day, and that song came on, and she was like, “I don’t care. I like it.” And my 21-year-old niece was like, “Me, too!” And I was like, “OH MY GOD, ME TOO!” I don’t think they liked it as much after that.

Oh, man. I totally started to retaliate in the degrees-of-fame thing by typing out all about Nicolas Cage and his son and how Mr. Cage totally like, thanked me as he handed me back the scissors, and then it occurred to me that if I want him to actually come back to the place I work I should NOT be overly able to remember and recount the details online.

So yep. TOTALLY NOT BEING CREEPY. Nope!

HUGE LOLOLOL.

i listened to that song non-stop the other week while writing a massive paper in like two hours. via youtube, of course, since i didn’t want to fuck up my last.fm ratings with pop music. but now that i know other people i admire are enjoying miley, i’m less afraid to tell the world. and by the world i of course mean my handful of pretentious indie last.fm nerds.

anyway, the gay version of the music video is so much better.

Don’t you remember when I sent you that hoe-down throw-down song? Did you accidentally like that one?

You’re like famous by default! I’m not embarrassed to admit (okay actually I am) that I love this song, and just spent a weekend with 8 bridesmaids and we listened to this song no less than 20 times. And yes, we’re 20-something, not 13. Whatever. I totally would have made that face had I realized I was intimately connected to miley.

It drives me crazy to know that someone’s been reading my crap for a year without having a blog of her own for me to follow. Consider yourself GOOGLE STALKED, lady.

I would blame it on the short-shorts and cowboy boots, but the video just came out, so I’m lost. The painter sang along to the song when I played it yesterday, but he blamed it on his wife listening to it all of the time. I believed him at the time, but now it’s clearly a lie.

I mean, for god’s sake, the song talks about butterflies in her “tummy” and moving her hips and stuff. Maybe all these guys read the girly-men study and are just trying to get chicks.

I almost don’t want to listen to any of her other songs just in case I accidentally like them, too.

Oh, crap! I just remembered that they used to play that song “The Climb” in my gym sometimes, and I liked that.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH US?!

I’ve been reading your blog for nearly a year now (found it somehow through links…you know how it goes) and this is the first time I’m commenting…

You have no idea how weird this post is to me. That friggin Miley Cyrus song has been making little appearances in my life for months. First, the guy I’m currently dating LOVES this song. He’s a super macho, ex-marine…and that makes it hilarious to me.

THEN a male coworker of mine walked past my office singing it. I stopped him and asked him, “what are you singing?” He responded with, “That Miley Cyrus song… I love it.” Now, just so you know I work in law enforcement…another “macho man” diggin Miley.

THEN this morning I notice another MALE friend post a FB Status quoting the lyrics to this same damn song!

I find it catchy and have it on my iPod, but what is the pull that this song has towards grown ass men??

I also find myself liking Miley and really dig the video. Some things can’t be explained. :)
