The ‘Animal’ comes alive

Believe it or not, L.A.-based electropop-rock skanklet Ke$ha is actually a 22-year-old frat boy. Never has a chick boasted bigger cajones than on her debut, “Animal.”

Where most pop ingenues her age opt for double entendre and innuendo, Ke$ha’s rap-sung lyrics go straight for the genitals, with delightfully hilarious results.

Songs like the raw “Blah Blah Blah” spell it out in an excess of Y chromosomes: “Don’t be a little bitch with your chit-chat / Just show me where your dick is at,” she spits over super-catchy blips and buzzing synths.

Ke$ha doesn’t just gobble up the sad male saps who cross her path, however. She’s a party animal, too – which of course is what this disc is all about.

She urges listeners to “Take It Off” in a sceneXcore hole-in-the-wall where there’s “glitter on the floor,” while “TiK ToK” shows her bragging about downing Jack Daniels with the best of ’em.

Listeners might not want to hail Ke$ha as 2010’s Lady Gaga, but what Ke$ha lacks in avant-garde, new-pop artistry, she makes up for in XXX rated fun that simply tells it like it is.
