Music Mondays: "Bed Chem," is the Raunchiest Song I've Heard in a Bit

I've been upfront about how I usually hate really cute and peppy pop music but for some reason, the tunes of Sabrina Carpenter melt my ice-cold heart. I love the hit tunes, "Espresso," "Taste," "Feather," and, "Nonsense." I could take or leave, "Please, Please, Please," with its country-music vibe as I don't like most country stuff, but its passably entertaining. Carpenter's music is really listenable and often quite suggestive, but man, "Bed Chem," is incredibly horny.

It has a nice synth-heavy feel and features lyrics about tossing each other around intimately and phrases that are barely coded discussing, "Arriving," at the same time to an orgasm and a thermostat being set at, "69," which is also a double-entendre for an act people engaging in romance sometimes do (if you don't know go ask your experienced friend, we all have one). It's a good song, and the fact it doesn't outright say the dirty stuff somehow makes it even more frisky than some songs that outright state what's going on--e.g. how, "W.A.P." leaves literally nothing to our imaginations. 

The, "Bed Chem," song has also made waves as it seems to reference a celebrity at times linked to Carpenter, Barry Keoghan. Regardless of whom she has good chemistry in bed with, however, she clearly is having a good fictional time in the tune. Some folk don't like her (one college I attended in the past has a recent opinion piece really ripping into her, for example), but Carpenter and her collaborators make fun songs, darn it.
