Because we can’t get through one day in America without saying the word “twerk”, let’s all take a medicinal swig of Tanqueray and talk about a song called, fascinatingly enough, “Twerk”. Featuring everyone’s favorite little twerking pariah, Ms. Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and a Bieber hanger-on named L’il Twist, the track was leaked over the past 24 hours and here it is.
I’m just going to cut to the point: aside from its impeccable timing coupled with a macabre explosion of internationally famous adolescentness that exhibits in no uncertain terms what happens when an unchecked, hormonal teenager goes through a tenuous public re-branding in America, there’s not a lot TO this song.
To that point: it feels safe to suggest that it may not be possible, in terms of the natural laws that govern physics, to cram any more post teen posturing into three minutes. Three minutes of life.
This track isn’t just perfectly timed re. Miley’s VMAs scandal though; it’s perfect for all three of them marketing-wise.
Miley can capitalize on the VMA debut of her new personality, The Bieb can diversify his portfolio by collaborating on something zeitgeisty, and L’il Twist gets to be included on the credits list of something people will actually pay attention to that isn’t just a traffic violation.
Yes, it’s win-win for everyone involved and that’s true for us common folk as well. In fact, there’s probably no greater winner here than the general public for whom this was created. These kids are the true American aristocracy. Bow before them.

This is a stupid word. I wish people would stop using it because it makes them sound uneducated. The act is just a booty bounce. I want to find the person who first started using this word to mean this, and punch them in the face and walk away without saying anything.
It’s basically booty shaking – not a new dance craze. Girls have been doing this in the clubs for eons. Actually, I’ve been doing this for eons. 8-P

My love of trashy pop music is clashing with my activism side right now. On the one hand they’re appropriating black culture and making neo-minstrel shows blah blah blah. On the other I really want to go to a party and twerk like the no rhythm gay I am now…
In that GIF, it looks like the polar bear is directing Miley to go over there with her skanky cat impression. What is she doing? LOL
p.s. BeatleJuice called …he wants his frikkin suit back
And I bet you look hot doing it!
Highly doubtful. I look like I’m having an uncomfortable seizure below the waist.
LMAO just make believe your being screwed from behind when your twerking I bet you could make it look hot with that mind set. “WINK”
