"Under My Thumb"-The Rolling Stones

Some feminists have been pissed about this song for a while.  I can understand where they're coming from.  If you read the lyrics outloud in your best douchebag voice, it sounds, well, douchey.

If you look at it another way, though, it could just be about a power shift in any relationship. Like someone was treating you crappy and now you have the upper hand.  And who doesn't get a kick out of that?

Plus, all politics aside, just listen to that marimba.  No amount of possible misogyny can bury a marimba riff as smoking hot as that one.
