Birds and Bees

Scary Bitches' song 'Birds and Bees' offers a darkly humorous and satirical take on the traditional 'birds and bees' talk that parents often have with their children. The song begins with a mother catching her young daughter kissing a boy and deciding it's time to have 'the talk.' However, this conversation is far from conventional. The mother’s advice is laced with cynicism and a jaded view of relationships, reflecting her own disillusionment with men and love.

The mother’s advice is blunt and practical, emphasizing the importance of using condoms to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. This pragmatic approach is juxtaposed with her bitter commentary on men, whom she describes as only wanting two things: someone to cook for them and someone to have sex with. Her advice extends to same-sex relationships, where she suggests that if her daughter is attracted to girls, she should simply go for the one with the 'biggest tits,' further highlighting her crude and somewhat dismissive attitude towards love and relationships.

The song continues to explore various scenarios, including bestiality and incest, in a manner that is both shocking and darkly comedic. The mother’s advice becomes increasingly absurd, culminating in the daughter’s exasperated response that she already learned all of this in school. This final twist underscores the generational gap and the often outdated and misguided nature of parental advice. Through its provocative lyrics and satirical tone, 'Birds and Bees' challenges traditional notions of sex education and highlights the complexities and absurdities of human relationships.
