Not sure why part of you are saying DiC is too controversial

[TSUNAMI 20,879]

...and yet she got famous with Poker Face, LoveGame and nice ways of saying dirty stuff.

"bluffin' with my muffin" 

"Let's have some fun this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick" 

"Got my ass squeezed by sexy Cupid"

etc. 

 

And yall guys saying DiC is too controversial?  

 

She's know for having these kind of lyrics. Her way of expressing is the reason why she got so popular, because she could do and was willing to risk more than anyone else that was on the scene at 2009-2010.

She doesnt say it in a nice way in dic "touch myself".

It would be tragic releasing a song about masturbation as single on album which is supposed to "heal her family".

She says "I touch myself all through the night" & "I touch myself and it's alright" in SHICD and everyone loves it.

Shicd wasn't a single, and the whole tfm is inspired by sex and all kinds of other fears.

I don't know why a song like dic is on joanne, tittled and inspired by her aunt that passed away at young age.

Tragique

"Up all night, tryin' to rub the pain out" too graphic 

DIC as a single is not going to happen and you sewer rats have to accept that

 We are just saying that it's not radio friendly....they won't even play Million Reasons on the radio imagine how much they would play Dancin' In Circles...

Honestly, I think it's going to eventually be a single. The lyrics may not be subtle, but there have been plenty of songs with dirty meanings that have become big hits.

I also don't get the argument that "It'll ruin the album's image". I mean, I get it, an album about healing and about amazingly personal stories including a song about masturbation is weird, but the fact that she included it says something. For all we know, she could have written a bunch of songs with Beck and decided to take this one. There's a reason why she put it on the album, and if it was "too controversial" or "too dirty" she wouldn't have put that song on the album in the first place.

The other sexy style lyrics are cute, but DIC is too creepy.  It won't be able to become a single unfortunately.

Joanne is a personal album, about Gaga has a human being. Here, she declares openly that, has a human being, she masturbates. She reveals a lot about herself, and this is a part of her. I get why some people say it doesn't fit with the concept, but it does. She said in an interview that every song was about her life, and DIC represents this aspect of her life.

And no, masturbation shouldn't be controversial.

So, yes, play that MOTHER****ING HIT SINGLE ON THE RADIO. But not right now because it's going to be the song of the 2017 summer.

Too much drama for an activity many people enjoy.

It's natural.

I'm really torn on DiC. Part of me likes it but the lyrics, objectively are pretty terrible.

"Dancing in Circles, feels good to be lonely" is a great line but it's completely ruined by the obvious references to masturbation and then straight up just saying she's rubbing one out. The constant bombardment of masturbation in the song ruins the line because it loses any chance of carrying the multiple meanings it could have.

To me, it doesn't make sense to even attempt being a little bit ambiguous when you're revealing everything the song is about in the first verse. It just doesn't really work.

To answer your question, it's not controversial. It's just kind of bad.

Maybe it's a reverse Masturbational expedition and, while the surface meaning is masturbation, there's another, deeper meaning
